Two killed in New Orleans home invasion
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 26 (UPI) -- The slaying of two members of a family and wounding of another five is the latest in a spike in home invasion attacks in New Orleans.
Seven relatives had been meeting at a home in the city's Village de l'Est neighborhood Friday when gunmen forced their way inside, robbed them and then opened fire without warning, The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune reported Sunday.
A man in his late 20s and a woman in her late 30s sustained fatal wounds, making the incident the second double-homicide in the area in the last two weeks. A husband and wife were killed 15 doors away two weeks ago, but police have found no connections between the two attacks.
However, the pair of double-slayings follows a trend of home invasions in eastern New Orleans typically involving groups of gunmen using similar tactics.
The newspaper said the spike in violence comes as many in the New Orleans neighborhood struggle to repair homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina two years ago.
Meanwhile the gun grabbers are celebrating as it doesn’t affect them!
the newspaper suggesting the “struggle to repair” homes has anything to do with these crimes is pure fabrication. New Orleans has always been a violent city. Check the crime statistics from past years.
Things are getting back to normal...
They should dynamite the levees and let the Mississippi flush that toilet.
I was going to crack wise about this crime somehow being connected to Hurricane Katrina.
So what's the source of the struggle to rebuild? Didn't our pockets get picked to the tune of 20 billion dollars or so to rebuild that hedonistic sinkhole?
Should they dynamite the levees in the midwest as well? Maybe they could use a flushing also. Just wondering.
If you will recall, local black political leaders in New Orleans said the US did EXACTLY that after Katrina! They said the US dynamited the levees, using a new type of silent dynamite! (To drive off all the poor bliacks, apparently.) REALLY! I am not making this up!
I Promise to save New Orleans
If the crime rate matches N.O., perhaps so.
MaxMax -
Just asking - who is the person in the picture?
Hmmm...
No description of the perps.
A would-be home invader was also blown away by a 23 year old mother last week—his accomplice was only wounded.
“They should dynamite the levees and let the Mississippi flush that toilet.”
Ah yes, because of criminals victimizing people we should kill all the people...GET BENT.
Prayers for the good people of New Orleans, who only come to national attention when they become a criminal statistic.
That usually means they are democrats. There's no need for a description, since nobody intends to look for them, anyway.
Bush’s fault. He don’t care about black people, ya know.
Absolutely not!
Its' a great place to make into a prison city though! ;)
