The city is no better than it was 4 years ago.

I'd be madder about tax paying citizens having their windows smashed every other week than some hood beef murder in some part of the city I'd never find myself in to begin with.

Exactly. I couldn’t care less about the TPOS killing each other.

Keep that shite outta my hood and leave our property alone.

The city needs to worry about and protect its tax base and not the leaches. frick them all, let them kill each other.

I don't think it is an either/or thing.

Success rate and lack of consequences is probably the drivers for the continuing break-ins.

Were the consequences lowered for property crimes recently? Something has to have caused the almost 100% spike.

I think it is 60% spike, but yeah a dramatic increase.

Could just be imitation due to results generated and not really the consequences changing per se.

Adults are just now commissioning juveniles to commit the offenses. Because of the insistence by Jason Williams, Susan Guidry, and Mitch that we have small adult and juvenile jails for the sake of it, the "Youth Study Center" (a ridiculous name) is constantly full and 15-17 year olds arrested "for just property crimes" are released the same night.


That aside, raise the age by the legislature has made burglaries by 17 year olds a juvenile offense, where a year ago they would have gone to OPP and been prosecuted by the DA as adults. Later this year, even violent offenses by 17 year olds will be juvenile crimes.

That is just infuriating. I swear I’m writing a letter to my councilman next week and will encourage all of my neighbors to do the same. This is getting ridiculous

We love visiting NOLA and come at least once a year. We avoid the Quarter and stay in the Garden District. That said, you never know when you’ll be confronted with a dicey situation.
