He was apparently here in Louisville, KY yesterday discussing the removal of Confederate statues. At the Free Public Library.

quote:

In a discussion centered around Confederate statues and the lasting legacy of racism, Mayor Greg Fischer and the former mayor of New Orleans looked to the future, weighing steps both cities must take to move forward.

Mitch Landrieu, who was mayor when New Orleans removed the last Confederate statues in the city, said Wednesday at the Lean Into Louisville event that in rebuilding the city after Hurricane Katrina, he sought to "be more of our real selves."

"What we wanted to do was build it back the way it should've been, if everybody would've had a shot at saying what it should've been, and if we would've gotten it right the first time," Landrieu said.

Part of that, he said, was removing the lasting Confederate statues.

When that happens, when monuments to the past are removed, history isn't erased, Landrieu said. When that happens, the opportunity for art to reflect all of history is opened up.

New Orleans removed another statue when Mitch's time as mayor was through because he just stood there and didn't do $hit.

I'm going to stick his arse in the mail with a return to sender stamp.

Thankfully it was during spring break here so it was probably just a couple "community organizers" there.

Nah you can keep him


Also, statue removal and ER trauma training by marine and front line army medics, but mainly statue removal reduces murder rate. Does nothing for violent crime rates but murder rate will decrease

Just embrace the statue removal, it will cure all of your city's ills: Crime gone, poverty gone, failing infrastructure gone, uneducated youth gone, budget deficit gone. It was the best thing to ever happen to the city of New Orleans(the actual city not talking about the train)

Homicides in Nola hit a 40 year low last year. Those statues must be working.

He will respond when he finishes moving the field goal posts.

Crime has been falling across the city though. Lot of efforts may be paying off or it could be unrelated.

I'm sure it was the statues, 100% had to be the statues. I just need an explanation on why murders and crime are down across the rest of the country.

Murder hit a 40 year low, but what about violent crime and attempted murders?

Remeber, the mayor before Naygan also had low crime, because they quit reporting them

Mail him to Baton Rouge instead - then he'll just get tossed in a storm drain with the rest of the mail.
