If the 9th ward were not part of the City itself, New Orleans would NOT be even in the top 10 in murders. The 9th ward is incapable of generating its own police force and municipalities so the bill failed. If you ever look at a crime map of the City, 2 or 3 neighborhoods account for the majority of crime and murder. |

And I can tell you that even though I've been to some really shady areas in f.e. New York and Washington during night - I'd rather take my chances there than in some parts of Helsinki. |
