12:33 am
a story about finding solutions. you tolerate as unable. to tolerate as an adult children have to see this day after day. and it day. and one nine hundred sixty new orleans had his largest population and as small as murder rate but in the course of fifty years over ten thousand people have been murdered and since two thousand and five more people have been killed than those who lost their lives when the levees broke. at this moment there is a battle being waged each and every day on the streets of new orleans it is a battle for the heart and soul of this great city by the time you wake up tomorrow morning i will have likely received another message. the worst part of my day that says exactly the same thing mr mayor was sorry to inform you that earlier this
