I visited New Orleans for NY eve/day for 2020 (little did I know it was to be my last pre pandemic travel!) and I loved it. Great music, food, drinks you can carry around. Frenchman’s street—fun! No smells, being in winter helped I’m sure. My musician high schooler played ragtime on a bar piano and got tips! He wants to move there.

Western civilization is on the way out. These people will be surprised when they find out the Chinese will not tolerate this behavior.

..........I agree and love the historical component of being in the hundreds of years old French Quarter. I would point out that the French Quarter has ALWAYS been a mecca for people, shall we say, on the lower end of the quality spectrum.

I think you just have to be real careful and real AWARE and off the streets no later than 1:00 a.m.

New Orleans always was a tough town. It used to be my town. Hadn’t been there for a long time before I had to spend a week there last year. It’s a violent, dysfunctional Gothic craphole now.

In New Orleans last March some degenerate followed my 79-year-old father onto the streetcar after seeing him leave the bank. He tackled my dad from behind in broad daylight on the neutral ground of St. Charles Avenue when he got out. Thumped his head on the ground hard. He was after Dad’s wallet. Dad spun so as to land on his back and double-kicked the thug from shins to gonads to ribcage until the guy gave up and ran away. Dad kept his wallet, but started falling down and losing his grip on things after that. The least you could say is that the head shot didn’t do him any favors. He ended up being transported by ambulance to the emergency room a couple of months later. He’s in a nursing home now...forever.

I talked to the District Attorney about it when I was down there. They found the guy who did it. The charge? Attempted Simple Robbery. “Charming” isn’t the adjective that comes to mind when I think of New Orleans.

“Details about the argument haven’t been available...”

I’d imagine it was an argument about whether the woman could keep her purse.

My son was admitted Into the University of New Orleans for Fall 2021–he’s waiting til the last minute to decide as he wants to pick a college that has the most in person classes offered but he sure loves New Orleans. A jazz/ragtime/blues paradise! And he loves hot weather too. Won’t go to any college where it snows.

I think it will be a four way battle between the Chinese, Muslims, Globalists, and Christians. We know who will win in the end.

Yet another hate crime that the media will ignore. Remember folks, white supremacy is the biggest threat…
............................................................
In any truly civilized society, as I never get tired of repeating, any person who commits such a murder, in flagrante delicto, should be apprehended, tried, convicted, and executed within a fortnight, and the question of “motive” should be inadmissible at trial. No appeals and no exceptions.

Unlike George Zimmerman, the victim couldn’t fight back.

“New Orleans always was a tough town. It used to be my town.”

Yep, lived there in the 70’s on the West Bank off Gen. Degaule Dr. Used to be a nice area. Went back and drove down in that area after Katrina and quickly turned around and left. I still have a soft spot in my heart for Nawlins though. Just stay away from Bourbon St.

Interesting that the police released details on how the victim was killed (including a quote from the suspect), but no info as to why.
....................................................
Motive in such cases is totally irrelevant and therefore should be inadmissible in court. And the murderer in such cases should be apprehended, tried, convicted, and executed within a fortnight. No appeals and no exceptions.

Why not? That sounds like a policy the left would promulgate!

I took my daughters to New Orleans in 2013 for a business trip. We walked from our hotel (Holiday Inn) to the Cafe Du Monde in the French Quarter (famous Donut shop). It got dark as we walked home. Having been to Major cities all over the world (except Africa), I sometimes felt unsafe in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. However I have never felt as vulnerable and unsafe as I did walking to our hotel from the French Quarter. I think I can imagine what a major African hell hole city feels like at night...
