[BITList] more trad jazz n homicides

the french quarter is not without its dangers.
I would guess that about 20% of the homicides occur in the quarter; some are simply vicious robberies and quite a few are the results of fights!
once night falls and drinks flow, the quarter can become a danger zone – especially a few yards off the beaten track.

Already America's unquestioned murder capital, New Orleans saw homicides jump by 14 percent last year, ending the year with 199 killings. For the previous three years, the murder rate in New Orleans had stabilized at around 175 killings a year. Even that number was a staggering amount that gave New Orleans the highest per-capita murder rate in the country by a comfortable margin. The uptick this year will likely place New Orleans far ahead of other cities with serious crime and homicide problems.
