More on this story from two days ago.
[NYPOST] New Orleans has overtaken St. Louis as the murder capital of America as the city sees a 141% increase in homicides when compared to recent years.

According to data from the Metropolitan Crime Commission, an organization that tracks crime and also tries to bring it down, there have been 52 homicides per 100,000 residents as of Sept. 11.

In St. Louis, there have been almost 45 homicides per 100,000 residents as of Sept. 17, according to data from the St. Louis Police Department.

By comparison, there have been almost 18 homicides in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
per 100,000 residents and 3.5 in New York City.

Homicides in New Orleans are up 141% when compared to 2019 and up 78% when compared to 2021, according to the data, which states that there have been 205 homicides in the city from the beginning of 2022 until Sept. 11.

New Orleans has also seen a 100% increase in shootings in 2022 when compared to 2019.

On Sept. 8, officials in New Orleans announced an $80 million plan to increase pay for coppers, offer free health care, and $30,000 in increased hiring incentives for new hires within the department.

#6 Soros backed DAs and corrupt mayors can only do so much. I would like to acknowledge the contributions made by the petty thugs who do that thankless chore of committing the actual murders. The big wigs get recognition, but this dramatic increase in homicides could never been achieved without the little guys and their commitment to senseless evil on a daily basis or, in some cases, just on the weekends.

#8 I'd still like to know what Soros gets out of this.

Is he that committed to turning the USA into a 3rd world hell hole? Gates too for that matter.

#9 i suspect that Soros and other are actually believers (or you might say victims) of their own propaganda.

I've had discussions with lefties on this.

#10 The easiest explanation is that we he states that his goal is to destroy America, he is trying to destroy America.
