Everyone who is reading this thread is noticing how your 'conversation' is going and how you are both trying to instigate some kind of bigoted hysteria on the FR. You may have noticed it isn't working and you aren't fooling anyone as to what your agenda is about.
That said, flame away...if you want to - that is what you want. But, I will not respond. Good day.
Truth hurts -- how is it bigoted to talk about the crimes being committed in Orleans Parish compared to the rest of the area. I resent your accusation. If you cannot see the truth, then you have my sympathy but I don't believe in coddling hoodlums and drug addicts which we are seeing plenty of on the TV.
I feel for the children and the elderly/handicapped who are in this terrible situation. I feel nothing for the able bodied people that looted TV's, jewelry, tried to break into hospitals, stole guns, etc. If that makes me a bigot then I have a lot of company. The 9th Ward in Orleans is someplace I wouldn't have wanted to be in at night on a good day. Why don't you read all about Orleans Parish and all their problems long before the hurricane?
FYI, we had a basketball player here at OU that comes out of that hellhole of the 9th Ward. Great kid who was raised by his grandparents and talked about how unsafe it was for anyone to be out at night in the 9th Ward. His Mother was a drug addict and could care less. Hollis made something of himself because of his grandparents in spite of the thugs/hoodlums surrounding him.
If the men of Orleans had half the gumption of some of these Grandmothers, it would have been a better city to live. For every Hollis Price, there are tens of thugs/drug addicts in Orleans Parish. That's a fact not spin. I have heard him talk about the city he came from and how bad it was when he was growing up. His grandparents evacuated to Houston before being told which speaks volumes for them.
Next time you decide to try and paint us into a corner, think again.

You are projecting your fears. Sorry. I won't take responsibility for your feelings or your comprehension skills. If you can't understand that BAD BAD people are causing quite alot of trouble in N.O. killing, looting, raping and MAY be arriving in a city near you, then I can't help you.
