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 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!

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
