Criminality takes a Hollywood cue. While this kind of nonsense plays out great in the ppicture shows, NOMB can't understand why a security guard would waste rounds and endanger us by protecting so bullshit armored car. And then, not even stop them.
Three men in ski masks with assault rifles at their sides pulled off a highly choreographed armored-truck heist late Thursday morning and exchanged gunfire with a security guard outside a bank in the bustling Riverbend neighborhood.
The holdup was strictly a professional affair, authorities said. The robbery crew, dressed in dark clothing, carried guns fit for warfare.
Front Page Stuff: Baton Rouge gets a taste
LSU Police on Friday were investigating the murders of two students on the college campus.The victims, Chandrasekhar Reddy Komma and Kiran Kumar Allam, international Ph.D. students at LSU, were found inside an apartment at the Edward Gay complex. The apartments are next to the LSU Band practice field.
Just like yesterday's bodies on the northshore, NOMB has this tingle in our bones.
And PS..
We're posting this paragraph, not cuz its news to us, but becasue come on, this is one of the worst paragraphs the TP has cranked out in a good while.
It is uncertain whether two Georgia men knew it was their last supper, but they both ate within an hour of being shot to death "execution style" and eventually dumped alongside Interstate 12 in western St. Tammany Parish, authorities said Thursday.
Seriously Benjamin Alexander-Bloch, what the hell kind of copy is this. You aint in a James Elroy novel.

Speculation
Now, it's not like NOMB to make guesses, but something about this execution-style scenario sounds like its got some NOLA routes, even though the bodies are on the North Shore. We mean, come on, the last time we were up there everyone was so friendly and obliging you'd have thought it was the mid-west.
Amid typical roadside debris such as fast-food containers and cigarette butts, the bullet-punctured bodies of two men were discovered Wednesday morning a few miles apart alongside Interstate 12 in western St. Tammany Parish.
Both victims had been shot and dumped out of a car
To all ya'll working in the field today, don't forget, when you got no tread, you slip:
A 44-year-old Slidell man working inside a house in the 3700 block of Rosetta Drive was robbed at gunpoint about 1:30 p.m. by two men who entered through a side door, sheriff's deputies said.
About 10 minutes later, a man painting inside his house in the 2100 block of East Beauregard Street reported that he was robbed at gunpoint by two men who demanded his wallet, Sanders said.

Sending Help for the Help
NOMB send out best wishes to the three men who mugged, shot at, caught, and finally pistol whipped two Americorp down here in NOLA to work in the Recovery School District. What great people we have here sometimes. The only surprise in this little Wednesday tragedy is that is happened over on Clio, and not in the halls of one of those detention centers we're trying to pass off as houses of education.

Worker's Rights
While the Hispanic Forum over on the second floor of the Howard Avenue Catholic Charities building fumbles around with its "Immigrant Bill of Rights", the ones on the streets, working jobs with no licenses and taking the pistol whippings over on N Prieur, continue to be top target for stuff like this...
1) Proximity Rating: 3 (We may not work in the East, but we're on the job with cash, and that's close enough)
Alejandro Pecina Ruiz, 42, a Mexican citizen, and his nephew, were working in a first-floor apartment in a vacant apartment building under renovation at 8017 Trapier Ave. About 2:15 p.m., a gunman walked in and demanded money. Ruiz and his nephew, 22, complied, but the man shot them and escaped.
Ruiz died in the apartment, and his nephew collapsed just outside the gate to the complex. He was taken to a hospital. An autopsy showed Ruiz suffered a gunshot wound to the neck.
The worst thing is that all this stuff is backpage business for the Times-Picayune
2) Let it stand, for the record, that NOMB thinks this number is at least 6 off, if not more,
A teenager was shot dead Saturday afternoon in Algiers, bringing New Orleans' murder total for the year to about 200. Aaron Williams, 17, of New Orleans, died Saturday at about 4:45 p.m. after a shooting, in the 5900 block of Tullis Drive in Algiers, that also left a woman wounded.
3)Proximity Rating: 10
In the Gert Town case, the coroner's office identified the victim as George Hankton III, 40, of New Orleans. Hankton and two other men were shot Friday about 5:45 p.m. in the 7800 block of Oleander Street, near Earhart Boulevard. Hankton died on the sidewalk next to a carwash between Burdette and Fern streets. The other victims were taken to hospitals.
4) Seriously folks, read this one and think about it. First they shot them, then they set their trailer on fire.
Proximity Rating: Who knows anymore
A double shooting in eastern New Orleans occurred about 3:45 a.m. Police identified Jermaine Hunt, 19, as a suspect, and an arrest warrant was issued on two counts of attempted murder, robbery and arson, Flot said.
Responding to an initial report of a fire, Flot said, 7th District police found two men in the street in the 5100 block of Lakeview Court, a cul-de-sac lined with double townhouses and tucked into the bend of Interstate 10 at Dwyer Road
All the while, two folks get shot in Colorado and its front page news. The alternative newspapers tout a man says he's got the real numbers. Convoluted as it sounds, NOMB doesn't care about numbers. It's the endless stream of lists, the day in and day out, that we get our juice from.

Thursday
NOMB wonders if the first days of Hannukah have any bearing on the current state of affairs in the city. Can't anyone just take a day of and light a candle.
NOMB lights a candle for all ya'll out there shooting each other up. Maybe you'll see our light, huh brah? Maybe?
A 25-year-old New Orleans man was fatally shot in an eastern New Orleans trailer park late Wednesday afternoon, police said. The shooting occurred shortly around 4:30 p.m. Police found a man lying in a roadway inside a trailer park in the 7700 block of Chef Menteur Highway. The man had multiple gunshot wounds, police spokeswoman Officer Jonette Williams said. He died at University Hospital at 5:28 p.m.
Detectives had no motive

The same, only different
Ever since NOMB started digging, we keep coming up with more of the same. Let's keep the monotony rolling.
1) Proximity Rating: 2 (This little piece of work is exactly at exactly the half way point between two volunteer construction jobs the our Editors are running this week)
A 19-year-old man walking down the street in the Treme neighborhood was shot late Tuesday morning.
The local teen was walking near St. Philip and North Robertson streets about 11:30 a.m. when gunshots rang out, said Officer Garry Flot.
The victim suffered a graze wound to the stomach
2) Proximity Rating: 4 (we had breakfast with a nice young lady over there on Sunday)
Around 1:30 p.m., a gunman approached two young men in the Irish Channel, according to police reports. The gunman attempted to rob a 23-year-old man in the 700 block of Pleasant Street. The two started scuffling.
A second man, 29, tried to assist the victim. The gunman shot the 29-year-old in the left leg
3) Proximity Rating: ? (It's probably better for everyone if we don't know where this went down. We mean, no need to worry needlessly)
Two people were shot around 10:20 p.m. in the Uptown area, which encompasses the 2nd District
The address was not listed on preliminary police logs.
The victims -- a 20-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman -- were approached by a man in a dark vehicle who started shooting.
The man was shot in the shoulder, the woman in the left hand.
NOMB where violence is front page.

Weekend Wrap Up
Lets do this.
1)Surprise Surprise : Proximity Rating: 10
An unidentified man was found dead in a Gretna ditch Thursday night and police have no motive or suspects.
The man was found in the 300 block of Ocean Avenue about 8 p.m
2)Proximity Rating: 5 (we were right over there trying to make some side cash by unsweating a cast iron hub)
A man was shot several times on the sidewalk in front of a gas station Friday night on South Carrollton Avenue
3)A man was shot in the neck and back in the courtyard of an Algiers apartment complex.
4)Meanwhile, New Orleans police are continuing an investigation into the fatal shooting of a man by a would-be robber Wednesday in Central City.
5) Brandon Brown, 28, of New Orleans was the victim in Saturday's killing.
Brown died at 5:36 a.m. at a hospital of a gunshot wound to the head, Gagliano said. He also was shot in the hand.
Shortly after 3 a.m., New Orleans police found Brown and another man with several gunshot wounds near Gen. de Gaulle and Shirley drives
If you are confused by any of this, then you are right on the money. How many vicitms are the same? Is Brown the same man that was reported shot on Saturday? What the hell is going on?
Hell of a lot of cap peeling. That's what the fuck is going on.
