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.

Happy 1st B-Day to mini Me
My son is one year old today! He should be walking any day now...he stands and balances himself well and claps. He loves to mimic everything mom and dad do.
