The ridiculous violence in N.O.

This is probably going to be a VERY unpopular post but its just how I feel.

I don't go into the city, the only time you will find me in the city of New Orleans is:

1. Brothers friend can't make a home saints game and I end up with his ticket for the game, bro and I go together to catch the game. I caught the Bears game last season.

2. Special occasion, fathers birthday we went to the D.Day museum which was amazing and ate at superior grill after.

I am never going into the City of New Orleans just for the sake of going, it is too dangerous, crime is out of control at all hours of the day. I want the city to do well, don't get me wrong, I don't wish any ill-will but I rather stay out of the place unless a special occasion comes along.

Most of my friends range from early to late 30's and guess what? most of them have moved out to the Folsom area to get away from the madness that is New Orleans and the surrounding areas. I don't need to go get blasted drunk in the french quarter when I can go walk 5 minutes up the road to a bar in my neighborhood and get smashed knowing there is a 95% chance I won't have any negative run ins with people.

I used to walk at night in old metairie during my 199lb weight loss and I would get stopped by cops despite walking in well-lit areas and carrying a jug of water. One time I got finger printed because it just happened to be a night where I left my I.D at home when the cops stopped me. I see why people are moving away at an alarming rate now, it is getting to the point where it's just not worth putting up with anymore.
