Who is the guy that runs back at 2:06? One of the robbers seeing if they left something behind? Or checking to see if the dude was still alive?

that must have been off the beaten path. 10:50pm and almost no traffic isnt the heart of the french quarter. Never get off the boat, man.

Used to love going to Bourbon Street for a weekend of partying.
Even pre-Katrina it was advised to stay on Bourbon Street proper after dark. Even during the day you encountered a few sketchy characters if you got too far off the beaten path. Now I hear that Bourbon Street itself isn't even necessarily safe anytime after dark. Another place on my list to not visit anymore. |

They were probably in a heated debate regarding Apple vs. other technologies, and didn't realize someone was running up behind them.

Last trip there I saw a shooting on Canal basically right in front of The Ritz. It's pretty much the main thoroughfare down from I 10. On or off the beaten path doesn't matter much in NOLA. |

Someone needs to post a link the street robberies and you thread.
Something very similar almost happened to me a few years back. The three guys (fourth guy stayed in the car driving by) ran up on me and put me on the ground. Didn't hit me or anything, but one did hold a revolver to the back of my head while the others emptied my pockets. I was walking a couple blocks unarmed since I had been in a bar. Changed my views on the efficacy of those laws. They are all in prison now, but it could have been real bad for me. |

I've lived here all my life, and I rarely go into New Orleans any more. I don't understand the draw that young hipsters have for it. I hope the young guy recovers. That looked real bad.

NOPD is a third world police force so there's literally no hope of anything improving any time soon. If there was ever a case study for a police department that needs to be under federal consent decree and constant monitoring, NOPD is it. Things seemed a little better when the state police were "supervising" NOPD, but that didn't last long. When I'm there at night I stay on Bourbon between Iberville and St. Ann with an occasional walk down to The Blacksmith Shop (Bourbon and St. Phillip). It's well lit and patrolled. I love NOLA and have had a lot of very good times there, but it takes a bit of common sense and awareness. |

True. At least they *might* have had a chance to make a run for it if they look at their six though. At very least dude wouldn't have got surprised punched and face planted, but with 4 on 2 like you said, they'd be on the ground eventually. I've met plenty of guys that could swing the 4 on 2 and likely win... but the victims in this video don't appear to be "those" kinds of guys. The muggers looked pretty experienced... |

Among other things, it would be illegal for them to do so under LA law and our home rule charter. They couldn't even give out traffic tickets in our city if we didn't give them permission.) |
