People have families, friends, and careers here
Correct. But, people have also left their hometown in search of better paying jobs and quality of life for years now. Not to mention, this is the easiest time ever to find remote work compared with years ago when it barely existed.
Friends come and go and the older you get you realize you are more content with spending time with your significant other and your children. Everyone seems more busy than ever before. Yes, it’s great to stay in touch with friends, in particular, old friends but life gets busy.

Because of fatigue. It’s enough, lock up the criminals and don’t let them out. Lack of regard for others in the society needs to end. It’s both the individual and the parents fault

BATON ROUGE — Four men were charged Thursday in a March shooting that killed 8-year-old Davian Nicholas while he played basketball near his home.
Hunter Calligan and Jeremiah Tanan Scott, both 22, were indicted on second-degree murder in the killing. Scott was also charged with illegal use of a weapon.
Jeremiah “Meezy” Walter, 25, and Everett Chambers, 21, were charged with manslaughter. Chambers was also charged with illegal use of a weapon.
Nicholas was playing basketball with siblings at a basketball goal at the dead end of Toria Avenue, a few doors down from his home on San Juan Drive about 6 p.m. on March 8.
Earlier in the day, arrest documents said, two armed groups had been arguing. A dispute between Calligan and Walter led to the arguments, arrest warrants said.
“These arguments escalated throughout the day. The two groups exchanged gunfire on San Juan Dr., with one group positioned on foot near the intersection with S. Laredo, and the other group inside a moving vehicle near the intersection with Toria Ave.,” one of the arrest affidavits said.
Nicholas was shot in the exchange of gunfire and died a short time later at a hospital
Calligan lived at the house at the corner of San Jan and South Laredo, where deputies found a “large number of rifle cartridge cases” in the street after the shooting, the affidavit said. Investigators said Calligan told them he had a rifle and a handgun because he was expecting a fight with the other group, the affidavit said.
Scott told investigators he went to Calligan’s house in black clothing and a black ski mask. He brought an “AR-style rifle,” his arrest warrant said.
Walter and Chambers were in a Dodge Charger on San Juan, with Walter driving, Chambers’ arrest affidavit said. Calligan and Scott were outside Calligan’s house.
Walter drove toward Calligan’s house and investigators say Chambers fired a handgun at Calligan and Scott from the Charger, arrest warrants said.
Detectives believe Scott then stood in the street and fired back with his rifle. His position put Nicholas “in the direct line of fire,” Scott’s arrest warrant said.
Sheriff Sid Gautreaux called the crime a “heartbreaking and senseless tragedy.”
Katrina Culbreth, Nicholas’ aunt, told UWK it took away a child whose intelligence and personality left a lasting impression on everyone who met him.
“He’s pretty much a really, really smart kid,” Culbreth said. “He was the type of kid you’d catch reading books. He would play outside some, but he loved learning.”
Chambers pleaded not guilty in court Thursday. Scott and Calligan are set to be arraigned on Tuesday.

So much truth. I was born and raised in Baton Rouge and for decades I genuinely expected that BR would have it’s moment in the sun- - - that it was the South’s “Next Great City”- - and as I am just a few years from retirement, I can’t wait to leave. Baton Rouge ( and Louisiana for that matter) is a shithole. Sure, we have some unique attributes and awesome things no other place has- - but when you stack all this up against everything else, you still end up with shithole.
Truthfully, it should have been the “next great southern city”. All ingredients were there…. But beginning with population explosion back in the 50s the city was NEVER managed properly, never managed for growth, never managed for prosperity. Leadership has been reactionary, ambivalent, and committed to funneling $$$ into selected pockets.
I still love my home- - but it is a shithole.

We don't have anywhere near enough people incarcerated.

Blacks commit practically all of the violent crime plus a variety of other negative social behaviors and we have the gall to notice. Why does that upset you?

Have they caught the other shooter from the most recent mall shooting yet?
Posted on 6/28/26 at 10:21 am to nicholastiger
Probably shot himself in the leg and is blaming it on a group of people. Sounds fishy.

Just spent the week in Fort Collins. I was curious about crime stats. There were more murders in June in BR than Fort Collins had in all of last year (5). There has not been a moment here that I did not feel safe walking around with my family.

Once St George realizes they need to pay taxes to solve their problems the place will fall apart.
None of them can afford to live the life they want.
Just move further out and ruin someone else's peace.

Any description of the shooter(s) yet, or should we just assume the usual suspects?
