[E. Pluribus Unum]

Reminds me of the mayor of Amity Island telling people they were safe from shark attack in the movie "Jaws."

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

what happened to the bollards?

weird

[EvilCapitalist]

Wherever there is islam, no one is safe.

I hate to be so cynical but when they said yesterday the Sugar Bowl had been stopped and then later said it would go on today, I thought “They want to make money and they’ll hope nobody gets killed but the bosses figure it’s worth the risk to make that cash.”

They have no idea if the bumblers who set up a place for a driver to avoid the one squad car and simply move to the side and drive on the sidewalk unimpeded would somehow become competent leaders overnight.

Other than Sen. Kennedy they all were liars and covering their butts.

[frank ballenger]

Leftover from Ripley’s Believe It Or Not——I have never seen Jaws. Heard the phrase we’re going to need a bigger boat, though.

They said it was safe before the attack....All these people in New Orleans local government think of is tax money. More and more....

Pathetic!

[KarlInOhio]

Crinkle, crinkle, thump.

The sound of a Babylon Bee writer throwing away a fake headline idea after seeing it already used by the Washington Post.

[T.B. Yoits]

Gotta keep the money flowing. It’s all about the Benjamins.

[Disambiguator]

In his 1988 book “Parliament of Whores,” PJ O’Rourke described New Orleans as a “high crime drainage ditch.”

I don’t much has changed, but now you have terrorism to worry about too.

Apart from the Sugar Bowl today the next biggie coming up will be Mardi Gras next month. I assume the police presence will be huge for that.

[roving]

Did they put up more little cones to block streets?

[ComputerGuy]

The words New Orleans and safe don’t even belong in the same paragraph.

[Gene Eric]

should have a poll concerning tacit govt involvement in the attack

[lgjhn23]

40 years ago, a couple could get a nicely-priced, getaway “weekend special” at the Hyatt Regency located near the SuperDome. One could safely walk from there, down Canal Street to Bourbon Street, shop along the way and walk back even after dark with no issues whatsoever.
Try to do that today in this day and age: one best have a entire USMC rifle squad providing protection.

[albie]

Isn’t NO one of the cities that cut back on their “bunch of meanies” police force?

[TalBlack]

I saw that camera phone walk thru of the Nawlins killing field which pulled no punches. Didn’t look real safe to me. Good thing Islam is a religion of peace though.

[maddog55]

NOLA is one of the most dangerous cities in America.. terrorist are a minor nuisance.

[ABStrauss]

.....and, NO has a great chief of police.
