I was at home and heard a lot of sirens around 1:30am and sadly my first thought was “I guess someone was shot on bourbon again”

A couple of months ago I commented on the regularity of shootings on Bourbon these days and was chastised by several posters who said it is a rare occurrence and nothing to be scared of. I stand by my original statement.

You think these folks who shoot are capable of rational thought?

So, nothing happened for a whole week on that block? Sounds like an improvement

Gang requirement?


Are you a 25 year old female? Do think that maybe not flashing their bright lights had something to do with this?

Worst part about getting shot in NOLA is the pile of poo you land in when you hit the ground


You'd be lucky if it was only poo. The crud on the streets of NOLA is currently being studied by DARPA as a potential biological weapon.

When mayor phase ta-two says to get a shot she doesn’t mean this. Also everything we love about New Orleans is because of black people

Havent been on Bourbon since 2010ish

Back then only the first block by Canal was sketchy

Now the whole street has ratchet capability


Counterpoint: the only “incident” I’ve ever personally been around on bourbon was a fist fight in front of the 700 club - ie this same block, around 2010

If they’d all just go out uptown, none of this would happen.

I refuse to go down there. It’s just a damn mess. I went to LSU and we were down there all the time. You get accustomed to a certain amount of crime and drug dealers “selling the party”

Now, there’s nothing in the FQ for me. I tell people to stay away.

Cops are too busy on important stuff like making sure everybody has a mask on.

See this is why when I go to Bourbon Street I don't leave the bar until after sunrise. Much safer walking back to hotel after the sun rises.
