Why do some posters here insist on convincing others to be scared sh*tless of Nola?

From a statistical and data standpoint, it really really reminds of the BLM messaging strategy. BLM basically uses anecdotes. If they wait long enough inevitably a questionable police shooting will come along and they can say "ooh! When will this ever stop. This is reality." When in reality, there is never any statistical context. Just overly-excitable anecdotes.

A black person with a piss-poor understanding of the actual data and how statistics work seriously may worry that tomorrow is the day when they are shot and killed by a cop, when in reality the probability of a black person being shot and killed by a cop at some point during a calendar year is like 1-in-180,000. In any given day, it's like 1-in-67,000,000. If you only include "unarmed black people," the probability is even more astronomically low.

The posters on this board who beat the drum for staying away from New Orleans at all costs basically do the exact same thing as Black Lives Matter.. There are roughly 120,000 white people who live in New Orleans. Also, quick research says that New Orleans draws between 15 million and 20 million vistiors per year, and obviously a big majority of those are white.

Out of all of those white people crawling around New Orleans, only 12 were murdered in New Orleans in 2015. https://nolacrimenews.com/2016/06/14/the-demographics-of-murder-in-new-orleans/ Project that for the 2022 homicide numbers in New Orelans, and it comes out to about 25 or 30.

Incredibly similar messaging strategies.
