Strong Words, That’s About All.

Nine People Shot in less than Seven Hours

12:38 PM CST on Friday, February 16, 2007.
Six people were shot inside a Mid-City nightclub Friday morning just hours after a triple shooting in Bywater....

Just hours before, a triple shooting in the Bywater area left two people dead....

Mayor Ray Nagin was also at the crime scene Thursday night and issued the following statement on the murders:

“Last month, I stated that one murder is too many in our community, our fragile city that is still on the journey to recovery.  Tonight, I am deeply saddened that our young people continue dying in our streets.

“As I continue to work to address the systemic problems that have plagued our criminal justice system for decades, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of addressing educational and social problems that have plague our community for just as long.

“I commend the clergy for stepping up and working with the city to help our youth find a way out of a life of crime.  We must all work together and unify as a community to save our children from violence.”



This is exactly why we don’t trust liberals on law enforcement and national security.  Apparently, “last month, one murder [was] too many in our community”.  This month the mayor is “deeply saddened”.  So what is he going to do about it?  He intends to fix the “criminal justice system” and address “educational and social problems”.  New Orleans, don’t expect crime to decrease anytime soon.

“It’s time for us to come together. It’s time for us to rebuild New Orleans — the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans,” ...... “This city will be a majority African American city. It’s the way God wants it to be. You can’t have New Orleans no other way. It wouldn’t be New Orleans.”
Ray Nagin- Martin Luther Kinfg Day 2006

Indeed......

Joel,

God wants New Orleans to be an African American city?  He can claim to know what “God” wants for New Orleans, I’d sure like to know where he heard it.  But really, where is the separation of Church and State?  That and his racist tone is completely excused by the left.

What is the source of the “Chocolate City’s” problems; like the murders mentioned in your post?

It predated Katrina by a long-shot!!
