New Orleans has hit an all time low.....

John_ · May 14, 2017

A group of bicyclists doing their 60 mile ride thru NO. Riding on Bullard Ave @ 1015, gets shot in the lower left side, probably a .22.

Just an arbitrary shooting of a cyclist (white) in broad day light, for no real reason. In the article the guy shot states the NOPD hasn't even returned contact to him......gotta love the NOPD (read overwhelmed and many don't give a crap) and the N.O. natives. First time i ever heard of picking off cyclists in day light for kicks. Follow the link below and there is video from another rider just behind of the moment he gets shot.

My home town long ago, they can have it. Mitch, the natives, monument less, giant potholes, ridiculous property taxes post Katrina.

Yet another reason to stay away .
Other than the WW2 museum I will never spend another red cent in that cesspool.

I agree with you there. The only reason I would go there now would be to the WW2 museum. Otherwise, I have no interests in going there at all.

Probably one of those evil racist confederate monument that shot him.

Yeah, we all know when those heinous monuments are finally all down and warehoused, all will be well with New Orleans. The almost daily murderous shootings will cease, and the natives will be content in their hearts forever.

This will start happening more and more, just pick a random whitey to even the score! is the way they think

Never felt very safe when in the city and now it is validated. Have not lost anything there so I will stay out.

Don't put yourself in these situations and you won't have any trouble. I don't care if you're in New Orleans, Baton Rouge or any where else. I wouldn't drive around that area in my truck.

You don't think this would happen on Florida Blvd in Baton Rouge?

MALIBU12 · May 14, 2017

Gun Trucks , that is all .

I don't really frequent NO or BR anymore, unless I absolutely have to. Its not the same everywhere, that's the lame excuse many who live in NO use. Post me a link to the last news report of a bicyclist shot while riding in NO during broad day light.

The crime problem is epic in NO these days. There was a recent article on NOLA that the NOPD homocide dept is overwhelmed and de-moralized. have solved < 25% of the homocides in NO in 2017. Response times from the NOPD are measured in hours, sometimes days. They have been finding bodies/victims in the East lately a couple a week. No doubt BR has its problems, but it isn't NO for sure.

Wherever you have large volumes of natives living, so comes the violent crime, stealing, robberies, and more. NO's problems are not going to get better any time soon, just watch. Only thing that can substantially impact NO's violent crime is armed National Guard troops, locked and loaded, patrolling 24/7. (think post Katrina)

Mitch should take down Robert E Lee and replace with a statue of Alton Sterling, their current hero. Great idea to me, the Alton Sterling Memorial Circle

Ya wanna see the long term future of NO, look to Chicago or Detroit.

Here's the article on the NOPD homocide dept in case ya missed it. http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2017/04/we_are_completely_broken_nopd.html

I no longer feel bad for anyone attacked in that city.

I've gotta agree with you, although there is a bar just across the parish line that I frequent. Now that some of the statues have been removed, the crime rate should be going down.

The dude on the bike looked a little like Robert E. Lee on his horse.
Besides he's out there flaunting his white privilege by riding a high dollar bike.
He needed shooting.

Not really, Poor Bastard, Sucks to be shot in the back by Yellow Belly's!

John_ · May 14, 2017

Shooting at the lakefront today. The natives were barbecuing together, then it got heated, and one dude shot the other. Imagine that!

So as an avid cyclist, what would go better with my spandex, AR pistol or AK with folded buttstock? Slung or bike mounted? :rofl:

Why limit yourself to 1 or the other? Go with both. 1 slung and the other bike mounted!
