Crime is not bad in New Orleans. I've just recently come back after spending 4 weeks working down there. The only problem spots are the animals in the ninth ward and the welfare rats that schoolbus Nagin brought back for his election. New Orleans exported their crime to Houston.
All the crime stats that I've seen show the last 2 years of Dinkins administration and Rudy's 2 terms. That is where they pinpoint crime as starting to fall. Also in this time period, crime fell all across the country.
Reasons for this range from the end of the crack epidemic, tightening parole, would be criminals aging, the right to carry laws being enacted.
What has Hillary! done her entire life? Why, she f#cked her way to the top like a good radical feminazi should.

Crime is not as bad in New Orleans as it was before Katrina, sure.
But then huge numbers of folks have left the town, (including a lot of the criminals, who have proceeded to raise the crime rate wherever a lot of them have settled).
Despite that, only a few months back, they had to call in the National Guard AGAIN to go help keep down crime there.
So while your 4 weeks vacation there might have been nice, it doesn't really change the facts.
They don't cal in the National Guard to quell crime if crime is nice and low. Crime in New Orleans IS bad.
