This happened about 40 yards from my store front about 20 minutes after I had left that exact parkinglot.

Damn, the only place left to watch a movie is at home.

Sounds like a bunch of little cowards trying to make a name for themselves. Had my 5yo at rave yesterday, just makes you think.

What are those signs made with their fingers, "have 2 maybe 4 years left"?

 

[BillnLA]

Education level?

A friend of ours was at BJ's when that happened. They had to go out the side door to leave.

about 20 minutes after I had left

Or so you would have us all believe.

 

[troy_mclure]

we almost stopped to watch a movie and cruise the mall.

 

[LongGoneDays]

Holy crap. Remember that bank robbery sometime around 2005 where the big dude robbed a bank with a long barreled chrome .44 mag?

Now your on the right trrack:}

Buckskin "Bill BlacK" was noted for his statement Baton Rouge needs a zoo..... Little did he know that 40+ years after his crusade it truly came true Baton Roach is a zoo. Notice the picture of a rifle in the background.....

Baton Rouge is now a "Ghettopolis" and it pains me to acknowledge the OBVIOUS. There are too many little ghettoes sprinkled around the city on top of Eden Park, Scotlandville, "The Bottom", Zion City, etc.

I restrict myself to Town Center and LSU's campus but nowhere is ever "safe". It *APPEARS* to me that the crime rate is "greater" than that was in Detroit. Well, probably not but I'm emotionally attached to BTR...

lol +1

Heard they identified one of the weapon as a S&W revolver lol

It was a 686 so I should be in the clear

BR is NOTHING like Detroit. The comparison is absurd.

I dont think Baton Rouge is all that bad. We dont go the "da hoods" except when we go to Tony's but they have off duty sheriff's there too. Hell I have sent my wife there after dark and never worried. And no she does not carry.

I worry more about her going to Livingston Parish with all the white trash meth heads.

That was a freaking mess, too many unsupervised hoodlums running around. Theater had to shut down, I was on crowd control out there for 3 hours.

So that whole not leaving kids without supervision isn't working out, then?

It did for awhile, they need to go back to enforcing that. It was NICE at the movies without all those kids, and the theater actually made more money,even though there were less people inside the auditoriums.

 

[spanky]

So they stopped enforcing it?

Spent 16 yrs there... I feel safer in Detroit Metro.

Baton Rouge is not that bad. Crime is up because population has gone way up after Katrina. More people more crime that's all.

There has always been sketchy people that hang out at Perkins Rowe and i agree that they need to enforce that rule again. I was walking back to my car after a movie with my girlfriend a year or so ago and as i rounded the corner a kid standing in the dark asked if i wanted pills. Who in there right mind just goes around asking strangers or does that sort of thing. The mall and Perkins Rowe have gotten so bad in the past year.
