    NOPD reported eight robberies within 24 hours, including two in the same 7th Ward block within an hour.
    The robberies, which occurred from Saturday morning (June 2) to Sunday morning, bring the weekly total to 30, per NOPD records.
    Here are the incidents reported in the latest tally, included in a preliminary report of major incidents released by the police department Sunday:

    Hollygrove: Around 7:15 a.m. in the 8900 block of Pear Street, a 40-year-old man was approached by two unknown men, one of whom pulled out a gun and demanded money. The 40-year-old complied, but then heard a gunshot. EMS transported the man to a local hospital. It was not clear if he was struck by the gunshot. NOPD did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Algiers: Around 5:20 p.m. in the 1600 block of Newton Street, a 60-year-old woman was approached from behind by an unknown man. The man grabbed the woman and took her cell phone and cash from her pocket, before fleeing in a car.

    Freret: Around 5:48 p.m., two men started arguing over what a witnessed later called "a stupid drug thing" and that NOPD classified as an armed robbery. One man produced a gun and shot a 29-year-old man before fleeing in an unknown direction. The injured was transported by EMS to a local hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest. His condition Sunday was not known.

    Gentilly: Around 6:36 p.m., a 33-year-old man exited a store in the 3700 block of Clematis Street and approached a vehicle police said he was waiting for. Three armed men exited the vehicle and demanded the man's property. They fled with his cellphone, $40 and a bottle of pills.

    Milan: Around 6:51 p.m., a 37-year-old man was exiting his car in the 2900 block of Amelia Street when two men approached him. One of the men, armed with a handgun, demanded the man's property. The man threw his keys to the ground and ran away, while the two robbers sped off in his car.

    Riverside: Minutes before midnight near the intersection of Tchoupitoulas and General Taylor, a 34-year-old man was sitting at a bus stop when a man pointed a gun at his chest and demanded his property. The armed robber fled with the victim's clothing, shoes, wallet, keys and cell phone.

    7th Ward: Around 3:33 a.m., two women ages 24 and 35 were approached by three unknown men on the 1600 block of Elysian Fields Avenue. One of the men brandished a silver semi-automatic weapon and demanded the women's purses. The women complied and the men fled to the rear of a nearby CVS.

    An hour later in the same block, a 22-year-old man was standing outside his car and talking to two men. One of the men pulled out a black handgun and demanded the 22-year-old get on the ground. The two men then fled in the 22-year-old's car. NOPD did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether the two robberies were connected.

    We had a dozen shootings and several deaths from them this weekend here in Shreveport. Someone gets shot here pretty much daily and theft is EVERYWHERE. LOTS of car break ins and car theft is high as well.

    We are on the path to being just like California. Jerry Brown says his state is the role model for future states and I believe he said they are 15 years ahead of other states. :doh:

    When I did bids down there or worked in New Orleans. I would routinely state Thies job is on Extra Magazine Street. The new gal in the office said where is that?

    I never cross the parish line if I can help it. Last few times it was to go to a place on Urquhart St.

    The vitriol here on New Orleans is pretty pathetic. Sure the city has its problems, but that city has quite a bit to offer that NO other city in this state can match.

    As far as Phil Anselmo..... Sure Pantera was great, but who is going to take anything he says seriously?

    Please, share why its misplaced, misguided, or unfitting.
    We will agree on one thing. NOLA certainly has one thing that no other LA city has to offer... hours long response times from the PD.
    The city could be a nice place, but its not. And it no longer matters where you plan to venture, simple existing in the city equates to being at a higher probability of bad **** happening to you.

    What's not to like? The city is dirty, dangerous and smelly. The alleged protectors (Not Our Problem Dude) make their own rules and do as they please. The criminal class is brazen, soulless and vicious and most importantly, ubiqitous. There's virtually no place in the parish that is safe. Yea, lots to offer, great city.

    New Orleans is **** city. My boss at work is a gun control liberal, and I’ve gotten into it with him a few times telling him, if he is sending me into Orleans parish to work for the day, I’m carrying a pistol. If he don’t like it, he can fire me. Almost a year later, I still have a job, and work in Orleans parish on a regular basis. **** the city of New Orleans and everything it has to offer... as said above... dirty, foul smelling, full of crime with a PD that’s first off crooked as ****, and second, severely undermanned and unable to handle the issues the city has..

    Tell us how you really feel. LOL! The whole state is ****ed, not just the city. And I'm pretty sure the state police is crooked, or at least that's what I have seen on the news with all this pencil whipped over time for programs like LACE.

    Remove the animals from the zoo. By animals, I talking about the ones at the Audubon Institute. Move the WW2 museum. Then!
