You need to be ready to immediately file suit back with a soft tissue claim if they get representation.

I guarantee it wasn’t nearly as scary as he thought



Man I had 15 or more people that I didn’t know in an area where bad things happen regularly all already on the phone and yelling and harassing me and trying to get me on video saying I was at fault. Right after an accident when my adrenaline is pumping. It then took multiple hours for the police to arrive as the other individuals left the crime scene and came back at their leisure. Thankfully though nothing ultimately happened. But it was highly uncomfortable having so many people involved and adversarial in what should have been a polite and professional 1 on 1 exchange.

Same, I keep an rpg-7 in the back seat whenever I go back to New Orleans.

I'm in that area often. It can be scary when it's a beautiful day outside and you don't get into an accident with 47 family members getting out of the car like it's the Coolio "Fantastic Voyage" video.

It feels like almost anywhere on Broad is shady.

a stop sign at the weird intersection you have to pass through to turn left on Washington and Broad.



I dont think there is a stop sign at that intersection....its a stop lights and a huge intersection.

I thought the same bc I think OP makes up a lot of his posts...but I think he is talking about the side street you have to take to turn left onto Washington off of Broad. S. White I think.

It’s not a great area, but refusing to drive through New Orleans without a gun is ridiculous.

There is literally no excuse not to have a dash camera. Even wal mart carries them. They are cheap and they save your arse.

I figured he may have been talking about Washington and S Dorgenois or something. Where it splits off to go to Toledano.

Do NOT let your insurance company assign mutual blame. That’s what they want to do so they can raise the rates on both parties. Insist that you’re not at fault at all. Not even 1%.

Haha...not at all, scary because they have fricking cracked-out looking zombies who look like they are smoking rocks the size of meatballs all over the place whenever I'm on Broad. I've actually made a comment on here before about Broad being one of the worst-looking spots that I drive in (and I have experienced some crazy road rage shite while on Broad as well). It does not surprise me that this happened to the OP in that general area and I hate scamming pieces of shite, so I wish the best to the OP.

Take a spin down Simon Bolivar between Napoleon and Downtown next time you need to go west to east or vice versa. S Claiborne is wild too. Like driving in Mexico.

Aside from this car wreck which is about cause you a major hassle, you will regret letting your addict friend stay with you.

I hear ya. I mean, there's a number of streets that have stretches that have quite the personality and I'm pretty used to them. But there are a few that I've experienced some interesting things on more than the others.

Well within maybe 1 minute I shite you not this dudes sister, grandma, grandpa, aunt, dad (who all identified themselves to me) and god knows who else all were on the scene. Literally in a minute.
good chance I know some of them, I know several families from that immediate neighborhood and can’t pass through there without seeing some of them.

You get a last name from them?

Because Lester, he was surrounded by scary looking black people in the hood. That’s why he needed a gun


Is that the answer you wanted to hear?
