PrtyPSux 0 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Ok I'm going to write a more detailed version in the morning but right now I lcant. So, I'm walking by the hotel I'm staying at and as I Walk into the hotel I get asked If any transactions have gone through.:ater that night Im walkting down burboun st and I all of a sudden feel something sharp and metallic behind my head, I turn around and the dude (a black guy with corn roles) points the gun right to my head he says something like "give me the wallet" or "let me see the wallet" so I give it to him and run, I'm fairly sure he shoots and misses.I called the police and like typical corupt cops they said "Let me look into it" They investigated my table)sorry, by "my table I mean my report" for about 3 miles but never asked them their ssc # or their ID. I was stopped at a gas station as I was running for my life, the cop stops and says " where did you get robbbed" I'm fairly new to New Orleans so when I started to explain he said " tell us tomorrow" I guess he meant when he was sober, but I was right now, At least enough to stop playing in N.O. ..sigh* this has prbably been the most horryfing experience of my life, but I got past it, without any scratches, the immigration officer's were idiots and they will remain to be until something changes (edit, I had to deal with them too because I had my passaport on me).

playingtowin 0 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 not sure man, I just ****ing ran...the cops didnt believe me either.. sinceI had been drinking they chose not to press charges.Chose not to press charges?? You mean the cops chose not to take your report seriously and investigate?Casino areas are dangerous places. I got robbed at gun and knifepoint by 3 16 year old gang-bangers right across the street from the Bicycle in L.A. a few years back. When I told the security at the Bicycle Casino what happened, they just ignored me basically and went inside. I called 9-11 on my own and the operator told me to give a detailed description of the suspects and I did and it just happened that they tried to rob a taxi driver afterwards so they got caught because taxis have some sophisticated tracking systems when the drivers report that they are being robbed. Glad to hear you are alright prtypsux. Stay off the streets of bad neighborhoods when no one is around. And since you from the L.A. area, u know a lot of cops are corrupt. We just gotta deal with em.

GamblinLeaf 0 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Glad you're ok, man. Never been mugged before so I can't even imagine.A buddy of mine who was deployed for a year in Iraq partied for a couple of nights in N.O. before he left. He said there were times when he felt safer in Baghdad than he did in the Big Easy.Of course, he had body armor, an MP-5 and an up-armored Humvee with a 50-cal mounted to the roof while he was in Baghdad ... sounds like you might need that in N.O. these days too.
