So far in 2016, there have been 11 homicides in Shreveport. Thats like 5 years worth for Gretna.

Plus, homocide is the only crime?

It evens out when you consider Shreveport has twelve times the population of Gretna.

.06 murders per 1,000 in Gretna, .10 in Shreveport, and .36 in New Orleans. Gretna and Shreveport are pretty close when you control for population.

If I lived in Shreveport, I'd hope to get shot ASAP.

This. Wonder what the suicide rate is like. Probably goes up when Cowboys/Bama/Arky have bad years.

but it's a mess because of a couple harmless kids playing with a frickin paintball gun
My dad has had a history of heart problems and this could have easily gave him a heart attack. It may seem harmless now but eventually these kids are going to blind or kill someone.

I'd rather my dad be getting hit by paintballs in Gretna than living on suicide watch in north Louisiana.

My dad got hit by some punks with paintball guns earlier today. Apparently, these TPOS have been driving around the area and shooting at joggers, bikers, and elderly people tending to their yards. This shite is really getting out of hand.



I can't lie.. When I was a teenager, I had a big van.. We use to pack that bitch up with people and go do some silly shite that we are lucky we never got caught doing. Well, one day someone brought their paintball gun. At first, people were shooting stop signs, then all of a sudden we come up to this girl's house we all knew. All of a sudden someone was hanging out the window unloading on this chick's car. She ended up having to get a new paint job, but nobody snitches..

We were being lil punks. I am not telling the story as if I think its cool. At the time I am sure I did, but I am pretty sure New Orleans isn't the only place something like that happens.

Gretna. Similar incidents have been reported in New Orleans and Metairie.



What part of Gretna? Not much crime in Gretna so wondering where.

Tell him to call the gretna cops. Gretna cops don't play around.

While I think it is completely stupid to go around shooting paintball guns at people and will wish they never did it when they come across the wrong person, I think its a bit of an overreaction by saying "NOLA is a fricking mess right now". If there was a protest getting out of hand and there is tension between police and protesters.. Something like that. I would say "man its a fricking mess", but this?
