re: National Championship Nightmare: Alabama Fan Attacked

I am in no way an apologist for anything that happens in this city. I just don't agree with people who don't live here or are from here bashing the city without having their facts straight. You make everything seem as is this is Beruit or something. Of course isolated incidents happen from time-to-time in the French Quarter. The mugging and death of the doctor who was on a bachelor party was unfortunate. However most of the crime and murders that occur in this city are isloated to high-crime areas where drug traffic is widespread. The shooting you speak in great detail of that occured on the corner of Bourbon and Canal was by some thugs who got into a heated exchange with another group of people. If you stay in the parts of this city, much like your city, where one should be you will be fine.
