More crying for the poor helpless citizens of New Orleans

From FOX News

Nagin acknowledged the criminal justice breakdown extended beyond the police force and said a corps of volunteers will be recruited to monitor homicide cases moving through the courts. "We're sending a signal that the system that used to allow you to commit a murder and there were no consequences is over. It has been easier to commit a murder than another crime in New Orleans," Nagin said.

Also Tuesday, Sen. Mary Landrieu called on the Federal Emergency Management Agency to share more information on trailer residents with police, especially in New Orleans.

Law enforcement officials say the large trailer sites — where about 3,000 people still live in New Orleans — have turned into hot spots for drug dealers, prostitutes and even murderers. FEMA has been very tightlipped about who is living at the sites, which has hindered police work, St. Bernard Parish Sheriff Jack Stephens said.

Ok, so apparently at one point it was ok to commit murder?

And furthermore, if you have a neighborhood that is full of human trash, you have two choices: you either help the decent, hardworking people that are caught in the middle of it to change the way things are done. Or you bring in the bulldozers and make a parking lot. Being poor is not an excuse for acting like an animal, and while there is nothing wrong with being poor, I firmly stand by the idea that the only person that can help you succeed is yourself. Sorry i have no sympathy for those that choose to live like animals.
