NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New statistics show a crime wave is intensifying in a city already beset by the uncertainties of a flagging recovery from Hurricane Katrina.
Despite an infusion of money and manpower into the justice system, the murder rate is growing and armed robbers are preying on Hispanic day laborers flush with cash from rebuilding jobs, the Police Department says.
The city, which led the nation in murders per capita in 2006, is on track to retain its title, according to data presented Thursday for April through June.
The report shows a 14 percent increase in murders and 44 percent leap in armed robberies for the first half of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.
"It's obviously not good," said police Superintendent Warren Riley.

Well now ... not chocolate enough ... or too chocolate?
Nothing 50,000 stealth vigilantes couldn’t clean up in a year or two.
“The ones that moved out of New Orleans also greatly increased the crime where ever they went.
They are a waste of good air and life IMO. They are like a cancer, the perfect Democrat utopia.”
I moved from NO so I could rape and pillage in Michigan. It was already a Democrat utopia before I got here though.
A lot of wonderful people decided to stay. Some other wonderful people like me and my family decided to get out.
Kind of a broad brush you’re painting with there don’t you think?
Sounds like the Katrina refugees are finally making their way back home.
Its those phantom cops.
The ones which were on the books for federal $$$ before but somehow never materialized.
I bet we could have built a levy out of one dollar bills with more effect and substance.
“I say we take off and nuke the place from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”
Don’t know what the current population of NOLA is, but I’m sure 150% will vote Democrat in 2008’s Presidential election.....
You never know...sounds like NO’s didn’t learn it’s lesson. It could’ve stayed cleaned up....if it keeps going this way...could be taken out for good.

There are good people everywhere, but NO excels in the number of bad ones.
If that isn’t the case, their leaders tell them what big victims they are and how the Democrats are their saviors (as they supposedly have been the last 50 years).
Outside of making sure there are more abortion clinics in their home areas to kill more of their babies than other folks, I really don’t know what Democrats have been doing for them.
Savages.
There are at least two model tracks that say Dean is the answer. Has Nagin learned his lesson?
It was a sewer before Katrina, New Orleans and the rest of Louisiana. These wonderful people you speak of enabled all of it and I feel sorry for none of them.
Just doing the jobs armed robbers won’t do.
The entire state is a sewer, corruption, last in everything. The good people of that state elected and reelected the dregs that run LA.
The in the elections following Katrina, there were so many conservative candidates running that they spread the conservative vote thin and the corrupt and incompetant incumbents were reelected. There are a LOT of New Orleanians who are appalled by how things worked out. Most of these people didn’t hit up the government for money but just wanted the government to get out of the way so they could get back to business.
When I left NO, part of what I was fleeing was the stupid and self destructive electorate. Most of what went wrong in Katrina was ultimately the fault of the electorate for electing the clowns who were in charge. I was appalled when they were re-elected. There is a substantial conservative minority there that share my feelings. I’m encouraged to hear that Jindall has a real shot at the governorship now.
Here in Michigan, my life isn’t so threatened by the stupid electorate but it’s much the same as Louisiana. Both states are just ahead of the curve to where the country as a whole is going. Is is OK if I blame you when Hillary is elected?
Hillary will NOT win!
And you still do not get it, it is not about NO and Katrina, Mayor Nagin.....it is about a state that has suffered from voter apathy for centuries.
