New Orleans French Quarter "escaped looting and violence" after Hurricane Katrina
From Wikipedia:
The Quarter largely escaped the looting and violence after the storm; nearly all of the antique shops and art galleries in the French Quarter, for example, were untouched.1
Note Wikipedia does not tells us why the French Quarter escaped looting and violence... The people in French Quarter protected their homes and property. Outnumber and unprotected by the state white people survived the post Hurricane Katrina black riots...

New Orleans Like 'the Third World'
Friday, September 02, 2005
...in the world-renowned French Quarter, armed residents hide behind ornate iron gates like prisoners in a frilly jail. Historic markers on Napoleonic-era houses share billing with signs that warn: "You loot, we shoot!"..."F... the Quarter!" a black man shouts as he walks beneath a balcony where a resident lounges with a cold beer as generator roars away in the otherwise deathly night silence.
