BATON ROUGE - A woman was reportedly forced out of her car at gunpoint by a pair of robbers just outside Baton Rouge's historic Spanish Town district.

The carjacking was reported around 4 p.m. near the corner of North Street and N 12th Street, just east of I-110, according to the Baton Rouge Police Department.

The woman was not seriously hurt.

Hmm. You don't hear about too many carjackings in BR.

Isn’t this only a few blocks from where Allie Rice got shot?

The suspects, if even caught, will be released from jail in no time. Same shite, different toilet.

Isn't really that close to Spanish Town. Wrong side of the Interstate.

Yikes. After the Rice shooting, I switched up my route a bit to avoid this area.

(Granted, I forgot today and actually drove that way about 30m before this happened, but still)

Even if you prefer to avoid the interstate like I do, it feels safer to go back into downtown and take one of the safer streets like North Blvd.

What a shite hole

Should 'robbers' be capitalized to reflect a shared sense of identity and community????

There is an old Jewish cemetery right there with a bunch of graves from the 1800s. I've walked through it before. It's in the ghetto though.

doesn't mean they aren't happening. Sure the local media and authorities keep as much quiet as they can.

Shouldn't this be "different shite, same toilet"?

Then you haven’t driven in some areas I’ve accidentally driven through, like Terrace St. from Park Blvd. to get to I 10. I’m not a guy, and the people just hanging out and leering at me made me thank the Lord I got through it and will never, ever go down that street again.
