Murder City

162 murders, 4 associated arrests and 1 conviction.
Those are the facts. With only half the population of pre-Katrina we still manage to be the murder capital of the U.S.
Tragically, law enforcement has opted to devote the majority of it's resources to traffic duty. Condemning non-violent & clean record citizens to long detentions in central lockup and the Orleans Parish Prison for being in the car with someone with an expired inspection sticker, cracked windshield, riding a bike with only one hand and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Is it worth the resources to put people in jail for two days on a $10 bond when there are hundreds of cold-blooded killers stalking the population? Most people (myself included) are still just trying to re-establish their pre-Katrina lifestyles and get back in front of the ball but now were being harassed to such a degree we're wondering if we should have come back at all.
