The ridiculous violence in N.O.

The problem here is that the same residents would rise up in massive protest if a policeman accidently shot a teenage shoplifter for mistaking a motion that he was going for a gun, or a neighborhood watch guy that shot someone, probabably/possibly out of self defence, but remain silent when folks in their own neighbors are gunning down 5 year old girls and shooting 10 year old boys in the face. If large groups of law abiding citizens would come togather and patrol neighborhoods with the help of police, this mess would move on out of their neighborhoods. This can be stopped, but folks in these neighborhoods have to get off their couches and help police take back their neighborhoods. If not, the police will just try to contain it within those neighborhoods and more and more children will die.
