Again you do realize that the Paul Prudhomme thing was not in Nola and was a stray bullet from a hunter, don't you?
Sorry you let a few crazy incidents drive you away.

That is an insult to TJ and Juarez. Both are safer than New Orleans.

Nola people crack me up with their "you just need to be aware of your surroundings" BS as if that absolves the city of its issues. They also seem to think every city requires comprehensive knowledge of what streets are safe at specific times (they don't). When was the last time several people got shot on 6th street, wrigglyville, etc? How many times has that happened on bourbon over the last ten years? Many tourists don't come from high crime areas, and expecting them to know how to be hyper-vigilant in New Orleans is pretty stupid.

if it were Mexico it would be, "9 dead, 1 critically injured between the hours of 9:30-10pm. 4 dead between 10pm-10:30pm" etc.

Is this the standard to which we should hold a large American city?

Finish reading what I said, and apply it to your limited imagination. If you want to get fricking technical and nitpick, it is a large north American city.

Yeah, I don't know many tourist areas in North America where viligance to avoid violent crime is necessary.

I'm not nitpicking anything. What are you talking about?
My point is that our expectations for our cities should be higher than "it's not as bad as Mexico City".

Which it is. What I'm saying is that people don't actually have it so bad, because, they have nothing to truly compare it to.
Which isn't a bad thing.

Quarter is an out of control cesspool at night. frick you for trying to excuse it and pass it off as nothing.

Yep. In a way, I get it because if somebody walked into my home, looked around and said "Wow, this is a real shithole you've got here", I would be offended.
However, if every visitor said that, I would at some point have to stop taking it so personally and evaluate whether my home really was a shithole, why it is a shithole and how to make it not so much of a shithole.

Look at the trash all over the street. Looks like mardi gras. What do black people have against garbage cans?

There's trash, piss and vomit in every neighborhood in that city

I go on Bourbon maybe once a year (either one day during MG, or NYE). It got old when I turned 18

I'm just saying that if you have half a brain that this city is safe. I lived here since 2005 and have never felt nervous let alone a victim of any form of crime. As I stated before I don't personally know of anyone that has either.
I've never been a victim of a crime(well, bike was stolen once, but that's nothing)
I have felt unsafe. If you've genuinely never caught yourself in a situation where you were on high alert, either you are oblivious (and lucky nothing happened) or don't get out much.

Pretty sure Houston would declare war if we bussed another round of Bayou Classic fans to them. They didn't particularly enjoy the aftermath of the first round in 2005.
Then move it to Chicago, would just be a meh weekend up there.
