You'll notice that both these stories have similar settings. Do you think there's something strange about the fact that we still identify areas by their "former" names? Are the ghosts over there that strong? NOMB says yeppers.
A 19-year-old New Orleans man was shot to death Friday on an Annunciation Street sidewalk in a neighborhood of mixed-income homes where the St. Thomas public housing complex was located, police said.
The New Orleans Police Department on Saturday found the body of a woman with a gunshot to the head lying in a grassy area along Press Drive near Higgins Boulevard, near the former Desire public housing complex. Police, who responded around 1:30 p.m., did not identify the victim.

Blah, Blah, Blah
There's been some shootings, there's been some stabbings. There was a mob in front of the Welcome Home Center grabbing at the social workers, being egged on by FEMA. Yadda Yadda Yadda.
Also:
A 4-year-old boy died after accidentally shooting himself in the head Monday in a Kenner home, police said.
you know, just to brighten up your summer.

White People Kill Too,
Apparently,
It would sure be a surprise to see these faces plastered on Claiborne. Even though, we suppose, they did their killing in Jefferson.
On a side note, domestic violence still the hot new thing.
New Orleans police have booked a man with negligent homicide after his 4-year-old son died on Father's Day, three days after apparently being left in a hot car, authorities said.

Such it goes
more of the same, but this time, the good guys
A would-be carjacker found himself on the receiving end of several bullets after one of his intended victims successfully wrestled away the gun and shot him, all in the drive-thru line of a Metairie fast food restaurant.

The complaints
Several folks have mentioned to NOMB that the blog is, and the very concept of it is also, terrible (horrible, vicious, etc)
Allow us a moment...
1:A 19-year-old was stabbed to death in the first slaying in St. Bernard Parish in almost two years. The victim, Frederick Luwisch, and the attacker, Merlin Brown, 20, were arguing over a woman about 6 p.m. Friday. Police said Brown grabbed a kitchen knife from his truck and stabbed Luwisch once in the chest. Luwisch collapsed and died.
2:The first shooting, in Central City, occurred about 6:30 p.m. in the 2200 block of Josephine Street, between Simon Bolivar Avenue and South Liberty Street.
3:About two hours later Sunday, another fatal shooting occurred in the 1900 block of Esplanade Avenue, between North Prieur and North Johnson streets, at the border between the 7th Ward and the 6th Ward.
4:A man was shot to death around 4 a.m. Sunday, the New Orleans Police Department reported. The unidentified man was found lying in the street at Gordon and Urquhart Streets by Fifth District officers responding to a report of shots being fired in the area. He had a gunshot wound to the head
The fact is, this blog, which reposts the majority of its reports from other sources doesn't even include the non-fatal shootings, stabbings, beatings, robberies, assualts that occur everyday in mass here in the NO. Don't forget where we live, becasue we can't. And we want it to get better.
