I just wonder if she was a BRCC student, beauty school student etc if this would be the reaction some are having about LSU…I don’t think it would be and I’m saying the focus shouldn’t be that she was an LSU student it should be that she was a 21 yr old white woman that wasn’t involved in anything shady.
People familiar with Baton Rouge would still feel the same because it’s the latest incident where a true innocent is a victim. We know our kids don’t stay on campus and aren’t isolated from OOC crime in Baton Rouge.
The fact she is an LSU student DOES make a major impression on parents who aren’t familiar with Baton Rouge. I have 4 friends in North Texas who aren’t from Louisiana and currently have children attending LSU. This, on top of the multiple other incidents involving campus and/or students this semester alone, is very alarming to them and has brought Baton Rouge crime into focus for them in a major way.

“Development” pushes them out if you buy the land out from under them then have strong security for anything opening there afterward.
Doesn’t really work well around here because there is land everywhere and it is typically cheaper to build in a new place than to redevelop old places which have gone bad.
Cities like New York and New Orleans which have had gentrification tended to do so because they were out of prime land to use for their purposes, given Manhattan is an island and NOLA is bordered by a major river and a fricking lake.

This is important and needs to happen. People need to understand these are the people that are part of the group that elected the mayor. It's irrelevant to her if a bunch of angry conservatives on a message board, people who were never voting for her anyway, are mad. If people that will/did vote for her and are scratching campaign checks for her start to raise hell that will move the needle.
Until it's too late and you only have one base. And then come the personal consequences and direct effects.
You can't be an apostate to this left. You either resist from the start, which few business do, or you are stuck in a box. Which will the further depress the economic conditions in the area (see Walgreens/CVS) making it even worse.
It is resist or die... slowly.

The 80's had a few girls get attacked while walking through the amphitheater. There ere multiple students, male and female, robbed in the Kirby Smith parking lot. Back then, students lived in Tigerland, without fear. The cancer advances daily.
This shite has been unhandled for a long time.

All true but LSU is hurting for housing right now and there is some prime real estate *right there* that would kill 2 birds with one stone.

Maybe, just maybe, they could build a huge fricking dorm right near the old University shopping center. Something about 12 floors or so to house all kinds of students.
I think they just tore down one of those.

I was thinking they could build multiple structures that takes up all of that adjacent ghetto.
Posted on 9/21/22 at 7:54 pm to LSUGrrrl
That would be nice too but don’t tear down a huge dorm THEN whine about a lack of housing. (LSU whine, not you)
General idea should be to build the new dorm then demolish the old ones once no longer needed.

I think it is time for that in BR, NOLA too.
You make a "reverse" no-go zone. A corridor going N to Southern, flooded with cops, tear down the shite and build nice shite. Don't give tax breaks... just ultra secure.
And when it prospers and the best of the best economically fill it up, you expand it. LSU could be a partner in this.
The gangs/hoodrats live by fear, and that's within their own and within their own community. You have to give them fear of your turf. You're the new gang in town and you're better armed and better funded. If they fear you, they won't come. They will always find weaker targets. And that's what this is all about- make a geographical zone the least weakest.

That’s what Alabama did, but they usually do things better then LSU.

What about Georgia? They seem to be moving ahead of Alabama in the long run.

Because you’re full of shite. That’s why it’s relevant.
I graduated from LSU and didn’t give one thought to living in BR afterwards because it’s a crime ridden shithole. Not long after, I also left the state because it’s also a shithole. I haven’t been to NOLA since the National championship game because it’s the biggest shithole.
How’s that for relevancy?

No offense, but this is like the 3rd or 4th time you said in this thread that your kids aren't going to LSU. Nobody cares. LSU and LSU's enrollment is doing fine and will continue to do fine without your kids or anyone else that says their kids aren't going to be allowed to go to LSU. This thread is about the murder investigation, not you and your kids.

No offense but multiple people were having this discussion going back and forth. Multiple people all said the same. I don’t remember talking about my kids not going to lsu in this thread other than this discussion today but, if I did, it was in response to an on-going discussion and not something volunteered about “me” without context in this thread.
Funny how you called out 1 person instead of the pages of others saying the same.
I’m well aware this is about a murder investigation as one of those kids in one of my posts was directly impacted by this.
If you can’t keep up, frick off.

This type of response about that comment shows directly that you care.

Then why the need to respond?

Then repost this bs to the other dozens of folks that have said the same thing…

Do not underestimate the, I won’t say intelligence but more like shrewdness, of street thugs. They talk. They have networks of information. They know things. Heck I’ll bet many drug slingers can probably do basic math faster than a lot of people. We would say it’s applied knowledge.

Maybe the never sending kid to LSU posters can start a change.org petition or something other than this thread?

This is true. However, it seems far-fetched that they would target sorority girls specifically in that area. Why not target them closer to where they live and are in more abundance? That network would make more sense when applied to any easy target at a spot where a train is known to stop traffic late at night.
I still think this is most likely a target of convenience.

Meh. It was anecdotal evidence offered in a debate about whether the crime in Baton Rouge was impacting LSU or not. One poster stated they thought the fact the victim was an LSU student would have no discernible impact on LSU. Multiple people replied with their personal stories about why they disagreed. The debate ended so I doubt the stories will continue.
