Mayor Nagin is not New Orleans' worst problem
It was not the mayor or the police or the judges who committed all those murders in New Orleans. The people in New Orleans need to recognize that and do something themselves. The march on City Hall was a start this week, but come on! If a man kills his woman or vice versa, how can the mayor or the "system" prevent that? If a sociopath decides to shoot a man, woman and child, how can that be forseen and prevented -- unless, of course, said sociopath was already known to the "system." It seems to me that whether we are talking New Orleans or Newark, we are ignoring the power that individuals can have in monitoring what is happening in their own families, on their blocks, in their broader communities. If you see something, say something. DO SOMETHING.
