Lets pretend this is true. Her statement, nor yours. Jim cant go to work(lol) because of covid. He gets paid to stay at home for covid. He resorts to killing someone or a few people. All because of covid. How ridiculous is that?

Right or wrong, it was attributed to what was claimed to be an extremely sharp increase in domestic violence.

Nope, idiot. That only applies to the second half of 2003
The BCS Championship game for the 2003 season was played on January 4, 2004.

Katrina in 2005. Point of no return.

Posted on 1/1/24 at 11:26 pm to Btrtigerfan
Things got worse after Katrina.

BR has had 7 years in its history with 100+ murders and Broome been the mayor for 6 of them. There's been almost no population change either in the past 23 years.

She had some help with the judges and DA.

Yeah, about that…
BR boomed overnight in 2005 before returning to normal levels. And the trend seems to have been the Katrina contingent moving in and a lot of other people saying “Yeah, frick it, I’m out.”
Sure tracks with when the numbers started to change.

I would argue that the homicides are predominantly black on black crimes.
The overdoses span all socioeconomic levels. It really is sad. In 2001, Louisiana reduced the sentence for dealing heroin from life in prison to 50 years.

The metro area is 870,000....up from about 700,000 in the 2000 census. IDK if that's from Katrina or not. But outside of the oil bust era of the 1980s, the metro area has outpaced the national average in growth for the past century.
The disclaimer is that much of that is in suburbs within East Baton Rouge or in suburban parishes like Ascension or Livingston. And I'm pretty sure the region's road network, public education, and housing costs are starting to hold it back. There is a finite amount of land in area's not prone to flooding to develop, and areas within and outside the city limits are starting to have issues continuing the level of growth they've seen in the past. There will be some housing costs issues soon if not already.
As far as murders....I wouldn't be shocked if there were equal or even more in the 1980s or 1990s despite the parish having less than 400,000 residents back then.

Yep. It's a huge problem and can potentially get worse if we get a shitty DA like the one that New Orleans has.... but it's not growing exponentially like our overdose problem is.
How to combat the issue is a whole other thread. But we aren't really doing shite about it as a country. Baton Rouge's efforts logically are limited to very localized programs and (not kidding) buying bus tickets to Atlanta for people in the open drug markets/homeless camps. We have a crisis in this country and very few people are even trying to do something about it.
