I grew up in the 60's and 70's and remember Baton Rouge being a peaceful, sleepy city. During that time, I had family who lived in North Baton Rouge off Evangeline Street, Monterrey Boulevard and Little John. I had a friend who lived north of Florida Boulevard in a subdivision off Sherwood Forest. My Grandmother lived in Walker and, when we came to visit, it was always a treat to go into Baton Rouge.

You have BRPD units sitting directly in front of the entrances of the mall and these idiots still walk right by them and carry their guns into the mall and start shootings. Deterrents don’t work for these idiots.

What do people expect the national guard to do?

In New Orleans they stand on Bourbon as a deterrent but they aren't going after people in the 7th ward or doing any policing.

BR is too spread out and crime to widespread for NG deployment to do anything but evoke optics.

The federal govt can't help you solve the root cause of your problems which is soros funded judges and DAs cycling the offenders right back onto the street whereby they are free and emboldened to commit worse offenses.

If your community is not motivated to vote better, your community is lost. Get the frick out.

Even then you had race riots in BR they killed police and "protestors"

Everyone has some revisionist memory or BR being a quaint little city and that just isn't true.

What? Everyone loves to say it. It's been 22 years and people are still bitching and complaining about Katrina.

Baton Rouge had plenty of homegrown thugs pre-Katrina, but if you stayed south of Florida Blvd, you were generally pretty safe, especially when EBRSO opened a substation smack in the middle of Gardere Town. Post Katrina, the cancer spread at an accelerated pace, only briefly slowed by Kip and his policies that encouraged BRPD to do their jobs instead of hogtying them like the next idiot did. The increase in the percentage of voters electing judges based solely on skin color (and even the candidates promising to be soft on crime) has also been an accelerant. The nepotism, racism, and low IQ in the 19th is clearly a factor.

Virtually every murder seems to have a common theme. Criminals being turned loose to repeat their crimes. Rap sheets longer than the Dead Sea Scrolls, why are these yutes still mingling in society? Try and punish juvvies as adults and build CECOT level prisons. As big as they need to be. And make inmates lives abjectly miserable. Making removing rogue judges easier and have independent panels review performance, not their Dad, Brother, or their Uncle that also sits on the bench.

Sell it however you want. If no one takes their blame it will just keep moving in the same direction.

What are army soldiers doing to do to stop crime in BR? Seriously. Will they stand on corners in north Baton Rouge? They can stand downtown like they do in the French quarter, but that’s not stopping the neighborhood thugs, it’s just keeping them out of downtown.


You live in a big house with many rooms. You have a new puppy that is causing absolute havoc in the house. Destroying things, pissing and shitting everywhere, and the quick slippery shite runs away when you try to grab him.

To make it easier to corner the little shite, you start locking down rooms by closing the door on him. He is no longer able to go to those areas. This makes the area the dog has available much smaller than before. This makes it easier to catch said bad dog. Once caught, you can put the destructive little shite that doesn’t listen and follow the rules in his cage, thus freeing the house from the chaos and destruction.



Glad I could help.

Why not just use that time to train the dog not to be a little shite? All you have now is a boxed in little shite.

Zero folks think BR was “some Mayberry” before Katrina but Nola folks who refuse to admit that BR taking on and keeping the absolute worst humans y’all had to offer had no effects on BR is hilarious

Every other city that took them on agrees
