What demographic would that be?



Lower class.


Upper middle class residents are seldom a target, especially for violent crime.

The act of being white doesn't "keep you safe". That's a completely asinine statement.

Ok, the act of being a certain demographic doesn't "keep you safe". Again, an asinine statement by you.

Love or hate, she no longer has room for the middle ground and I think that to be a bad place to be for a city.

By his theory, an upper class white guy can walk the streets of Gentilly and be completely protected by his demographic force field.

Put your pitchfork down. Demographic means a lot more than black or white, I do understand it is a trigger word to people who keep their head in the sand about why this problem will never be solved.

Not at all. NOLA has a large population of uneducated, underserved, poverty stricken, and high risk youths. It's a culture that isn't unique to New Orleans.

If you don't meet those criteria your risk of being murdered goes way down.

This is true, as of this week, Baton Rouge is the first American city to ever have a hooker killed. I'm going out to the memorial shortly

Although blacks obviously have a much better chance of being murdered, the white population is always at risk of being mugged and/or shot too if they don't comply.

The city is pretty bad.

That is more likely due to ease of getting around the city. Or just general proximity.

The good and bad areas overlap. So yeah, that increases the chance too.

Lack of well lit strip malls and box stores means that there are lots of areas not heavily trafficked at night that give prime opportunities.

Don't know, but investments keep rolling in. Look at this South Market District

And there is another new condo development about to start. Once the stupid lawyers get the fck out the way a huge new deal will take place with the World Trade Center property
