What about robbed, raped, or car jacked?

Raped is higher. (Would assume college aged kids contribute)

Robbed and carjacked is statistically nominal

At least the DR protects the tourist areas.

Thats pretty telling when your city govt is less functional than a 3rd world country.

Agreed, we should focus our tourism dollars to protecting tourism areas rather than building roads in BFE La.

It's just the truth. Per capita white people aren't really killed in Orleans.

I can just see the billboards in other states now...promoting tourism to New Orleans.



Will also have to promote New Orleans’ natives inability to understand basic statistics.

Even if we assume the OP’s figure in regards to white victims of murder is true at 25-30, that would mean that white homicide victim rate in NOLA is 6.6-7.9 per 100,000 (all population) Compare that to national white victim rate of 1 per 100,000 (all population).

It’s even worse when you segregate out white only populations. There roughly 117,000 white citizens of New Orleans which means the homicide victim rate of a white person in New Orleans when isolated for race is 21.3-25.6 per 100,000. The national white homicide victim rate when isolated for white population is around 2.2 per 100,000.

But, yeah, totally safe.


EDIT TO ADD:

Let’s compare those numbers to Baton Rouge - a shithole in its own right.

BR’s white homicide victim rate is 4.8 per 100,000 - so roughly around 2/3rds of NOLA

And like NOLA, the white population is the minority but not to the same extent. BR’s white victim homicide race when segregated for white population is about 13 per 100,000 - making it statistically half as dangerous as New Orleans in terms of statistically likelihood of being murdered if you are white.

And Baton Rouge is a third world shithole.

I’ll tell you what. Stop whatever you’re doing and head to New Orleans in your own personal vehicle. Head downtown, find a spot to park. Then go out for a nice dinner and then head out for a few drinks after


When you get back to your car, you’ll have a 50/50 chance of your windows being busted out and all of your valuable shite missing



If you’re not willing to do this, then shutup about it

I’m as big of a Nola lover/defender as almost anybody, but as of now, it’s a third world war zone, and it is going progressively further into a downward spiral with no end in sight. It’s pretty bad.

The city government is doing a terrific job of absolutely destroying the city. It’s sad to see.

It is what it is.
You cannot sugar coat it.

Years ago New Orleans could have been the hub city of the Gulf South.
Greedy politicians destroyed that.
