Vegas is a city that allows as much if not more than NOLA, if it was alcohol alone their crime would be much higher "per square mile".
ETA: their crime would be as high, prob not much higher.

Baton Rouge DA / Bham Defense Attorney / Fbaum comment on LSU fan assault
quote:
I'm talking about the people robbing others, murders etc. That's what makes up most NOLA's crime rate
National median for crime in the U.S. is 41.8 crimes per square mile. For NOLA, it's 96 crimes per square mile. There are alot of other cities with as large or larger tourism attractions that don't have as high a rate as NOLA. Why do you think that is?
Beecause Orleans Parish and New Orleans does not have a huge population (about 300-350,000 in the city limits).
But 99.99999 of the murders and violent crimes are being committed by and on:
15-45 year old African American men in the inner city crack house and N.O. east areas. SIXTY FOUR PERCENT of the 2011 murder victims HAD A CRIMINAL RECORD. Most of these are drug-related and/or
'revenge' or stem from previous altercations or as simple as insults. This small segment of the population just don't care about anything or anybody.
But they have NOTHING to do with the other 95% of the city's population that are law-abiding, black and white (post Katrina N.O. - within the city limits itself is now 55% black and 45% white.)
The other 8 metro area parishes which have a population of ONE MILLION people, have an astronomically low crime and murder rate, as do MOST AREAS of the city itself (downtown, uptown, French Quarter - 8 murders last year), mid city, fauborg marigny, bywater, garden district, gentilly, broadmoor, lakeview, lake vista, etc.)
What Mayor Mitch Landrieu has to get a handle on is the inner city and central city and some N.O. East crack house and project areas....

No, you make that assumption. I've looked the statistics over and researched. Maybe you should do the same, instead of making uneducated remarks.

Vegas doesn't allow near the crap NOLA does.

Criminals don't stop at Canal and Bourbon St. They prey on the tourists, and the drunken idiots. No argument yall have offered has countered with the sleaze that NOLA allows. If the city cleaned up, that would fix alot of problems. Instead, they celebrate the debauchery and with the everything allowed atmosphere, you're going to get the worse with it.

I'm not making an assumption and I would bet I have spent more time looking and studying criminal statistics than you have.
For example, OKC is the 3rd largest city in the US if you go by it's "size" as in square miles considered to be the city. If you don't understand how that can skew statistics, you are a hopeless retard.

And I said he deserves what will be coming. Having said that, do you think something like that would happen if NOLA didn't allow the things they allow to go on?

Since you're an authority on the matter, please elaborate on the crime on that intersection. Surely, you can provide facts behind such strong assertions.

It's clear you're going to argue that there is no crime on Bourbon or the French Qtr, and if there is, it's not by any locals. Providing you with data searches from the FBI crime database, isn't going to dissuade you, so carry on with your ignorance and blindly believe that NOLA isn't partially to blame for the crime in it's own city, but that it is of simple visitors who suddenly can't control themselves.

It may be just me, but I never thought that sack dragging had the potential to become a widespread crime. Apparently, it does. 
Posted on 1/17/12 at 10:06 am to Alahunter
Noone is saying that. The residents here are def to blame, ESP the violent crime. My point is said residents aren't committing crime because NOLA allows them to get hammered. These people are uneducated, well below the poverty line etc. You can blame all that on us, but not our drinking laws.

Drunkenness lessens judgement. A shitton of crimes are committed because of drunkenness. If NOLA didn't allow such public drunkenness, it would eliminate alot of the things, like that balldragging and probably alot of altercations as well. Maybe a few violent sexual crimes as well.

You have poor reading comprehension, right? Your saying that the reason we have crime is because of the way people act in a drinking district. I'm saying that the crime that occurs there pales in comparison to the rest of the city.

Do you not recall the stand up guy leaving a bachelor party being gunned down near there? Or back in September another being shot at that corner?

The overwhelming majority of crime in NOLA is not committed by drunk people.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't their a huge topic on OT not too many mounths ago about the huge project in the French Quarter right behind Bourbon street which seems to directly fuel the criminal activities that seems to be on the rise in the french quarter?
I know there has been some heated debate on what to do with this project, obviously many NOLA residents would like it bulldozed. but due to the policital nature, such a move will probably never happen.
