re: Welcome to the Murder Capital of America doc released about BR

I wonder if this British guy had an interpreter with him. No way he has any idea wtf these people are saying.

but it's rare a SU or LSU student are involved in a violent encounter and when it does occur it's a big deal...

This is a deliberate lie intended to mislead.

In the 90’s LSU students were robbed and shot regularly by the local scolars and dindu nuffins. Young success stories shot me in June 1997 trying to carjack me for my 1969 Mustang. After two years of scrimping, saving, struggling, and eating peanut butter sandwiches I had finally restored it. Some folks are smarter and do not have to worry about learning a trade. They don’t have to work two jobs while going to college. Because ftards like you saying that my lifetime of pain from a gun shot has no value equivalent to your ignorance.

And politicians and other local leaders who cried about the lost money from St. George - can't they realize that the longer they tolerate this behavior the more money (from law abiding, productive citizens) is going to continue to leave? Their budget is going to continue to drop. Then what? What happens when only criminals and deadbeats are left?

Every politician/leader in this state should be freaking out about what is happening to Louisiana's major cities. Look 20-25 years ahead and what do you see?

Of course, the politicians are either corrupt or totally inept (see basically all of BR elected officials).

And unfortunately, most people are not willing to accept how drastic the solutions to these problems are.

As of now, I'm trying to stick it out until retirement in about 15 years with plans to move away immediately after that. I beginning to think I may have to move before that.

I'm always torn on this issue. Nothing you said is wrong, I just refuse to believe it's a natural state of things in these communities. So if it's not innate, how did we get here?

Louisiana has the second highest number of people incarcerated per capita (1094/100000), nearly double the combined average of the other 49 states. 65% of prisoners are black, more than double their share of the population at whole. Black are 4 times more likely to be imprisoned for crimes than whites (could be due to public defenders?). Louisiana has private prisons and the owners are making money hand over fist off the backs of black crime specifically.

Louisiana schools are notoriously bad. The worst of the bad are in these heavily black areas. The kids aren't learning shite, dad is in prison, not a great start to life!

Joblessness is a huge issue. The unemployment rate for blacks is 2% higher in LA than it is for the state as a whole. This is due to a number of factors...criminal records (see point 1), lack of education (see point 2), and the opinions formed by employers of "the culture" due, in large part, to points 1 and 2 combined. It's easier to sling some drugs or steal than it is to get a job paying absolute shite because it's all you're qualified to do.

These are systemic issues. Yes, some of this is due to lack of leadership in these communities, no doubt about it, but it ain't everything. Pretending the trends are wholly the responsibility of the black community is misleading, at best.

School vouchers could help, though this will make the bad schools even worse.

Removing prisons from the control of private entities would definitely help by taking away the financial reward of locking up as many people as possible (easiest to target the poorest to pump up the numbers).

Fighting generational welfare would help tremendously, taking away the easy route to living and force some personal accountability.

There has been some real success and positive outcomes with universal income in places like Stockton, CA, another place plagued with poverty and crime. Hope has to come from somewhere..that first step toward being a responsible citizen. It's working there.


A lot of ins. A lot of outs. A lot of what have yous. One thing is for sure, the status quo isn't working.

no doubt she was killed by someone that is barely literate, from a single parent home, with multiple half siblings and has been arrested at least 10 times.

Blacks breed Chaos…..facts are facts

Politics and drugs are at the root of the problem, money is used to manipulate behavior to allow the political elite to have power.

We have politicized the justice system and the government is no longer by or for the people.

Louisiana is now a lost state and likely will not recover. It is very sad that a once great place to live and raise a family is in a rapid descent to its own self inflicted hell

Remember when it was Jigga City and the hoods in BR was just dancing for 3 days straight? I mean it was still dangerous but its gotten past insane.

This is a disgusting culture and nothing will change until the people in these communities want it to change. But they don't. Just look at the old man at the end of the video laughing and joking about murder and other violent crimes. This behavior is glorified. And even the ones who don't necessarily participate in these heinous crimes are complicit because they either turn s blind eye or celebrate it when it's their crew/set/gang/whatever. But they want to cry when it's their baby that gets shot and blame everyone else. Yet the same ones crying are the ones laughing and joking and turning a blind eye to what's going on in their own front yard.

The one positive thing I saw in that video was the young man who was shot in the face talking about breaking the cycle of violence and not fighting fire with fire. He is wise beyond his years. Unfortunately the vast majority in that video have different views and so the cycle of violence will continue to escalate.

We aren’t subsidizing having more chilluns, we are incentivizing it. Have mo kids, get mo money. So they are breeding like Sauron was breeding Orcs, often without knowing, or even caring, who the sperm donors are. Better than even odds it’s someone with a record, and almost 100% they won’t be involved in their spawn’s lives. Many many times being raised by grandma or an awntie, because Mom is trying to spit out another one.

Cap the number of offspring for which benefits are available to two, and it would make a marked difference in what is otherwise a terminal situation.

Also, frick Lyndon Baines Johnson, I hope he’s rotting in Hell.
