Progressives in top city leadership positions have helped transform New Orleans into the murder capital of America.

WSJ reported the Louisiana city on the Mississippi River, near the Gulf of Mexico, recorded the highest homicide rate of any major city so far this year, with 41 homicides per 100,000 residents.

Metropolitan Crime Commission Inc., a nonprofit that works on crime-reducing strategies in the city, said the homicide rate is up 141% compared with the same period in 2019. It pointed out carjackings are up 210%, shootings 100%, and armed robberies up 25%.

“The homicide rate is on pace to surpass last year’s rate, which was the worst since Hurricane Katrina in 2005,” WSJ noted.
Hey, we won something . Don't remind me. But it has less to do with progressive than it does straight flat-out incompetence and nonperformance in office. Folks don't get stuck on that party stuff mostly. Cantrell is in over her head and has personalized being called out on it. Teedy makes Mayor Ray Nagin look tolerable and cannot even say the word "crime" in most interviews. Seriously. But it's long beyond the point of simply the politicians making the cure. She gotta go
