we have thugs here in texas, no doubt. but one thing i have learned by observing there louisiana hurricane victims is that louisiana thugs are a different breed. they are far more likely to jack you up than your average texas thug. my coworker confronted two of them the other night, he was all up in their grill!!!! i told him "man, that was reckless. you have a wife and kid, what if they had stuck a blade in your stomach?" the idiot thinks he is ten feet tall and bulletproff, like a certain member here is.
My old buddy Tom was in New Orleans about five years ago, and he went down some street right off of Bourbon Street to take a piss. Some guy grabbed him from behind, and he knocked the guy down. When he looked at the guy, and he had a gun. Since there were people around, my buddy ran off and luckily didn't get shot at. Crazy.
