A woman who went to the hospital in critical condition Tuesday after being wounded in a double shooting in the Plum Orchard neighborhood of New Orleans East is City Council member Oliver Thomas's niece, Thomas said Wednesday on his morning talk show on WBOK-AM.
“Two young girls were shot up with over 50 bullets yesterday. One died," said an audibly shaken Thomas, who stopped to collect himself before proceeding. "Fortunately, my niece didn’t. Fortunately, she can still fight for her life.”
Thomas said his niece was shot twice in the head at around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at a tire shop in the 7100 block of Chef Menteur Highway. Witnesses said more than 40 rounds were shot into the vehicle where the women were sitting.

I'm tired of there being so many senseless murders and sincerely hope everyone starts using alternate routes moving forward.

That's horrible.
My alternate route will bypass the whole state of Louisiana via Arkansas.

“So when four young men jump out of a car at 3:30 and shoot up a car with two young women in it and my niece was driving her boyfriend’s car..." he said, trailing off. “She didn’t listen. She didn’t date the right boys or the right young men. She didn’t make all the right choices. But her friend didn’t deserve to die, and she doesn’t deserve a bullet in her head and her face. Nobody deserves that.”

Get out.

Thomas’ comments are surprisingly introspective and honest and not avoiding the issues:
quote:
“I’m not blaming the police like some people will. I’m not blaming no politician. I’m blaming us. Maybe our families aren’t right. Maybe we’re not raising our kids with the values and the care they should have.” Thomas paused. “Maybe I wasn’t the best uncle.”
quote:
"When every week we hear about people being shot at graduations, gas stations, when you talk about that level of indiscriminate violence, if plans continue to fail, you have to put everything on the table," he said in a June interview.

These 'urban criminal elements' are beginning to 'impact' many who just assumed/thought they were immune/safe. HOPEFULLY, we'll actually see some TANGIBLE efforts to reign in these feral ANIMALS ! No more empty PR proclamations !!

Honestly, I'm surprised.
He echoes my thoughts regarding shite like this.

That’s the only way this gets better. Black people are not inherently bad or animalistic. They’re going to have to take responsibility for killing whatever cancer is in that culture that’s causing young people to glorify violence and not value human life.

It takes a great deal of fortitude to be introspective on the tail end of something that would send most normally rational people into a fit of rage.

The City of New Orleans can start by stopping and impounding every single illegal license plate on the back of cars that they see. Confiscate the vehicle
