New Orleans had the highest homicide rate of any major city so far this year, with about 41 homicides per 100,000 residents, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of the organization’s data, collected from most of the nation’s largest law-enforcement departments. The homicide rate was 11.5 in Chicago, 4.8 in Los Angeles and 2.4 per 100,000 in New York City for the same period.

This year to date, the New Orleans homicide rate is up 141% compared with the same period in 2019, according to the Metropolitan Crime Commission Inc., a nonprofit that works to reduce crime in the city. Shootings are up 100%, carjackings 210% 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.

So the Robert E. Lee statue wasn't the source of the city's crime wave?

I guess black lives don't matter in the Big Easy or better named the Big Deadly.

And the mayor remains completely unconcerned with such trivial matters.

Yay Democrats. Way to do adulting.

Not ab expert on this stuff by any means…. But I think New Orleans can defend this title for a few years.

The stats clearly show that the statues actually kept crime down.

Mitch Landrieu and the Obama administration consent decree gutted the nopd. The bad guys know it's open season.

It’s especially bad considering New Orleans is in the same country as St Louis, Baltimore/DC, Birmingham, Chicago, Detroit, and Oakland
