New Orleans – Mayor Mitch Landrieu, DemocratA death toll of 500 is horrific, but other places fare worse. What is interesting is the party affiliation of the various mayors in the worst crime cities in the US.
St. Louis – Mayor Francis G. Slay, Democrat
Detroit – Mayor Mike Duggan, Democrat
Baltimore – Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Democrat (and DNC leader)
Newark – Mayor Ras J. Baraka, Democrat
Is anyone starting to see a trend?

Voodoo.
Dead voters arise and start voting. Obvious answer: Voodoo
Inanimate objects start killing people. Obvious answer: Voodoo
Economic thinking that marginal outcomes will reverse direction when enough cubic yards of $100 bills are dumped on the problem. Obvious answer: Voodoo.

Giving people the sustenance to live; food, shelter, medical care; DOESN'T make them middle class and incapable of killing each other. All it does it upgrades them from rocks and sticks to guns.

Chicago has had Democratic mayors since the 20s, but the last Republican mayor, Big Bill Thompson, was the guy who handed Chicago over to Al Capone.
Chicago's problems go much deeper than partisan politics.
