Why I Can’t Stand Going To Baton Rouge, Louisiana 🤦

This town is ALWAYS a problem ..

[FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

The murder rate in Baton Rouge is 31.72 per 100, 000 making it the 6th most deadly city in USA. Thats not a statistic you can make up.. who on earth wants to have their family in just a hateful and dangerous place? Shame on you for even being there… if you where halfway decent you would get your family out of there.

Baton Rouge native here and I have to disagree with you. And just watching the first few minutes of this video you have repeated yourself about why you hate this city, but didn't really give any reasons. The Baton Rouge natives are some of thr nicest people you will meet. Southern hospitality is a thing, we aren't arrogant. Screaming at you at the gas station... never had that happen. Yes, we have bad drivers but most cities have bad drivers.

French influence causing Baton Rouge’s arrogance?? Lmao

[Baloneyious_Monk]

Living here for 20 years and feeling stuck I can tell you it comes from old money and LSU ... that's where the culture of arrogance originated in my opinion. It is so damn toxic.

[lefty]

If you hate it that bad then stay out of our state.

[Jlawson]

There's people like that everywhere dude, like Miami. I had to turn this one off at about 5 minutes, I kept hearing the same rambling over and over and over and over and over. You definitely sound like somebody who would get on my nerves.

I'm from Baton Rouge (and I've been to France). I'll take France, any day. Agreed, most of the cops, here, are dirty. I'm sure you've noticed about 4 out of 5 billboards are attorneys. Attorneys run this city and all the cities surrounding it. The idea here is "It's legal if nobody stops us". The extended stay hotels are full because it's actually cheaper than trying to rent a place. What's more, these big apartment complexes could basically do whatever they want. Last year, a bunch of them increased the rent by over 20%. Fortunately, I could afford that, but many couldn't. My apartment wanted me to sign a new lease when they found out I was house shopping. When I didn't, they labeled me as "evicted", even though I moved out (illegal). They went to the JOP without me being properly serviced or even notified (illegal). Then, they accelerated the rent by two months on what they wrote off as an eviction (illegal). When I confronted management about all this, they said "Who's gonna stop us?". While I was trying to talk to an attorney about it, my ex-husband serves me with papers wanting custody of my now 11 yo daughter because he heard I was "evicted". In this state, someone guilty of domestic violence (which also plagues this state) aren't supposed to be awarded custody, but litigation abuse is also a problem that nobody seems to want to do anything about. My theory of why it's so awful, here, is because this is a state governed by old families that have been here forever. Louisiana began as a penal colony. Those families who have been here hundreds of years are the decendants of corrupt criminals. I think the crime is so bad, here, because people get tired of struggling. They get tired of living somewhere that targets the hardworking and criminalized poverty. They get tired of the classism, sexism and racism. Why should they toe the line in a state where the rich & corrupt decide what all the rules are.

Everything in this video is 100% true. Poor town with a sensitive ego

Then don’t come to BR.

You sound really pleasant to be around.

Just left Baton Rouge for good. No more dealing with entitled cretins and horrible drivers. Drivers leaving 20 ft between cars at traffic lights is ridiculous. This should be illegal. Beggars on the street corners.

The town went STEEPLY downhill after Hurricane Katrina. Crime and grifters EVERYWHERE. Mayor is a joke. Police don't patrol much north of Florida Blvd.

The safest Walmart is in Denham. No beggars. No used diapers in the parking lot. Workers actually RESPOND to requests for help. Store is orderly and clean.

Our neighborhood... Gun shots heard once a month. Cars broken into 3 times in 3 years. Police blamed "unlocked car" as the reason for break-ins.


Gun shots heard once a month.

Seems like you guys are the arrogant ones, driving through town just bashing it. Really?? It may be you that people are reacting to. Baton Rouge overall is a very nice place. People are all different. Treat folks the way you want to be treated and quit being so judgmental. Nothing in your video showed why you are so against Baton Rouge. It just showed a really bad attitude.

[houstontopcat]

If Baton Rouge is that bad then feel free to leave and NEVER return! 😂😂😂

His ol' lady must've cheated with a dude from Baton Rouge! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm originally from the North but I live in Baton Rouge now. I totally DISAGREE with your message about the city. The people here are nice and the food is great. The culture here is great. Maybe you should get to understand how the culture along with the people here. I adjusted just fine to the area. It's a great place to live. I've seen some areas of LA and it's worst in other places. HONESTLY, maybe you should educate yourself about the area or maybe it's just you. The people are not arrogant. I'm northern and arrogant at heart. If you want to experience arrogance then you should go to the Northern states. You definitely experience the arrogance. There are a lot of greatly talented individuals within the state. From your admission, maybe it's the people you encounter. I guarantee you that you wouldn't drive through the hood saying anything of what you have stated in the video. Lastly, if you don't like Baton Rouge so much then maybe you should drive around the state! *DROPS MIC!

[mph]

WHY are you in Louisiana anyway? Your generalization is arrogant. Look in the mirror bro.
And please leave ASAP

[jujuharvey]

You just keep repeating yourself. You just don't know how to drive Baton Rouge!
