Anyone else would rather take a bit fatal gunshot woujf to maybe th leg than have to live in a place like Shreveport? Sounds like a fair trade off to me. Granted the wound healed properly

get over yourself man. Just because i don't hold your city in the same light as you do. I read the papers. It's all the time. Continue to pretend it's not an issue if you want.

Should tell him to get strapped then come.

it's just like the people who keep saying I'm crazy to go to London for the Saints game this year because I'm likely going to get killed by ISIS

That's a once in a lifetime experience. I agree you should go to that.

actual numbers JUST got posted. And i didn't look into the link much but i'll take your word for it.
And a lot of crimes will go unreported/knocked down to something more innocuous.
I know a woman that was sexually assaulted (in what was almost certainly an attempted rape) Uptown. Took the cops 3 hours to get to the scene. Cops pressured her not to file any report, saying it was probably some harmless drunk guy getting a little too handsy. She insisted and they said they would get on it. She checked for records of the incident weeks later and said it wasn't ever reported.
ETA: And there are definitely victims of crimes that don't bother calling the police because they know it's a waste of their time.

I've always been a big champion of getting friends and people to come visit, to come be a tourist, to come enjoy New Orleans.
I love this city. I think it can be one of the most fun, and the best cities to come visit. I love living here. I've always said while you need to stay vigilant, in the mostly tourist areas you will generally be fine and not to worry about it.
A friend of mine that has been a few times was thinking of coming to visit with her boyfriend that hasn't been.
I told her not to do it, and it is the first time I've ever told someone that. While, more than likely, she will be fine and have no problems, the crime situation has just unraveled. Mitch Landrieu has pursued his own national political ambition to the detriment of his city. The city burns, the police force is a small percentage of what it needs to be, and the promise that was post-K New Orleans is just gone.
It is truly depressing, but this city really is circling the drain. I hate to be on the side of all the OT-tards that I have railed against in the past, but it is what it is.
I want to put faith in the next Mayoral election, but I doubt that will do much.
Just had a good friend move to town with his fiance, felt the need to really warn them about walking around at night, etc. I told them you just really need to keep your wits about it and its likely nothing will ever happen. I got lucky and only lost my wallet after getting a gun pulled one me in 2012ish - its a very real problem which, if left unchecked, could certainly start to noticeably hurt the city.

The funny thing is she is probably going to go to Chicago instead (she is from that general area).
But Chicago the crime is really really confined. Here it has really bled over.
The wife and I just spent a weekend in Chicago. I'm not sure where they hide the gangland violence, but it wasn't anywhere we went. It was like a nicer, cleaner New Orleans.

NO is a disaster area, and the OT's reaction is glee. Just pitiful.

what a sad fricking thread. how long will it be until every city is like this? then will yall fight back? or just decide "eh, i'll move to the country I guess"?
Nah, I'll probably just start a bunch of threads on the OT to ask whether I should move to Shreveport, Lafayette, LC, Jackson, etc

Chicago is much closer to being a cleaner New York than it is to being a cleaner New Orleans.

I'll admit, I probably deserved to have gotten held up more times than none with my drunk arse walking around the Quarter and warehouse district at all hours of the night/mornings.
There were a lot of mornings i woke up thinking to myself if I was a TPOS I would have robbed me

Never once did that. Keep falling back to that defense though.

It's a cycle. This shite happened in NYC too. They let things devolve until people stopped coming and then they elected a R Mayor and empowered the NYPD. Things changed and it is now safe and clean. We will get safe back. Clean, I think that might be a bridge too far.
New Orleans has NEVER elected a Republican mayor.
Hundreds of years all run by one party.

I've been to NOLA a bunch and I've never even been murdered
