A shooting. On bourbon. At a fried chicken spot.

If you can tie a pit bull into this somehow you’ve got the OT’s wet dream for a story

No the key is a poor woman lost her life walking down the street. And another blow to the tourism in New Orleans. Knowing the OT, the location will create comments.

(no message)

Memo to new N.O. Police Chief:

1) DO NOT advertise the fact, on TV, that your officers seized 7 guns off Bourbon Street patrons in the last 2 days, and

2) DO NOT make an appeal, on TV, to the citizens to "... please leave your weapons at home".

These kinds of things aren't a problem that's going to go away. It's a split second decision made by trash who didn't go there with a gun looking to do anything wrong, but was able to access one when pissed off. No real way to prevent it if you're going to have armed people hauling drunks out of establishments all night long.

The FQ is a pretty small area that should be able to be made safe with a robust police presence. At this point N.O. is almost entirely dependent on tourism for its economic future. You would think that the city's #1 priority would be to get this squared away. You would be wrong I guess.
