😥😞
And yet it's somehow still better than Hartford, CT…
Its been awful since Katrina
Call the national gard & stop letting the criminals back out bring back the death penalty. & stop being little bitchs & get the police back.. stop allowing politicians change it because there the ones that let it happen
Rule number 1 don't go to New Orleans
Unless you want to not make it back
Can't wait for white conservatives to start crying crocodile tears over this.
Liberals and Democrats 😅 complaining about crimes and no consequences 😅???? See what’s wrong here!
New Orleans is great place to live. Raising your family should start right here!
Should no mercy on any crimes and put heavy penalty….
Irish channel..yup.
Lack of empathy. I will have no empathy when more citizens start to fight back
BW come here, let's talk woman to woman: stop marching for your oppressors, stop bailing your oppressors out of jail, stop letting your oppressors play 2k on your couch all day and STOP BIRTHING YOUR OPPRESSORS!
That'll drop the crime rate in half.
Just cuz you told down the project does not mean it's going to stop
the pervasive ghettoization of public school systems is the root of all evil nothing gets fixed until this cartel gets deconstructed that is also an over-simplification but still true
The rate also includes lawful shootings by police and self defense, and counted just as any murder. So what is the real rate ?
DAMMMM. Took the title away from Camden NJ, come on Camden you could do better…Iam counting on you, and you even have a governor that is on your side
No excuses for violent crimes. But when the middle class people are having a hel! of a hard time with the prices of rent and groceries, what do you think ppl in the lowest income will do to put food on the table? Deal drugs more, steal more and rob more than ever. Even a normal job won't get your bills paid so don't say it's because ppl don't want to work. Even if they do, it's not enough. And if they do have a job, it all comes down to trying to survive. There will always be gangs and senseless crimes..but when it becomes a struggle for honesty working ppl, the crime rates always go up exponentially.
It been bad I guess because white ppl moved there now it's a problem
This has been happening since the 90s. The only solution is to stop them from breeding. 🤷🏾♀️ The overwhelming majority of the crimes is committed by blackmails. They actually brag on their cities for being dangerous.
I tried to live in New Orleans after Katrina but it's an 😈 evil spirits in that POS city, the youngsters down there are a POS, the police are a POS, it's just all around a POS, it's below sea level and that's where it needs to be below the sea
I don't think Abraham Lincoln was thinking this would happen after letting them free. I think right now would be a good time to bring back the plantation.
Well first of all, most if not all suspects are black. Second, I don't think people cared when 81 million people voted for biden. How is that working out for you americans?
Latoya "People need to be held accountable" while not holding people accountable, including herself.
Chicago is slipping
Everyone knows who are fueling these crime but no one wants to shout it loud. Too much political correctness going so thugs feel entitled.
It will only go downhill from here
Prayers for my ⚜️ family.
It's black boys and men committing all the crimes
So proud
Sending 31 Army tanks to Ukraine is more important than saving predominantly black Americans cities.
Remember when young black people had a hunger for education, opportunity, home ownership, etc? Now, it's a hunger for a toxic show off culture, short term thinking, petty vendettas, and impulsive mayhem….. all bad
Guess the color
Diversity rules
these folks wanted to defund cops and hate cops , now they want cops and accountability .. oh lawd.. no thk you ..
when cops takes out these color folks , they'll end up burning the city … cause they are aspiring rapers, cops and the rest of the world don't want nothing to do with al sharptons people
bet they are all color folks that's doing the murder
Watch the news everyday and had no idea..national media says zero about N.O murders… We really only hear Cali, NY, Texas and Philly..unless they use an "assault weapon" then you media eat it up
😒😒😒😒 the NATION is the nation's murder capitol at this point!
No Surprise there…
Lil “female dogs” can’t take an asswhippin. That’s the problem. Discipline your kids now, so later we won’t have to.
I thought houston would of been
Social tardo de chocolate'.
😊
All these deaths are from maga people reee ?
Good thing they defunded the police in 2020
Blame white supremacist people for minority crimes. ?
Same folks always committing crimes and killing each other
