re: Just another day in the Crescent City

They should have been dismembered on the spot.

7000 block of Willow isn’t right next to Audubon Blvd and Tulane Campus? Think you’re talking about 8400 block of Willow

Yes. Broadway is the cross street for the 7200 block. Carrollton splits the 8000 and 8100 blocks.

Upriver from Carrollton was always sketchy.

They love the colored handguns out there, back in the day some teedy disciple was robbing people all day with this blue handgun, got a bunch of Tulane students. Never heard of him gettting caught , must’ve committed over 20 robberies

It's close enough to the school. That is almost certainly student housing. Not that home invasions should be happening, but that area has never been safe and unfortunately some college students are involved in drugs and get crosswise with dealers and this kind of stuff happens. Again, this should not be happening but this is nothing new for that part of town. In a lot of ways the Tulane student experience is the wild west.

We have a problem with a certain aspect of our population. Are we going to act surprised every time this stuff happens?

Any city anywhere in the world with a similar problem is going to have the same events occurring. It will never get better, so just move on. I honestly wish news outlets would just stop reporting on it.

This could easily have been BR.

Hmmmmmm. No descriptions of any of the perpetrators. Wonder why?

I'm assuming the NOPD feels they don't have to release that information because it's a given. My office is in the CBD and couldn't tell you the last time I saw a marked NOPD vehicle. Not the parked ones with no one in them, but one actually patrolling.

how far out of Nola proper does one need to live to escape the bullshite ?

I was in Harahan near Elmwood and the river for about 8 years and never had a problem.

Away from the river, like the Creeks apartments and a little down Hickory have had incidents with NOLA hood rats coming out to break into cars and one carjacking. Both times the JPSO made arrests, and unlike Orleans, the Jefferson judges don’t release them.
