re: Must be close to Christmas time. String of robberies in the FQ.

Arse- Thanks for posting this. If you've ever seen these rodents in action, it's pretty horrific. I managed a store in the Quarters for about 5 years and dealt with these pests on a daily basis.

Any and all of the unattended (<18yo) black kids roaming the quarter are up to no good. True story. This is a fact. Even the little tap dancer, hood rats outside of Walgreens and Rouses..and now onto Frenchmen, are in on the game too. It's a scary, dog eat dog situation they are facing. I've seen stuff you wouldn't believe even if you knew I was telling the truth.

The gay & transexual teenagers, along with the mid-20 something black males that roam the quarter are the worst. They are mostly accompanied by a couple of beastly, skanked out teenage"fig hags", excuse me if that offends anyone. These particular groups take violence and thievery to the next level. If you don't believe what I'm saying, go check out some of the videos posted by the NOPD and/or read a couple of the police reports. It's disturbingly animalistic. Smash and grab is what they do...whether it's your face or a jewelry display case on Rampart St. Public knowledge here folks, make yourselves aware.

I've sent countless of these rodents to jail for these crimes, yet they keep coming back for more. The older housing projects used to feed a lot of this crime, and still does, funded by the city, in the newer section 8 build on the other side of Rampart. Is C-Ray to thank for that? Anyone?

The merchants on Magazine street seems to have a good bit of this under control. It's been going on for so long, it's just part of the routine.

I'm sure my post will get some flack for being a little harsh, but please, don't judge until you've seen it first hand. Bourbon is horrendous after dark. Young, black, uneducated, confused, parentless youths.

ready, set, go...
