Homeless Neighbors In New Orleans Deserve Whatever Measure of Safety This City Can Offer Them
Homeless neighbors deserve whatever measure of safety this city can offer them, starting with permanent shelter but definitely some semblance of physical safety on the streets.
Re: NOPD: Teens beat, robbed homeless men in French Quarter
As if being homeless weren't bad enough, insult to injury is being pistol whipped and scant possessions thrown into the 'Mighty Mississippi' river.
The youth of these attackers suggests possessing many more brutal decades.
Not an encouraging thought.
Attacking homeless people isn't a great statement on your contribution to society. In fact, it should be grounds for life imprisonment for preying on our most vulnerable community members.
You'll note a pronounced absence of shock in this post.
When allowed free reign to commit violent community treason, the target checklist can include even those who literally have nothing.
Frankly, the fact assaults on the homeless aren't happening more often in New Orleans is a function of greed-the homeless have nothing to take-and not any sense of empathy.
From my fingertips to God's ear I type this plea: may fickle local liberal judges and prosecutors do the unlikely and pursue maximum penalties in this case.
