exfire, you are a cowards. Just like those other cowards who get on this website and live out their racist thoughts, but, it goes to show all of you, the type of animals that exist in new orleans and the surrounding areas, but I tell all of you something, anytime, anywhere, I will meet a coward, and I won't hide behind a user name. This is my real name!!!!

brokeithx - just wondering what you call these folks that are shooting each other. Just so there is no misunderstanding, I really don't care what color they are - if someone kills they are no better than an animal.

Another drug-related hit. Incredible that normal brain function can become so dysfunctional. How can these murderers feel no remorse? Where is the conscience? They have killed three (possibly four) human beings just as easily as if they had swatted flies on a wall. Very disturbing. Sorry for the families . .

the world has to become a better place one day...think about it this is ppl children life ur taking...somebody gotta have a heart...praying for the family

jeffeatstwood, thanks for the english lesson... but it's all about the message. People are so judgemental, I agree with you stopthemadness GOD HELP US!!!

The perps are not animals....Let's not demean our fauna. They are lower than animals. Even animals of a given species have enough sense to not kill each other for no good reason. Hey, I say build a wall around the lot and let them kill each other off - to extinction. That way the problem will take care of itself with the innocent, hard-working, moral, constructive members of society do not get caught up in the cross-fire.
