When the standard becomes "well did it happen to you personally," you may not be on the right side of the argument.
There are people in Syria who have somehow not been attacked, but I don't know if many people are defending Syria from its detractors by saying "well did it happen to you personally?"
ETA: Before idiots start yelling, I am NOT comparing Syria to NOLA at all. I'm just using an extreme example to illustrate a point.

Being white and never being a victim of a crime in the city means it can't happen to others in his mind

Are you equating your rims being stolen with violent crime?

All I said was it drastically lowered your chances not being a certain demographic. I don't know how you pulled "it can't happen" from that.

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
BR is the second.
Dallas had five of them get killed in the early 1980s.

No, did you just miss the line about being mugged? Is a gun getting stuck in my face violent enough for you? A crime is a crime and that wasn't even the original point of your post

Sorry, didn't realize I was going to be taken in the most strict meaning possible from that. I assumed I was talking to people that realized there was facts backing up being upper-middle and white equated drastically less chance of violent crime in this city.
Apologies. I should have realized.
