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 . . . .

Oh come on, none of that stuff is specific to New Orleans and other cities have citizens who manage to respond when 700 shots are fired into the air.

3 things:

1) First of all, I never said it was specific to NO.

2) This type of tragedy is specific to NO, in recent times, and what, are you speaking of the LA riots? Great response, lol.

3) Show me where the "over your head" smilie is, please.
