Poor kid.
She sounds like she suffers from Battered Wife Syndrome.
Except it was an abusive city that was doing the betaing.
I’m glad she is getting out of that situation.
She might consider buying a gun to defend herself.

Stupid woman. Stupid, stupid, stupid woman.
Face it, Eve, baby. The love of your life, New Orleans, always has been and always will be a cesspool.
You've just been lucky that what happened to you hadn't happened sooner. Get out with your life while you still can.
N.O. has no potential to be anything other than what she is. N.O. is filled with people who are convinced that they are perfectly entitled to be ignorant, unproductive and hateful. I say this as someone who has loved N.O. in spite of her copious faults for thirty years.
Bush didn't do this. These people were always there and now they're in charge. The cure would be an honest city and state government and a professional and incorrupt police force. In Nawlins. I jest.
Yes, it’s a shame, there were few muggings and murders before Katrina...
Wrong answer. The gentle one is a figment of her imagination. It's the one she wants to be true.
Reality has smacked another liberal upside the head.
She's in love with this hell hole?
Besides, mugging stimulates their economy.
“Which is the real New Orleans”
Obviously he got to see it.
New Orleans has been utterly and irretrievably destroyed. George H.W. Bush must be very proud of his New World Order in operation under his son’s administration. Now we have Count Olav (to borrow from Laura Ingraham) as Attorney General (Holy MOSES!) — a man whose loyalties are as divided as his credibility is non-existent, and now a reasonable useful idiot brought in at Homeland Security
All this while the poppy fields of Afghanistan are ready to produce a huge heroin “crop” while George W. Bush presides.
Why isn’t the USA under George W. Bush fire-bombing the poppy fields of Afghanistan?
And what does that have to do with this pooor soul and the assault in New Orleans? What’s happened to this person is going to happen next to our children if we continue to tolerate the way the Bush administration operates, fails to secure the borders, and allows the world to be glutted with heroin.
This is her explaining her internship with NPR... cute thing..

Yet lot to learn...
Yes.
I admire anyone who tries to stay and fight for their city instead of running to the suburbs like a pansy. Unfortunately, when there's no city left to fight for, there's no point in staying.
Fixing New Orleans would be easy: declare martial law, patrol the streets in armored Humvees like they do in Anbar, and machine gun anybody who gives you trouble. Establish and enforce a dusk-to-dawn curfew and shoot anyone you see breaking it. Divide the city into Areas of Operation with barbed wire and fortified checkpoints, then clean the crimimals and drug dealers out of each one using paid informants and strike teams. Raze everything below sea level and let it go back to nature, then build new infrastructure on raised land. Disestablish all local government and place it under the command of a general officer operating from a GHQ a la postwar Japan.
All this done well and New Orleans would be a fine place to live in a decade or two.
Sooner or later, another hurricane is going to finish the job that Katrina started. Maybe then, and only then, will that Third World swamp be abandoned.
New Orleans..new theme song
What Have You Done for Me Lately???
This may be completely out of line, but I can’t help thinking:
“Ain’t Karma a bitch???”
There can little hope for New Orleans, until the rats have been exterminated..
All of them....
Literally...
Nagin is attempting identify the turds in his Easter Basket as “chocolate”...
Well, they aren’t
Here’s a thought: quit voting for dems, and maybe something will get done in New Orleans.
