What is the mental motivation of the Internet troll?

I really don't understand. I just don't .

Killing- Pre Katrina you had organized street gangs that were drug dealing and robbing people, etc, etc, but after the hurricane what happened was they evacuated the city and a lot of people in lower income areas were bused to neighboring cities like BR, Lafayette, and as far as Houston.

In my opinion it is now very disorganized. For instance, you have ten people that have been shot in the last month on Bourbon St, majority of which were tourists. Now of course street gangs are sitting on these corners selling dope because when tourists come down here they have the mentality that "it's the big easy, and anything goes, Mardi Gras every day!

Now the people that did these shootings weren't part of any OC group or highly sophisticated street gang like MS13 or some of the Chicago and NY street gangs. This is idiot #1 shooting at idiot #2 over a street corner that neither of them can afford to live on (The French Quarter is a very expensive place to "live" IE have a house and stay there 365 a year). So in a traditional turf sense, they are shooting over random street corners that happen to have the busiest bars that particular night of the week. The sad thing about all of this is some poor guy from Iowa who wanted to party ends up getting shot in his ass on Bourbon because people are fighting over which street corner they can sell dope on and not realizing its NOLA, people come down here to get wasted anyways so it doesn't matter where you stand, trust me they will find you if they want to get high!

And of course we run into this "Nola Family is still alive" by probably the biggest pretenders in the country. There are rumors that this pretend family made billions off of the rebuilding of Nola after Katrina. Problem with this argument is that anyone that you meet that claims "to be in the know" can not name one person involved in any of these financial scams. There are guys in NY getting busted all the time for crimes less than this and I refuse to believe there is something in the water down here that makes the Pretend Fairy Nola Family a million times smarter than NY.

I was reading about Telly hankton and his gang he seemed to be running a large scale enterprise well after katrina. http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2012/10/telly_hankton_network_targeted.html

Call it what you want, it seems to me that at the very least a crew is still active in NOLA.

Lol, what the hell were those NOLA guys thinking? Who tools around in a "work car", let alone drives it to their house? That may be why only a crew is left.

Of course, that news report did not identify them as "made LCN guys" but referenced "crime families" from their prior busts. I am consistently amazed at the media fear to report someone as LCN. Just claim "allegedly" or something. How many LCN guys have sued newspapers for libel and won for false / incorrect reports of their LCN membership?

That van reminds me of the one used in the Miami Dadeland Mall shootings - believed to have been ordered by Griselda Blanco as part of the cocaine wars. I think the Miami van was reinforced with steel plates to provide armor.

Thanks for the info LaLou!
I didn't know there were now also tourists being shot. I guess the statements that claim NO is entirely safe for visitors and that the high murder rate can only be attributed to drug dealers shooting each other can go down the drain as well

If you want to call a 70 year old driver and a 55 year old guy a "crew" that are probably independent operators, hey go Ape shit man, I'm not gonna argue with you.

I know what you mean. I just find it funny someone would believe ANY statement that NOLA and Bourbon St. is "perfectly safe" for any tourist. You keep all your shit in your front pockets and you don't roam off Bourbon at all. You will and can get pick pocketed then robbed if you turn up the wrong corner. Just a fact of life for any color, but yes it happens more to the white folks that don't know anything about NOLA in general.

What the heck did you just flipping say about me, you big meanie? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Tiny Tots Program, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on the girl's bathroom, and I have over 300 confirmed noogies. I am trained in Nerf warfare and I have the most gold stars in the entire kindergarten class. You are nothing to me but just another butthead. I will beat you the heck up with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth
