People in N.O. Fed Up With Violence

Posted on January 12, 2007 by JP Smith

Stop The ViolenceNew Orleans is a city in flux. Right now, a lot of people are caught up in the day-to-day challenges of trying to rebuild their lives more than a year after Hurricane Katrina hit. Unfortunately, in addition to this stress, they have to deal with a ridiculously high murder rate. Well, many are more than fed up and are letting Mayor Ray Nagin have it.
Yesterday, at least 3,000 people marched on city hall to voice their anger of the city leadership’s inability (or unwillingness) to stem the tide of almost daily murders going on in the city.

It’s clear that these folks don’t want lip service. They wouldn’t even let the mayor speak. They want action, not words.

So, Mr. Nagin, you’re on notice. The people have spoken and the ball is now in your court to lead on bringing for real solutions to this problem.
