[Takuan]

One of the shootings was eight blocks up on our street. May have to rethink living here.

I just don't get it. Why shoot up all these other people because you and someone else equally retarded got in an argument?

Don't you read the news and listen to the vice president? It's because the Republicans haven't passed Obama's jobs bill.

In the comments section after the story about the Louisa Street shooting, the biggest argument is whether the 1200 block is in St. Claude or the Bywater... only in New Orleans!

If they were all lawyers, I'd call this a good start.

I used to live on the 3100 block of Royal. Basically one street and a few blocks over from where this happened. Never again.

I read about this on FARK earlier. All the yank liberal dickjobs were having a good ol' hoot about it all.

My Office is on the corner of Alvar and Chartres. Nice area in the daytime. I do my best to get the hell out before dark.

You are JUST NOW figuring out that NOLA is a great place to visit but a horrible place to live? Where have you been for the past 100 years?

You're very close to the redone Alvar branch library... that's a bright spot! Where we are, I guess we're close enough to the river that we see very little trouble... it's actually a very quiet neighborhood.

Time to evacuate the human residents, fence it off, then reintroduce civilization in about six months, or however long to get a clean slate.

I suppose Heaven is a place where nothing much happens. Like Mill Valley, CA, where today's front page headline was "Local Birds Growing Larger."

(And that goes double for you, Leonidas!)

 

[Leonidas]

Amen, brother. I could stand a little boredom.

"ha... puny 9mm.... say hello to my .45! bang bang!"

For years I asked "Why can't the city spend the money, put a cop on every block and make the area bordered by Rampard St, the River,the Crescent City Connection and Elysian Fields the safest place IN THE WORLD!" It's where the city makes it's money and it's not that big of an area. NOW I'm asking Why can't they keep Bourbon St safe.

LOL...good one.

What I do to combat boredom is to watch my dogs eat grass.

That orta tell you what kind of life I am living.

and this is why you're the n00b asian shooter...

Shooting? New Orleans?... I never would have thought...

New Orleans is a historic culture rich city. The problem is many of it's citizens are criminal thugs. The city government seems incapable of incarcerating these individuals. They are afterall the Democratic voting base.
