We were here before the United States, and have learned a few simple things. In New Orleans, we have a very high murder rate, often highest in the nation. We favor it.
The failure I see here is arresting the shooter. What a waste. If just left alone, he and a half dozen like him would be dead in a year at no cost. We lose 400 a year that we find the bodies, and maybe three times that if you count the missing. Finding bodies is important, quickly, later when they are released if claimed, they are missing corneas, livers, hearts, large pieces of skin, sections of bone, marrow, we call it due process.
No court costs, prison costs, and we get to keep the good chunks.
Some things you cannot change, only manage. About one out of a thousand in any year, maybe three. We could find all the murders, and for one to three billion dollars a year send them to prison for life, for killing people costs more. Getting them off the streets would make it safe for other street trash to rise, it is endless. It is a self solving problem. The spare parts go to the same racial group from which they came.
If they cross the line and kill outside their neighborhood, tourists, festival goers, store clerks, they are often tracked, and found dead. Reprisals are swift and sure. Some are annoying, they show up at the DAs office with their mother and a lawyer, and plead guilty. They cost $1,000,000 and do nothing other than provide employment for prison guards.
Other people from the same neighborhoods go to college, we do have a tuition plan, make Bs, you get a free ride as far as you can go. It is the same money that would go to a prison system.
We are a backward people, perhaps you should try it.
