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.

No, the rise of revolving door justice is what got us into this mess..... the cries of we have too many incarcerated is one of the biggest lies spouted to Americans....


We don't have anywhere near enough people incarcerated.

If he lives in a black area then he’s right. If he lives anywhere else then he’s just paranoid.

Southern New Mexico is what you seek

Why do so many people find satisfaction out of feeling like victims and marginalized by society these days? It's a really strange trend.


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?

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.

I cant tell if this is the actual quote, or bad journalism.

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?
