I just got in the door and I sat down, turned on the tv, checked my e-mail and noticed that on CBS's 48 Hours, the show is called Storm of Murder. It's about the crime in New Orleans Post Katrina. I'll blog more after the show.
So, i was in tears watching this show. They focused on two murders -- two senseless murders. The one murder was that of Helen Hill. The other was that of Dinerral Shavers.
When I was there, I noticed the "Thou Shall Not Kill" signs. Now I understand a little more why they've been posted.
New Orleans is suffering friends. The police are down 500 officers, the courts are inefficient and people are getting away with murder (and they know this).
Pray for the people of this city. Christ's light needs to shine on this darkness.
