I love New Orleans and am deeply saddened to see it go through this shit. The "cavemen" that are killing and raping people have been there. 28% of the people in N.O. live below the Government established poverty line. 28%!They didn't just emerge overnight... but yes, since the law has left, the crime has risen. These are people that have nothing. They grew up having nothing and they take what they can't have legally. It's not good by any means nor do I endorse the crimes that are happening. At the Superdome last night, there were 3 murders and 2 rapes. They had to evac. the Dr.s that were there to provide care because the situation was uncontrollable. There are rescue teams and volunteers that are waiting to get in to help, but they can't because of the dire situation. Do I think NOLA is worth saving and rebuilding? Yes, but I feel it is realistic and it will never be the same. People have nothing to come back to and once things are rebuilt, they won't be able to afford to come back.
