New Orleans Is The Perfect Example Of How To Ruin A City 

Yelled at you for walking through a bad neighborhood, first time I ever heard something like that.

@@decacards5250 Well, she lived there and knew it was unsafe. Pretty stupid in hindsight, it was before dawn too ...

The area near the Train Station is a pretty bad part of Downtown. I just stick to Magazine Street, and always feel perfectly fine, and nobody has ever bothered me.

@@justinbryson352 There's no doubt I was were I shouldn't have been. Just for the record, I've been to NO many times, and never had any trouble.

@@jonlouis2582 I love New Orleans, and I do not feel that it is a very dangerous place, just so I avoid the bad parts of the city, which I would never have any good reason to be at anyways. That area near the Train Station is near the Warehouse district, which I like to walk around in, but only in the day time. I think New Orleans is very beautiful, and a very unique, and very interesting city. Sad about the ugly parts, but there are many very nice parts of the city to walk through, where anyone should be perfectly safe, at most hours of the day.

Can you help me get a green card ? Help I want to immigrate

Our country has sold us out to the highest bidder.

I’ll choose Portland over New Orleans in a heart beat.

Some showed up in our little town. The guy thought he would jump someone waiting for gas! He is pushing up daisies! Lol 😅😅😅😅

Memphis? You live dangerously.

They weren’t refugees; they were U.S. citizens. My family suffered through Hurricane Katrina and some lost their homes.

How could an American be a refugee?

and everyone clapped nice story

They did similar stuff in other parts of Louisiana but got murked

LMAO 😂😂

Some say it's very deep in the vodo land .an ju ju . Ugh it does have bad vibes 🤧

@@peggypasson8794 Many people are unaware that voodoo was regularly practiced for centuries in some areas of NO. It's no wonder bad vibes are felt by so many. Countless books from every time period, every continent, and every religion have been written documenting areas of land where so much blood was spilled in the conjuring of evil spirits that the very land itself had become tainted with negative energy.

It's hotbed for witch-craft. One day people will realize that shits real

@@peggypasson8794 oh i just commented same thing and then saw your comment

@@Daniel-gn6xzi dont think voodoo is responsible for the mass scale poverty

For over 20 years, New Orleans was part of my territory. LOVED the people and the food. I drove around much of the city , parts reminded me of being in a 3rd world country

Third-worldness in the richest country on earth!

@@amazingdany Not what I saw!

Yes, you are so right; it looks just like one; I will never ever move back there. To be honest, growing up there kind of ruined my life. No opportunity and it's backwards as hell. The People there are so uneducated it's pathetic.

@@kennethbrownsher1264 Perhaps you should visit your eye care professional.

You can’t help people that won’t help themselves.

@@holdenc3082 Better paying jobs would be a good place to start.

@@iketheranter9126Yet they refuse to get better paying jobs.

@@Buttsmcgee069 criminals have always been around. These scored pretty good money that night. It's eventually dead end money but scoring thousands in a matter of 10 minutes is hard to beat with a burger flippin job, or any low wage job for that matter.

@@iketheranter9126 Why exactly are you making excuses for human refuse?

I suspect New Orleans always has been a shithole.

The black American ghetto mindset and culture is to blame. Rap music that espouses shooting at the police, beating women, using women as objects of sex, money at any cost, and violence raises these children to be thugs. And thugs they are!

Katrina was almost 20 years ago. And NO actually improved during the 2010s because the riff raff left due to the flooding. But now things are back to being terrible again.

Do you still use Katrina as an excuse? It’s been decades ago!!

Was Hurricane Ida like Katrina 2.0?

Did you used to police NO?

And the biggest factor is the breakdown of the family.

I've seen it all my life from the Heroin that tore whole communities apart into war zones to the cops protecting the drug dealers I've seen it all, nothing will ever change until we have severe punishment for drug dealers, WHAT is wrong with are politicians why won't they do there job..

Any criticism of the criminals? Or is it all victimisation?

@@charlesphilhower1452 It's certainly one of the key factors but I ask the question "Why?". Why do so many of these kids fall into the hands of gangs at such an early age? Why does a life that leads nowhere seem so appealing to them? Perhaps a stronger family unit would help some but you can't raise kids in a crime (and drug) infested environment and expect many of them to turn out well. Are these families torn apart because of lack of job opportunities or are their "other temptations" that wreck the relationships? I was raised in a mixed race mid-city neighborhood in New Orleans in the 60's and 70's and there was very little crime and almost none of the violent type that you see nowadays. The gang, drugs, guns culture that exists has to be halted with better educational opportunities, an effective criminal justice system, and better leadership at the highest levels of city government just to name a few. The disintegrating family unit(s) situation is a tragedy and is generational. Not sure how you can reverse that.

@@johnmule9419 Always a victim, when immature children have children there is no one to teach the children how to be responsible. Back in the 1980s I worked in child protective services and many of my clients were being raised by grandmothers in their thirties, that were slightly more mature than their teenage daughter that had the child. When you go back in the record the situation was the same when the grandmother was young, that she was raised by her grandmother. The fact is there are children that grow up in low income high crime areas that the parents insist that the children do not get involved with the nonsense on the street and insist that the children come directly home from school to avoid the nonsense. These are the children you don’t see or hear about. Many of these children grow up to be successful, because they were taught discipline when they were young and end up moving out of the hood. It is a hard way to grow but many that grow up that way are more determined to do well than many people that grew up in more privileged families.

Yeah they call it "snitchin" because no one is going to tell the police when they are criminals themselves.

That's crazy! My ex lives on the Westbank, and the post office made them get mailboxes in the curb.

Exactly. People in the comments have better solutions than her🙂

​@@blackdiamond696burnout and complacency is very real. 20 years of doing the exact same thing would make anyone sleepy in their job

@@DannyGruesome She wants to blame the criminal justice system for punishing criminals. She is part of the problem.

Look who is running the city. That’s the problem.

What did she or any of the government workers say that was wrong?

She knows exactly what are the problems my dear . She just isn’t going to say it for fear of any backlash. You know how everybody is ready to cancel everybody.

@@Anita_Minute one of the street scammers who threatened me was one of the shoe scammers in the French quarter. I already knew about the scam and refused to reply to the several guys that made comments, but one of them kept insisting on commenting on my shoes with an increasingly threatening tone and staring me down with a grimace. At first I was trying to pretend it didn’t phase me, but eventually it just felt too unsafe and I got out of the area. Who knew the shoe scam could get threatening? 😂

Uhhh real easy, I have a gris gris spell you can use next time you accosted by gutter punks or those lil bches asking about your shoes etc. Ok it's voodoo so don't tell anyone, here it is..... "GO FK YOURSELF" bam problem solved!

I was in NO right before COVID, like literally the week before it hit NO. That place was hella ghetto and I stayed in a nice hotel near the French Quarter. Even the French Quarter was sketchy as hell. I will NEVER go back to that hell hole.

Newsflash: the FQ is incredibly dangerous.

That, my friend, was a literal beer run!!!! Glad you made it!!!

Happy you made it but I'd Never try it...

You did it, you brave son of a B

😂

Fkn hell! I stressed out reading your story! Glad you still with us!!

Exactly. She is definitely part of the problem.

The black didn't bring up race because they never take accountability

You're actually part of the problem if you're denying what she stated about the white criminals go through programs while the black men get sentenced right off the top. I literally had this discussion the other day. Saw white dudes I personally knew growing up get in trouble many times for coke offenses, burglaries, etc and get these programs then land great jobs, record cleansed, while many of the black dudes I knew committed far less serious crimes one time and get a record automatically and could never land a job . Both of you guys on here are out of touch.

Clearly the woke white guilt is keeping her in her job. That mysterious white man getting off scott free was one versus how many non white crimes?

Hey Greg! Enjoy your FREEDOM!!

You’re words that NO cannot be saved are sad. No doubt as an insider, I’m sure you are telling the truth. It’s been a number of years since I’ve visited NO. I have family in Baton Rouge and we used to go to NO every time we visited. I loved it. The music, the food, the atmosphere. Even then my family told us not to interact with people that would approach us and we listened. Never had a problem. Not sure I’ll ever visit NO again and that’s sad.

As someone who was born ans raised in N.O. ill say this... The city can be saved. It's up to the people to make thar change. There is social resentment, a sense of hopeless, and anger that came from various things that have impacted the city long before Katrina. Once you fix those issues, things will turn around. I just know they won't happen in my lifetime.

@@joeywilson3 and your words, too, are sad.

You are right! We are lifelong native of south east Louisiana… bayou country. We all hate being lumped in with New Orleans as south Louisianan’s don’t we?! We don’t go there anymore and there are some things I miss, but it’s not worth the risk. Not even Saints games or restaurants.

Cool name and channel avatar, you ever going to make any RPG videos?

You're spot on. The median income in the city is only around $26K per year which comes to around $2,167 a month. But rents in New Orleans are around $1,400 a month. Outside the Garden District, Tulane University, the French Quarter and a few other neighborhoods, New Orleans has become one giant slum.

The entire state is depressing, and is the most corrupted state in America

@@alexanderchenf1 You're not wrong there. I'd rather take the fuckery going on here, than ever head to California, specifically San Francisco. We got some nut jobs in Louisiana, but I wouldn't set foot in San Francisco with how some things are, and I got family living out there. They left Louisiana to go live in SF to get away from the fuckery, only to deal with more fuckery.

@@DarkValentine1984 since they picked SF, they deserved the consequence of their decision. Thanks for the information.

@@alexanderchenf1 Of course. Anytime. Down here in Louisiana, we're an open carry state. You only need a permit if you plan on doing concealed carry. Cops out here in The Boot aren't going to say anything if you're using your weapon in self defense. Because since it takes cops forever to even show up anyway, folks take matters into their own hands. Just the other day, it took cops 16 hours to respond to an accident on the Twin Spans, and by the time the cops got there, they were upset that the person who was involved in the accident was already gone. Can't really blame folks down here in The Boot for being on the ready at all times, just in case. Pretty much non-existent in California. So yeah, we got a LOT of nut jobs in New Orleans, but those same nut jobs also know that 9 out of 10 people are packing, so they are always taking a big risk picking a mark.

It's the promise, or at least expectation, of free stuff for no return of effort on your part.

I remember Jack Ruby was a made Man in the Gambino family , he took his orders from Sam Giacanna , That ordered JFK assassination, then Sam was allowed to leave the country to Mexico , and remain there for several years after the murder,

Checks and balances. Old timey folks in Rhode Island used to say the same.

“The mafia kept the city safe” is such a bone headed statement.

@@BxArcadia I’m from there. It is a true statement.

Interesting comment and I think you're right. But nobody wants to credit the mob do they?

That sounds bad but it also kept mexico from getting 9 spots of top ten murder capitals in the world. NO is in the top 10 higher than rio capetown or kingston.

Most voters were satisfied with Mayor Latoya the Destroyer. The recall failed.

@@forestmcneir3325 Yes that just stunned me that the people of New Orleans were not chomping at the bit to recall that disaster La Toya the destroyer

I just can't believe they keep voting for their oppressors who do nothing but hold them back.

@@georgemichael9106 Breaks my heart! Lived in the metro for 38 years and still regard NOLA as home. Always will. Houston, where I was raised, and where I'm returned in 2016 is not as far along down the same road but the trend is not our friend.

Exactly. People in the comments have better solutions than her😉

None probably they wouldn't get welfare if the man is at home

Bingo!

Yeah…I’m pretty sure 90% conviction rates with little to no evidence (been there, seen it, had it happen to friends and family), government corruption, a failed school system, and no opportunity contributes heavily to fatherlessness and abject poverty, thus leading to more crime and ignorance. My cousin once told me “you gotta think. A lot of people have never left New Orleans. They’ve never been outside of it in their whole lives. They really think this is what the world is like.” Hearing that, I realize why there’s no hope there.

The mothers are paid to keep them away. The govt wants them to be dependent and keep voting blue

No and yea a lot of them our in abusive relationships and some women stay in the toxic home. Which it feels like the kid can do that to the women. I like how the women stated in the end of the video that majority of the women can get out of toxic relationships and their goal should be to learn how to be in a good one. Maybe having choosing a good partner will raise a good child.

Standing together on more important issues? We side with enemies of the cross? 1 John 2:22 Who is the liar, if it is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.

BLACK NOPD, BLACK MAYOR, BLACK DA, BLACK JUDGES, BLACK SHERIFF, BLACKS RUNNING THE CITY DOWN. Blacks are the problem! We got people calling in 911 & the dispatch Black Women TELL THE PERPS WHO CALLED ON THEM. Perps then hunt down the Victim they were called about in the first place ALL OF THIS IS BLACKS.

WOULD THOSE 3 'PEOPLE' WITH BATS HAVE BEEN BLACKS BY ANY STRETCH? BLACKS ARE THE PROBLEM. Why can't we say Blacks with Bats? I was chased by a Black with a Bat myself, running me down. BLACKS ARE EVERY CITY'S PROBLEM.

And women need to stop having children they can’t afford with men who are not going to be fathers.

Those are men. Those are Super Gremlins. 😂

Yes and couple that with women not laying down with men who are crap to begin with and we wouldn't have this problem. Why sleep with men who you know are shity and most likely aware that they ha e other children they are not taking care of?

If the women would keep their legs closed there wouldn't be babydadies.

Corrupt government became apparent during Katrina.

Yup, their job probably pivots on the fact that the people keep acting the same and dont really change.

They just talk in circles and say nothing. Nothing will work but the National Guard sweeping up all the criminals and locking them up for good. Those women get paid for do nothing jobs but still want more funding.

That may be part of the problem, but then again as Nick says in the video, Louisiana has the highest or second highest incarceration rate out of any Western democracy. We are really good at locking people up in this country, yet our urban areas continue to be dangerous and have been for years. It's mostly a cultural phenomenon that is uniquely American. We have all got to do better...

They need wrecking balls and bulldozers. I'll say it.

You mean that they did have rates like that.

Gentrification is the only answer

yea look at the homeless problem in California. shit tons of money. where does it go? Rogan said they have a bunch of people making over $250k/year on homeless commitees. how do I get that job

There will never be a white mayor . Figure it out.

United States not america

100% right

There would be a dispute over score keeping and they would start shooting each other 😢

Unrealistic

@@realist8967 Oh, I don’t know. I didn’t have anything particular exciting to entertain myself as a kid but found plenty to do outside without being a criminal.

Ridiculous excuses they’re making. The kids aren’t criminals because there’s no skating rink. They need the National Guard, long prison sentences and some gentrification.

Parents that are absent.

It used to be that if you came from a bad home, the schools would teach you how to have a better life, now they don't. They just miseducate and uneducate the kids.

When will y’all see that the gov created these conditions thru redlining, drugs, and poverty!!

Bull. Shit. Federal money going into wars and banks instead of schools and neighborhoods is the reason.

Kids not being taught anything

I know this isn’t the politically correct thing to say but think of the demographics. I used to live there and so glad I moved away.

Agreed. I was poor as a child and did many odd-jobs for an income, not robbing people etc.

WAYYYYYYY to many kids dropping out of school down here in Louisiana and I met plenty of them.

@@dave0z96 Louisiana has been Republican run for many years. The state is perennially one of the poorest and least educated in the country and they also have a lot of crooked politicians and infrastructure.

They are part of the problem.

Danny and Clyde's?

"In 2014" is key, that's almost a decade ago. The city has become much more of a shithole since then.

And ain't it funny that BLACKS RUN THE PD. Black mayor. Black DA. Black judges. The problem is TOO MANY BLACKS. Blacks are always the problem. BLACK TEEN KIDS PULLED OFF A WHITE ELDERLY WOMANS ARM when they carjacked her, just ripped off her arm, she bled to death in the street. BLACK TEENS DID THAT. And All we hear is POOR BLACKS, NO OPPORTUNITY, its all BULLSHIT. Blacks have had every opportunity & the only thing Blacks do is get worse. BLACK BASTARD KIDS ARE KILLERS and somehow its everybody elses problem. BLACKS ARE THE PROBLEM.

Yeah isn't it funny how people refuse to point that out initially when being interviewed. It's almost like all of us regular folk have to point it out for them. The lack of fathers in homes is unbelievably catastrophic to youth of both genders.

@@whirlwind6141true like we could talk about poverty and crime and while those are certainly issues even if you look at kids from poor families with BOTH parents still have better outcomes than poor kids from single moms. Yes, when it comes to girls, females who come from single moms tend to be more promiscuous leading them to possibly become pregnant as a teen or just from a guy who leaves just like HER dad did. As for the boys, males who come from single mothers are far more likely to get into both drugs AND crime. It’s disastrous for both sexes.

Im from NOLA and sadly this is one of major issues-fatherless homes & waiting for government handouts. Its like people here just think that living like this is normal & just how things are. It wasn’t until I lived with my dad in Dallas that my eyes opened

I know one thing, I don't know about other states, but NJ you can't survive on government assistance, you better have another hustle. I use to tell my former co-workers, its no reason getting upset about people on welfare, the government just take 10 cent out your check, every pay period. The big deduction, goes to the defense fund. PEACE 7

Well said. My thoughts exactly 💯

Will they ever admit to this? Nope.

Truth!

It is not a political war, it is a spiritual one. GOOD vs. EVIL. Once our traditions and values align with God's, then everything will all fall into place. This is beyond conservatism being able to help. We need to return to the source. We are in desperate need of a Great Awakening.

Everyone is effed up, not just the Blacks...

It makes you wonder sometimes because I think New Orleans got a lot of money after the hurricane are the politicians pocketing the money set aside for community development?

literally

Still run into people who tell me not to go to New Orleans...

Tbh the US is young country you guys need a few more civil wars and revolutions

I will respectfully disagree. The cities you mention are predominantly French-speaking and French culture is very much alive. In New Orleans, hardly anyone speaks French and apart from a few neighborhoods like the FQ and maybe in its cuisine, French culture is not prevalent. Even the FQ is not that French; the neighborhood you see today was actually built by the Spanish when they occupied Louisiana after the original city was destroyed by a fire in 1794. The iron balconies you see in many apartments will remind you of a village in Andalusia more than anyplace in France.

Nope, gotta remove the blacks for that to happen.

@@georgfriedrichhandel4390 They rooted out the French speaking people and replaced it with Dixie redneck culture
