It can happen. But more importantly, even if he was out at 4:30 SO WHAT?! He was MURDERED. It’s a sad statement that we now act like anybody out late deserved to be killed.
If you’re really interested in this story, as I was because I’m interested in urban areas and how to survive in them, check out some of the New Orleans blogs covering this. Apparently, this area was in the depths of the New Orleans ghetto not near the French Quarter.
NO! I’m simply not following the politically correct way of thought.
Critical thinking is dead and YOU are one of the supporters of such “muerde”!
Thanks for your thoughts.
Please define your use of the phrase: “blame the victim”
And, please focus on the term “blame”.
Sometimes the victim is at least partially to blame. I wouldn’t recommend walking through a pack of pit bulls wearing steak, either.
Well to do ex-frat boy strolling through the ‘hood at 3am is asking for trouble. Being under the influence doesn’t help.
Since he partied his way through Tulane (Kappa Sig), he should have known to travel in a pack, and what areas to avoid. It’s not like a tourist from rural Iowa who wouldn’t even have a fighting chance and would merit your defense.
For more on the frat:
“Well, if there was any question as to who the party house is/was on the Tulane University campus, it was reaffirmed this past Friday by two Kappa Sigma brothers and a little help from the Louisiana State Police.”

Just look at any of your own posts on this thread.
Deflection
Once upon a time we blamed the NEIGHBORHOOD for being bad, not the people who got killed for being out late.
Fact.
Sadly, not for many neighboring cities who opened their doors to Katrina refugees and were thanked with rising crime.
I traveled to many US cities in my career—for business and conventions.
I have never felt palpable evil like I did when I was in New Orleans in 1992.
I never felt it in any other city, before or since.
I have never been back.
You have no real concept of the common English language other than what you assign it to be.
Piffle.
As New Orleans goes, it doesn’t look that bad. It’s an area where I’d be willing to drive down the main boulevards in daylight, and you can’t say that about all of New Orleans.
The bar they went to isn’t that far from Tulane, and it may have been their hang out when they were in college. But I would fault his frat brothers for not making sure he got back safe from the bachelor’s party. Looks like one guy tried, but when he lost contact with him, went on.
Piffle all you want. You blamed the victim and you know it.
Decent folks have no business being in a bad neighborhood in the early hours of the morning, unless they are cops, firemen, or paramedics, and even then they need to show caution. While this guy may have been too drunk to think straight, he shouldn’t have let himself get in a condition where he couldn’t exercise sound judgment. Teenagers do stupid things. By 25 and a veteran of a national political campaign, common sense should be kicking in.
again, provide your critical thought on the phrase “blame the victim” and, focus on the word BLAME.
or is that just a “tasty way” of telling me off?
words mean something
Good Lord...you stand on your OPINION? Doesn’t that make you a complete ass?
Piffle.
I will never go back. And I would never advise anyone else to go.
Sorry but that’s just sickening vile victim blaming there. Decent folks should be able to go ANYWHERE ANY TIME and anyplace they can’t needs to be fixed. Your kind of thinking is basically telling the bad guys they win, you’re giving them parts of the city to do with as they please while us “decent folks” hide in terror. Pathetic and disgusting.
OH, MY!
Par35 just...
pwned you!
