Quote:


Experts say the trend in the city that's home to the popular French Quarter exists for several reasons -- drugs, too few police, inexperienced prosecutors, and residents staying quiet because they fear retaliation.




I would suggest different reasons: The War on Drugs, too many anti-gun laws, tainted legal system that insists on prosecuting victimless crime thereby causing more violent crime, etc . . . .
