Yep!

The Good Number of New Orleans that got the message didn't go back.
Last autumn multiple killings took place in Houston nearly every weekend, but Sgt Brian Harris of Houston police said the violence had significantly eased now that evacuees were returning home.
New Orleans again appears to be drawing the people who wreaked havoc on its streets before the storm
I guess the crime hype wasnt overblown. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Wonder how long before the good citizens of New Orleans start taking out the trash with guns of their own.
The solution to high crime rates is firearms in the hands of capable, upstanding, law abiding citizens.
For years, the police had complained that witnesses and residents refused to help, fearing retribution from gangs and drug dealers. Killings in broad daylight on busy blocks produced few or no witnesses.
Adding to that, in the old days, you simply didn't do anything that would put a brotha in jail. Blacks would support their own in most cases, no matter how guilty the party involved was, much like we see in the Cynthia McKinney case. Now it looks like blacks want a new start and aren't taking the crap any more! Good for them...
We sent them millions.
I thought this article was referring to the Rev's Jackson and Sharpton doing their racist bit in the Big Easy this week................
I met a black man at a gym we go to who said he would never go back to NO - he now has a home and a job here in AZ. said he had thrown off the shackles of welfare forever.
Yep!
The most valuable police tools are in such places, the wrecking ball and the bulldozer.
Hey, it's hard out there for a pimp!
"The solution to high crime rates is firearms in the hands of capable, upstanding, law abiding citizens."
Very true, but most of those kinds of people left the Chocolate City long ago.
Sadly, the only thing that could possibly change Chocolatetown is for it to be blasted and flooded again by Hurricane X proving once and for all that those crime ridden(and flood prone) areas like the 9th Ward should never be rebuilt. Bulldozing those areas is the only way the criminals won't return.
But since there are lots and lots of good people(and some of my family) in the surrounding areas, I can't rightfully wish for that.
Now, six weeks without a fix, THAT's a disaster. Just playin' catch-up, I guess.
"New Orleans was a chocolate city before Katrina and...this city will be chocolate at the end of the day."
Ray Nagin
And our money is being poured into NO to rebuild this playground for criminals.
New Orleans is more chocolaty today. This was a move by Nagin, Jackson, et al to lure voters back. The pushers are a leading indicator foe Democrat voters returning.
Check with FEMA and all those debit cards
"And a young man was killed after handing over his wallet in the Faubourg Marigny, a neighbourhood of popular bars and restaurants."
So much for not resisting.
About time the drug dealers got the hell out of Texas. I guess they don't want to get shot.
In Texas, we have guns and aren't afraid to use them.
I guess the dealers accept the FEMA debit cards.
Well...
So much for Mayor Nagin's boast that
NO is a crime free, drug free city.
God must hate NO.
First the hurricane, then Al and Jesse, and then all the other criminals returned.
