Re: Mike and Mike blast the city of New Orleans
 

I can understand what they're feeling and what they felt. I am a born and raised New Orleanian. Since my childhood, our house has been robbed 4 times, I've been mugged on the street twice, I've been shot at, my car has been broken into twice, my friend has been held at gun point and put in his trunk... and this is just off the top of my head. I really don't have an issue with anything they've said. While New Orleans is my home, in the back of my mind, I'm always a little weary when I go out.

I'm not going to pretend I've been trying to move out this place for quite a while now. I'd like to take my kids out and about and not have any worries about them being safe. I love being close to the water, I love the city, I love atmosphere and culture... however the ignorant people, not so much.

That's real Papz.

Re: Mike and Mike blast the city of New Orleans
 

That's harsh. I think it's all about where you live in the city. There are safer places, there's the Northshore. But that's for real what you wrote, and I feel for you man.

These clowns are talking about tourist places, in the Quarters, in places with nice restaurants. There's petty crime in ANY tourist districts everywhere. Can't stop the purse snatchers, period.

Personally, I hope they snatch the purse and make-up case of BOTH Mikes next time they're here in the city!

I live in a relatively safe area, a suburb of Kansas City on the Kansas side but I am always wary. My grandkids laugh at me when I tell them they can't play outside unless I am there with them...but I refuse to take a chance with their safety. Crazy people and criminals are everywhere!

My home, in the country where we used to live, was broken in to twice - the seconds time they shot my lovebirds before stealing everything of value we had! My husband has his concealed carry permit and he has a gun in his truck at all times, we both legally own guns and we know how to use them and will if necessary.

You can't be too careful no matter where you are! It's not just New Orleans folks.

I am calling Bovine Scatology on Mike's 'story'. I am fairly certain that there was an army of people, ESPN techs, other network people, etc. around.

The SuperDome re-opened in September of '06, it is almost October of '13; I have never heard this 'story' before.

I don't doubt his goofy a$$ probably left the hotel to go to Starbucks and didn't know where the hell he was going and got lost.

Re: Mike and Mike blast the city of New Orleans
 

You do have to be smart of where your at and where to go, but at the same time , a couple of buddies and I were approached by a dude and he was raising hell b**ching at us about the color clothes we were wearing down that street....we were down Canal St. at about 3:00 in the afternoon. We just ignored him and kept on going and eventually he just walked away. I'm assuming he was either setting us up, f***ed up,or a retard.
Overall, I'm not to concerned when I go there, but I do keep my eyes open.

A lot of new "Bloods" in New Orleans ever since Lil' Wayne became a mega star...

Re: Mike and Mike blast the city of New Orleans
 

From someone that has traveled a bit, New Orleans is not a stand out city. I've been held up at knife point by Turks in a German subway, seen a buddy's jaw broken because we were robbed in a restaurant by gunpoint in Lagos Nigeria because he only had a cheap phone..... My sister teaches 7th grade in Vermillion Parish; in two years she has had two black eyes by girls, had a student arrested for choking his little brother to death and presently has 3 in her class in ankle bracelets. The Houston news every morning has at least 3 murders.... 3 were killed at a car wash yesterday.... Last week 2 were killed during car jackings.


I am a white American male.... I know where I shouldn't be at what times, and where I shouldn't be ever. I understand the dangers in major cities and not trying to take anything away from everyone's life experiences.... That said, those a-holes on the radio were out of line.
