What they need is to classify the entire city as a war zone and let U.S. military go in there and weed out the terrorists. Until we realize that these inner-city animals are terrorists the same as al Qaeda, and deal with the THE SAME WAY as we deal with foreign-born terrorists, we're not going to make our cities safe again.
Coddling people based on skin color, or giving them breaks because of underprivileged upbringings, does no one any favors and is why this country is rotting at its foundations. Kill the thugs NOW. They are terrorists.
I don't know that I would want to have the military going after the gangs in our cities. Not sure about that, but I agree that they are the reason so many cities including New Orleans are like a war zone and have such problems.
Political Correctness prohibits a frank discussion of what's really going on with the criminal element that has taken over big areas of our cities. Political Correctness prohibits mentioning if there is a racial element, an ethnic element, a family upbringing element to the violence in our cities. Sometimes liberals say we should look for root causes of problems, but in this case, Political Correctness prohibits us from exploring the root causes of this crime. Instead Mary Landrieu throws up her hands and proclaims that New Orleans is out of control, as if this just happened for no apparent reason.
In fact, Political Correctness prevents frank discussions of many issues.
