When Sen Kennedy said it was safer to walk down the streets of Mogadishu. It reminded me of something I did many years ago. When I returned from Vietnam and honorably discharged. I saw many things happening in this country that would make anyone feel unsafe. So I found myself standing in a recruiters office after a short break in service. Make a long story short I told him I wanted to reenlist. He asked me why? That's when I said I feel safer in a firefight with my brothers than I do on the streets of my home town. I had not been out that long and there were some things I wanted. Conditions. I got them and in less than 30 days later I was stationed in the 2nd Infantry Division Korea.

"Latoya the Destroyer" That's her nickname in New Orleans. I recently worked in New Orleans and was kinda STUNNED at its condition. Homelessness. Open drug abuse and sales in front of police no less i literally watched it happen. Theft and crime everywhere. Whole freaking sideways covered in broken car door glass front brake ins. It's freaking horrible and the Destroyer literally sits in courtrooms with defending REPEATED offenders while victims cry their way through horror stories and sits with the criminals consoling them.... Its called "weaponized government." It's all done on purpose.

I do not live within the boundries of New Orleans, I live across the river. But, whenever someone ask me where I am from, I always reply " New Orleans "! I am so very proud to be from the New Orleans area, always have. The politicians that have served in New Orleans I have no respect for, and I can say that because whenever they enforce, raise sales taxes, etc. it always finds it's way to my area. The past few Mayors who have served, especially the one in office now, does not know how to lead a community like New Orleans. The one reason a city such as New Orleans can be going downhill is the leadership. Either they are corrupt, or they are ignorant! Listen to Sen. Kennedy, I truly believe he cares for his district. Until proven otherwise, I see him as one of the most honest politicians there is, and there don't seem to be many!

Same. I loved New Orleans. I was born there and have always been very proud to say I was. My parents would bring us to Bourbon street during Mardi Gras and we would go to the Old Absentee (I am spelling it wrong I’m sure) House. They let children in and we would run around getting quarters for the Jukebox. We would go down the street and watch the parade on Canal and go back to the bar get some money and go get some corn on the cob at a street vendor. We would sit on the sidewalk and eat our corn and watch the people go by. All the while our parents were in the bar drinking. That’s how safe it was. We we’re probably six and seven years old. My brother was born on Mardi Gras Day in 1958. I was born on his birthday a year later. So every now and then we have a birthday on Mardi Gras day. We got lost once or so the people that found us thought and they put us up on some stands so our parents could see us and we all continued to watch the parade. I moved out of state in my 20’s and while I was away I had to come home every Mardi Gras. In the 90’s it started to feel different. We had moved back and I still would go. But then one year I was on Bourbon after dark on Mardi Gras day. It was so crowded you had to go with the flow. Peoples hand were touching where they should not have been. I was with my uncle who was close to my age and I told him to get off this street as soon as he could. I don’t care how dark the alley was just get off the street. So I never have gone back to Bourbon after dark. Anyway we continued to go but only if I got hotel rooms for the weekend and stuff so we didn’t have to make the drive across the lake as we didn’t live in the city. Also it is just special waking up in New Orleans on Mardi Gras day. Going out before daybreak watching all the excitement of everyone getting ready and catching a glimpse of the skeletons. I no longer go as I am unable to physically. But I don’t think I would as it does not feel the same as it did. Latoya is from California so that should explain a lot about her. There was a black woman running against her. I would have voted for her if I lived in the city. I forget her name but she was well spoken unlike Latoya and was from New Orleans. Latoya talks ghetto. Sometimes she also sounds like a preacher the way she goes on. I was surprised they voted her in. MardiGras this year she flipped the bird at a float in a parade. That kind of tells you a lot about her. No class whatsoever. She is horrible.
Thank you for your stance. Its perfectly directed. You're one of those Great American people who made our service worth it.

On the TV show Blue Bloods, back in 2011 the new mayor was asking all departments to proposed budgets with cuts. The commissioner said the first option was to quietly tell his cops to stand down, but they would then have to deal with the increase in crime. This is not a new play book.
