re: LSU Northgate-Highland/HBCU Homecoming shootings explained

If you want a quality area of town you have to make it happen and not just hope it happens. That part of town being an amenity to the city and campus would bring such a better reputation to LSU and the city

You haven't been paying attention to Baton Rouge politics over the last decade.

LSU isn't going to get treatment like that unless Southern does too.

LSU should have tried to get into St. George.

Young ____s

Carnival Cruise Line has a script to follow to avoid all of this ??

Simple solution. NGM needs to pay for official police security for any "outside" events.

I encourage everyone to let the LSU Administration and Athletic Administration hear from you. It is the only way things are going to change. I work on campus.

If you work on campus, then you know damn well they’re not going to do anything meaningful to get the campus back under control on gameday. They’ve known for years there are major problems on campus and their only answer is to bring in more law enforcement who just adds to the number of police who stand around and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

I emailed my state legislators and requested national guard presence in that area for home games moving forward.

No one understands what you are trying to get across. Can you please explain this more plainly? Lots of words and I am confused. Stop the word salad and just outright say the problem as you see it, please.

It is a very basic premise and it has been the case for quite a while: The YN's are moochers, they want to go where they can do all their bullshite for free. Open a black club, and the problem generally is not inside the club - it is outside the club where all the freeloading YN's loiter. I have a black event center and a black club behind my office. Small town, and both owners keep the thumb on everything. Never had any problems because they run off the YN's who tended to try to congregate outside.

Black trail rides were a safe staple - bunch of black cowboys and their families hanging out. Then, someone figured out there could be big bucks in the events if you expanded who could come. They quickly became shitshows that basically had to be regulated out of business. A particularly bad one involved about 7000 hoodrats from Shreveport coming to the event - way over capacity, no parking, people littering and raising hell, people shitting and pissing in yards, parking on people's lawns, etc.

You cannot let the YN's weasel their way in.

Northgate merchants allowed 2 smoke shops to come to that area

Seems to make sense but arent there the same shops all over town? Even if they weren't there, wouldn't people just bring what they had at home?

had a DJ outside which created a free block party scene in the street

That's enough of an attraction? There is a major game on campus, that isn't enough to draw any bored kid from within 20 miles away?

I park near the lsu band building on Aster street. Been doing that for years. The area has been getting worse as time progresses. In fact, my truck took bullets during an on campus gang related shooting for last year’s Ole Miss game. There has been a huge difference in that area this year as compared to last year; and not in a good way. Luckily we left early enough to avoid the closure of Highland. The vap shop on the corner of Aster and Highland had a huge presence of YNs. It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when some innocent family or bystanders get caught up in direct fire or in a crossfire. There needs to be a discussion of political leaders and influencers about this area before it’s too late. But I’m afraid it’s too late because that area is worse than ever.
