New Orleans already had a heap of issues before this happened. 2 weeks ago a study was released asking why the murder rate there was 10 times greater than the American average. As an experiment, they had a bunch of off duty/out of uniform police go into a neighbourhood and over the space of an afternoon they fired 700 blanks. There was not a single call to report gunfire. New Orleans was already having crime issues, this disaster just gave the conditions needed to allow things to spiral out of control.
