Show me another city with the crime rate that NOLA has. The city caters to filth and decadent behavior, so don't be so surprised when it happens. When you allow a group of people to get wasted and act like animals, you're going to get criminal acts.

Maybe NOLA should clean up that shithole and cut out the public drunkeness and maybe you wouldn't have a fraction of the crime that goes on there, or people passing out in public
If folks like YOU would stay out of NO then maybe the crime wouldn't be as high. It fans like the guy in the video that commit that are doing this. Apparently you haven't been to Gulf shores that place smells as bad or worse and there is a lot of crime there.
I am all for the Crystals and anyone else who watched this happen, being held somewhat responsible for not calling the police or throwing the people out of the restaurant. So they way you talk is just b/c someone else commits a crime and a city has an above avg of crime everyone should be able to commit a crime.
I am a over zealous fan myself but I would never resort to something like that.

For being such a shite hole the people still come. Super Bowls, BCSCG, Sugar Bowl, Final 4s, Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, and a ton of other shite. Bet Alabama wishes they had one shite hole like New Orleans... One with some allure, unlike the shite holes that they have (Birmingham, Mobile, Huntsville, Montgomery).
Best tourism attraction in Bama is the projects that you need to "hide yo kids, hide yo wife" in.

What does the crime rate have to do with this? You act like people here are ok with the murder. We aren't, but the crime is fairly restricted to certain areas of the city and there's only so much that can be done. You can bash NOLA all you want, but I don't think anyone in NOLA encourages any of the crime, or this act. You're also making the assumption that all the crime here is somehow fueled by the fact that NOLA allows you to party. The two are not related and like I said you can gtfo

Alot of people like a "anything goes" type of atmosphere. Why do you think Vegas advertises, what happens here stays here?
I would like to have some events in the state, sure. I would not like to have people publicly drunk and acting heatherns though.

Spent much time in Birmingham? That place is every bit as shitty as NOLA, just with out any of the culture, character, and charm.

That is Nola's problem. Everyone wants to say, "just stay out the bad areas" Every day a new "bad area" is created. Everyone wants to just look away and act like nothing is wrong. You see it every day in every thread about NOLA on the OT.
Just in September, we found out that the corner of Bourbon and Canal should be avoided at all cost.

Think alot of crime and arrests happen around Bourbon St? Think it might have a little bit to do with the public drunkenness and the crap they allow?

Alcohol does contribute to crime, just as drugs do. Instead of feeding the hyperbole, how about looking up some stats and growing up a bit. You think the guy would have put his nutsack on the other if he had been sober? Like I said, perhaps if NOLA cracked down and wasn't into promoting such filth for the sake of $$ in their coffers, you wouldn't have near the crime and something like this happening. When it's no big deal for people to be passed out in eating joints and streets, there's going to be problems. Accept that cold hard fact and quit trying to be so over the top judgemental when you are excusing the main action that perpetuated the act to happen to begin with.

Impossible. Only places that serve alcohol and encourage you to have a good time have crime. :rollseyes:

1. Why would you want to spend time on that corner, anyway?
2. Other than there being no reason to be there, there is no reason to avoid the corner.

Yea alcohol fuels the fights and shite but the guys murdering each other aren't hanging out on Bourbon before shooting up each other. Millions of people come to NOLA for big events every year and get hammered. Yet somehow they don't rub their balls on passed out strangers faces. How about you grow up and stop defending someone just because they are an Alabama fan and admit this guy should take some responsibility. Again, you blaming the city for serving people alcohol is ridiculous.

It is not that you would want to spend time there, it is the #1 entrance to bourbon for most people. Not to mention, 15 feet away, is a very large hotel that is very popular amongst the conference crowd.
Someone was shot there at the end of September. All the NOLA apologists said you should never be there anyway.

Anyone have the pic of the bama fan taht pissed on himself?
funniest part about you asking that is I had to question "did I piss on myself? No, no. I didn't. I didn't, did I? No."
also the tea bagger guy and the camera man should go to jail everyone else around should just feel shame for not helping the poor guy
I feel bad for the guy that got punched but that's the risk you take on road trips and bowl games - I'm sure a Bama fan has cheap shotted an opposing fan before and will do so again

The crime on Bourbon is very minor portion of crime in the city. Also, public drunkeness is not tolerated outside of the touristy sections of the city. You know precious little about the crime of New Orleans and even less of about the causes.

He doesnt know shite about NOLA, but he's gotta defend that script A.

First off, I did that before I ever said anything else. Go back and read.

Where did I say anything about murder. I said crime. You don't think assaulting people and altercations are a crime?
quote:

But there are tons of fights and other criminal acts, due to their behavior while publicly intoxicated. And I'm sure there is a large criminal element that takes advantage of people in this condition also, robbery, theft, assault, rape... criminal database stats will bear this out if you care to take the time to look.

I said it's a large part of the problem. I said, when you have a city that allows the decadent behavior and celebrates lewdness, don't be so surprised when it happens. That city bases it's public perception on partying, lewdness and decadence. That's what it's going to get when it does that.

NOLA does not bring this on themselves
if a city allows a degree of freedom for people to enjoy themselves you can't then spit on that city by blaming them for the choices of a few jackasses who want to abuse the freedom they've been granted
