I’m sure LA could use that money for their WIC (Women and Children’s) programs, and maybe throw some more at their hopeless school system. In other words, just spend and spend until it’s all gone. And when Al-Qaeda comes calling, they can all scoot safely back over the border into Mexico.

How do these statistics compare with other major cities? Higher? Lower?

Sounds like they’ve had almost as many dead in 5 years in LA as in Iraq. Maybe we should declare LA a failed city, and pull all Americans out.

That would probably reduce their population by at least 10%...

Not to seem flippant over people's lives, but you have a valid point. The per capita murder rate in the City of Los Angeles is higher than the U.S. heroes combat fatality rate in Iraq, which the councilmembers are condemning President Bush for.

Iraq: 27,500,000 people according to the C.I.A.
Los Angeles: 3,819,000 people in 2003, according to the U.S. Census

There have been 3146 American heroes' deaths since 3/19/2003, which is almost 700 per year.

Los Angeles City alone has almost 500 homicides each year.

Living in Iraq under President Bush's "failed policies" is many times safer than living under the Democrat-rules (and ruined) Los Angeles.

Er, Living in Iraq under President Bush’s “failed policies” is many times safer than living under the Democrat-ruled (and ruined) Los Angeles.

Yeah... the same City Of Los Angeles that's swamped by illegal aliens. I noticed they didn't mention redeploying the troops to secure our borders. The Left is still invested in defeat. The City Of Angels must have missed the memo about the good news from Iraq - so much so the MSM no longer features Iraq in its daily headlines.
