re: How many of you have actually had something bad happen to you in nola?

Circa 2008, jumped at night by an assailant accompanied by a group about a block from Fahy's bar near the Rampart Street edge of the French Quarter (540 Burgundy). Came to my senses while on my knees and being pummeled. With my attacker's knees in front of me, I grabbed his legs and executed a takedown, then got up and ran. My female friend was equally drunk and followed me to safety inside Fahy's. A police and EMT came and discouraged me from both filing a police report and seeking medical attention via ambulance. I woke up the next day in agony and went to hospital. Diagnosis: Collapsed lung and cracked ribs.
