I've been told that "white supremacy is the greatest threat" so I would imagine most, if not all, must have been committed by white supremacists. Does that track with reality and the statistics?

Ignore the fact that Louisiana is statistically the worst place to live in America. People that live there tho…it’s like that everywhere





Its like that everywhere with higher rates of minorities.



The state of Washington is nice, Seattle not so much. What does Seattle have more of compared to the rest of the state?




When you see homeless folks in Austin, do you say It's like that everywhere. Because I don't have homeless folks on the streets where I live in Louisiana. But people in Austin do.

Austin's crime rate is generally higher than the national average



Oh, look at that.

Motor vehicle theft has seen significant year-over-year and multi-year increases.


So like New Orleans, good job Austin.

8 were set on fire last night.


At least with a carjacking there is a possibility of getting the car and maybe some items in it back.

They did a study in 1990s at Charity Hospital for every 1 murder there were 6 shootings Had over 2000 shootings a year back in 1990s. Most were located in the housing projects. Not saying it is great now but in 1990s it was totally insane Also the armed robberies were much higher then especially Uptown

I can guarantee you that in 1994, when Nola had 424 murders, they had more shootings than that


There were a helluva lot more people in the city too.

Also, these stats are clearly skewed a bit by a mass shooting incident




Oh, that one counts as a mass shooting?

If someone can figure out how to get black people to quit shooting each other that would be great but until that happens do the numbers really make a difference?

They are here. Specifically in the areas with the shootings happening.

Maybe they are the shooters?

The worst places in NOLA these days are around CBD/Magnolia st area by the old Melph/8th ward by St Roch/Galvez and 9th ward by the canal. Oh and NOLA East.

Things never change. The police chief looks like a old lunch lady. Everyone is laughing at her.
