re: French Quarter robberies

go across Esplanade

That's a long walk, but yes I have heard that. Have made the walk to Esplanade once for the Port of Call burger. But that was near 10 years ago and daylight.

I understand if I lived there I would get sick of the FQ.

Actually I think the opposite. I lived in the Quarter for 2 years, moved out, and now I just moved back literally 2 days ago. I love it.

And I'm glad redneck retarded asses like you generally stay out of the city. Educated tourist from around the world come to N.O. for great food, architecture, museums, theatre, and great bars, etc. And not the kind of bars where clueless punkasses walk around with big green drinks in plastic cups.

Hey man.... Easy...

You have to have a Hurricane which leads to the drink you mention, the Hand Grenade. Gotta do it once. I of course had a much better time at the Carousel Bar in Monteleone. Love bars on Royal. There aren't many and are only a block away. But they are the difference in cargo shorts and slacks. If a slacks crowd is what you are looking for.

I LOVE New Orleans. Every time I stumble or at times walk through a carriageway I always think to myself how awesome it is that this is not for show. A century or three ago horses and carriages actually HAD TO USE this carriageway. It's not there to be cute or decorative. It's just still there.

Public execution is the only real answer...

First you have to make arrests, law enforcement in the city is generally incapable of this feat. And when the cops do try to enforce petty crime they are branded as brutal.

If they are arrested the juries of their peers are more sympathetic to the perpetrators. Why would one even want to work for the prosecutors office in this city.

I think it has come to the point that the city charter should be revoked and the municipality managed by the State of Louisiana

I'm beginning to think the mayor and police chief are deliberately trying to foster chaos so the federal government will either relax the consent agreements or try to get more federal money so they can pilfer it.

NOPD is overstaffed with functional retards and criminals still. In all of my years, I have only met 3 or 4 NOPD cops that I would trust holding my phone for 10 minutes

---

I understand your exaggerating to make a point. But point well taken...NOPD will hire anyone. And it makes the legit cops just want to quit because of the stupidity they have currently.

quote:

---

New Orleans can't spare the resources from its criticial zoning, planning commissions, neighborhood development and permits departments, to try to address the crime problem.

---

While some of those groups and the people in them are idiots, I don't think not having them would change the crime problem or help the NOPD in any way.

And I do bitch about those folks some, but it sure beats the alternative of letting people build what they want, where they want, with no infastructure planning, etc. In the cool places like Livingston Parish, they build shite and worry later about how to deal with traffic, flooding, etc. And who cares about how an area looks or anything.

Not really exaggerated. I frequent a bar with one 28 year old NOPD cop that is just a regular guy. Wouldn't have any idea he was a cop unless you knew him. Works in Central City, and for some reason, he doesn't want to transfer to LSP or anywhere else. Weird, I know.



IIRC, only like 20% of the murders in New Orleans get solved. If there is anywhere to practice snake throwing, it's in the chocolate city.

Step 1: Hide rattler in watermelon
Step 2: Put watermelon in street
Step 3: Take phone out and start recording vertically
Step 4: Hilarity ensues
Step 5: Yell "World Star!" and post video on WSHH
