Yep, a crime ridden city. Now the criminals are back, fewer law abiding citizens are back so the few that came back appear to be prime targets.

The fact it's now 2 yrs since the levees broke...and most of the city is still in shambles. Is this Bush's fault? No Way...

I know several people — some government, some private sector — who have been substantively involved with the N.O. relief effort. They all speak with a mixture of contempt and disgust with the local political structure. N.O. right now is full of outsiders trying to put things back together, but the locals keep throwing up roadblocks.

Yep. Its amazing how being mugged makes a liberal see the light. Nothing like the reality of crime to shake people awake from their delusions.
