Can anyone say that taking down those statues made a significant difference in New Orleans in terms of crime data? Is it still too early to tell?

Didn’t you hear? NOLA hasn’t had any crime in months, everyone leaves their doors unlocked and says hello to each other at the grocery

Is there any data at all to back this up? Seems like it could be a great slam on Mitch during a debate.

I vote that in 2018, we give NOLA a break. New mayor is going to make some changes for the better. Can at least give her a chance.

Well, Lee's circle looks like a giant dick rising out of the ground. Beauregards former pedestal is a complete eyesore. And people are still getting robbed at knife point in the French quarter.

So nope. Hasn't changed for the better

Literally made no difference for anyone that isn’t a race baiter. Literally nothing yet they spent millions on it. And they wonder why this country is going the way it’s going

Correlation =/= causation, but there was a dramatic drop in murders once the statues came down.

There’s 1 thing you gotta take out of NOLA for it to get better, and it ain’t statues

Anyone with a functioning brain knew it was politically motivated to help Mitch's future plans, whatever they may be.

What new people did he win over though? Seems like he probably alienated a lot more potential voters than won over new voters.
