New Orleans has always had a big crime problem. Murders have (thankfully) come down a bit in recent years but are still high, and other violent crime remains high.
IMO one thing that makes NOLA crime "scarier" than the crime in other cities is that the location of crime is more dispersed in NOLA than in a lot of big cities. A lot of cities have pretty well defined "good" and "bad" areas, whereas in New Orleans things are a lot more mixed so the crime is not as isolated.
The recent police shortage has obviously done nothing to help the situation.

They are probably on the way to work I'm sure.

The female thugs in my smaller town had a fight like that a little while back. Our police chief and prosecutor say it was actually beneficial and none of the offenders have been in trouble since.

You are 100 percent right. Baltimore had 9 murders last weekend and Chicago probably had three times that. Whatever happens in New Orleans pales to those cities, statistics wise. However, like you said the crime areas in New Orleans tend not to be isolated, which is the problem. The mansions on St Charles avenue are a stones throw from crack dens. Criminal culture suffuses popular areas putting people at risk, ie the Quarter, whereas no one is likely to be mugged or shot in Chicago down by the Navy Pier. Police manpower is the obvious solution here. Whether it comes anytime soon is unlikely though

Fight club!!!
Seriously, all it would take is for about 100 of scum women like this to be sterilized and it could make a real difference in the city's crime culture for a few generations.
Those hood rats in the picture could be or will be responsible for 30 or so father-less kids.

This issue is that New Orleans is an epic hole in the ground. Give me BR all day long over that town to our south

If sitting in traffic, and nothing else, is what you like to do, BR is the place for you.

If you have any police friends ask them whats going on.
There are many more shootings and killings that are going on daily in BR, NO and other places that aren't being publicly documented to keep the public from panicking.
i have several police friends that work N.O. its actually better now than it was pre-Katrina. gentrification has helped a lot in some areas.

Yea, thanks NO. Houston is still recovering from Katrina and the 'waste' you left behind.
