The high crime rates at NewOrleans, Chicago, N.Y.C., D.C. and L.A. are caused by illegal drug trading.
The Prohibition on cocaine makes buying and selling it lucrative. If cocaine were legal crime rates would plummet. People who sell cocaine on the street are literally murdering their competition (down the street).
The demand for cocaine (for example) comes from the middle and upper class; the lower class sell it. Selling cocaine is just too lucrative for the lower class to resist. And the fact that it's illegal makes it even more suitable for the lower class urbanite to buy and sell it. The geography of the city aids the cocaine seller by helping the seller deter detection by police (in the act of selling it and in killing the competition). The city geography also increases anonymity for the buyer, reducing their risk of detection by police.
The more the govt (police) crack down on illegal drug trading, the more lucrative it is to buy and sell it. As the profitability of illegal drug selling increases, so will the incentive to literally murder (eliminate) the competition. After police confiscate a sizeable quantity of illegal drugs (marijuana or cocain) the supply of it declines (temporarily) and then the price of it increases, making the buying and selling of it even more lucrative.
Drug dealers actually want police to catch (arrest) other drug sellers because it helps eliminate competition AND raises the selling price.
Gun crime associated in big cities is only a symptom of the bigger problem of drug trading. If marijuana and cocain were legal, gun crime would drop (gun control laws are unneccessary). Gun control by govt exacerbates the bigger problem of drug trading by creating another (lucrative) blackmarket (buying and selling of guns), and by increasing crime rates. The blackmarket for guns encourages theft, especially burglary. Gun buybacks also encourage burglary (unintentionally creating more victims). Gun buybacks should be outlawed.
The govt's immoral and futile war on drugs (and guns) harms more people than it protects.
Mandatory attendance laws for public schools increases the chances for school shootings and assaults at schools.
High crime rates (in big cities) are caused by the govt.

<quoted text>That is another major factor. Prohibiting people's pleasure guarantees criminal behaviour.
Then again, guaranteeing crime is a good thing when you are the government and looking for more reasons (excuses) to strip the people of further rights in the name of "making them more safe".

Is it true the Major of Chocolate City is quaranteended in China?
That's a hoot. He fled Katrina, did nothing to help the citizens, and was still RE ELECTED by his black loving constituents. Now he is in China and can't come home.
Maybe they will keep him.

And cars kill three times as many people as guns. WE SHOULD BAN DRIVING. This is such left-wing bullshit. Why did they single out 2006 ? What about 2007,2008 I guess not enough people went crazy, accidentaly shot there friend or themselves or commited suicide to make the story really juicy so you don't hear about those years. my guns have killed less people than Ted Kenedys car has. Wake up America. Your freedom was won not by the military but by farmers with hunting rifles. The left-wing wants you to read stories like this and think guns are bad.

I don't go to New Orleans. It is the sespool of Loisiana. Katerina didn't do a good enough job. Everywhere the N.O. people went, they were asked to leave when the people there found out what they were all about.
Again, some people need to be killed. Like God said in the old testament, to purge the evil from among you. We haven't done that so we have to put up with this trash.

And Preacher, isn't Lafayette becoming the second cespool of La? Everytime you turn on the news it's the same thing day in and day out, people killing people.

Preacher wrote:

Lafayette used to be a low crime city until the storms. We had a large influx of people relocating and the crime rate went through the roof.The parades and festivals were family events. Not anymore. I know a lot of families the refuse to go to them anymore.
The local gun store offered a concealed carry class. So many people showed up that the line was all the way out the door into the parking lot. People are trying to protect themselves and their families.
