I’d say there was a ghetto pre-Katrina and that it metastasized into other parts of the city due to every property available being snapped up all at once.


Section 8 baby. Turned Tigerland from just a trashy college dive bar area to a pretty dangerous place.

Why were they there at 1:00 on a Thursday? Obviously, kids should be able eat without being shot. Was it really senior skip day?


FFS. Seniors have only been going in the morning since I was in highschool. My daughter leaves school at 10:40 every day.

Don’t let them in. Or follow them until they leave.

Maybe but I generally go around lunch time. They are probably still sleeping at that point of the day


My same thoughts about the French Quarter. Day drinking in the Quarter is still a ton of fun. We leave when the sun goes down.

I LOL’d when I saw that bald white guy calling them thugs during the police briefing. I’m sorry we were all thinking the same thing when Greg M. said it was targeted beef between 2 groups of people.

People like to pretend there was no ghetto before Katrina - delusional BR


It’s also delusional to act like it’s always been this bad. I moved here in 2000. The homicide rate in the early 2000s was significantly lower. I’m not attributing it all to Katrina, but nobody is being delusional when they say BR is a lot worse now than it was 20-25 years ago.

There were the two on Seigen: the Tinseltown incident, husband had wife whacked at the box office and the one behind Olive Garden, but nothing like this in the “good areas”

I got banned from r/batonrouge for simply commenting “fatigued”

Fatigued from what is my question. I could have been saying I’m fatigued of gun violence in America. Nope, straight permaban. A little sensitive of the truth over there.

I realize that but it was mostly contained in places law abiding citizens didn’t go
mostly

Like most cities in the 1990s - you knew where to go and where not to go.

It all changed in the early 2000s, everywhere - and so a single natural disaster can’t be blamed for that

Unless you consider electing Obama a national disaster

It is still that way. The good areas have just turned to bad areas.

North BR used to be a good area too.

Crime in Baton Rouge was contained back in the day. It started with Katrina and then Barack Hussein Obama destroyed America’s suburbs.
it just goes to show you what an amazing job Kip Holden did. There was crime but nowhere near it is now

Now that this gang violence has resulted in innocent children being hurt, I wonder/hope this is a turning point for Baton Rouge somehow.
