Jefferson Parish's murder rate continued to spiral upward Friday night, after authorities logged a third killing within 24 hours, pushing the bloodshed to its highest level since 1980.
The tally stood at 62 homicides in unincorporated Jefferson Parish, with the West Bank accounting for 43. The previous high for unincorporated Jefferson Parish was 50 murders logged in all of 1990, said Col. John Fortunato of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.
Friday night's violence, which brought Sheriff Harry Lee to the scene in Terrytown, came more than 24 hours after two men were cut down in a Harvey neighborhood Thursday night.

In the wake of a tsunami of violent crime and death in Democrat-controlled New Orleans post Katrina, Republicans today called for an immediate pull-out of all police and security forces from the terrorized city.
Mayor Ray "School-Bus" Nagin, Democrat, NO, Louisiana, was unvailable for comment as he was cowering under his desk at city hall and screaming for protection.
Outgoing Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, said that the 167 bayou murders this year had spawned a climate of total chaos best described as a "...civil war of coddled liberal criminals killing everyone and each other."
He advocated the immediate withdrawl of all uniformed services from the war-torn battlefield. "This is basically a civil war fueled by the American mainstream media and we should let it run its natural course. Let CNN take some casualties for a change!"
This comes closely on the heels of former Senator Rick Santorum's call last week for an immediate pull-out of police from the savage-streets of Democrat-controlled Philadelphia where 403 people have been murdered this year alone.
Former DNC Chairman and current Pennsylvania governor Fast Eddie Rendell downplayed the violence and said he was looking forward to Philadelphia establishing a new homicide record this year under his leadership.
We need to hold talks with Iran and Syria.
"Be assured the murders are primarily the work of the trashy local citizenry."
I was talking about the ones in LA referenced in the other post.
Where's the Travel Warning from State?
The thing to note is that this is mostly slime killing slime. The problem is they seem to reproduce faster than they kill each other off, so for population purposes the net effect is zero.
I wonder how many "refugees" were relocated in Philadelphia?
Did the liquor stores stop cashing welfare checks or something? Oh I forgot, its all my fault. How insensitive of me. Please raise taxes....
Pray for me! I leave for New Orleans Thursday
