Responding to a request from newly re-elected Mayor Ray Nagin, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco is sending in the National Guard to restore order. Almost 10 months after Katrina, and things still aren't going too well. Have you EVER heard of the National Guard being sent to a city almost 10 months after a hurricane to restore order? Of course not .. but then this is New Orleans.
The guard was sent in response to six murders over the weekend. Five teenagers were shot and killed in an SUV, apparently over drugs or something important like who's rap start has tighter braids . Another man was stabbed to death over beer. So the mayor had it...and realizing the police were overwhelmed, asked for help. Probably not a bad idea considering the circumstances. In fact, this could be one of the few right things Nagin has done while in office.
But how about the irony of liberal Democrats admitting they have no control over their population? All of a sudden, you have politicians on the left calling for law and order...priceless. Gone is the talk of crime being caused by poverty or some other social ill being forced on society by the Bush Administration. That's another thing...nowhere in Nagin's request for the National Guard did he blame the lawlessness on George W. Bush, although I'm sure that's coming.
So the troops are back in the Chocolate City....it would seem the recovery from Katrina is further off still.
