You got a zillion guns and very little police enforcement in the city with the highest murder rate in America – who wouldn’t carjack? It’s got to the point in New Orleans that just, say, beating up an old guy and taking his car doesn’t rise to the level of a crime.
Michael Casey, owner of Liberty Cheesecakes, was on a date in a wealthy area of the city when he witnessed an older man being beaten during a carjacking.
The police arrived relatively quickly, he said, but when Mr Casey pointed out the attacker, they wouldn’t go after him. An officer advised the victim to buy a gun, Mr Casey said.
Everybody get a gun, y’all! Shoot-out city!
