New Orleans has now recorded at least its 151st murder of the year.
The latest murder occurred Monday morning. It was the fourth murder in three days.
In what is being viewed by insiders as a desperate move to stem the out-of-control crime wave NOPD Superintendent Warren Riley has ordered that the air be changed in the tires of all the patrol cars. Police spokesmen refuse to say why Riley has made this move saying that such disclosure would only serve to alert the bad guys.
Meanwhile, the City Council continues its own efforts at stopping crime by more secret discussions regarding air-conditioning repairs at the police stations. No word from the council spokesman about progress in their crime fighting efforts because the council has yet to hire a spokesman.
Mayor Ray Nagin is said to be in meetings with his staff to discuss how to commemorate the city’s 151st murder. Text messages emanating from the meetings indicate that Nagin is looking at a $2 Million “Unknown Perpetrator” monument. The monument will be designed and constructed by an out-of-state firm.
Recovery Czar Dr. Ed Blakely has called for an emergency bicycle tour of the city to determine an appropriate location for the monument. Blakely is said to be considering a site near the Super Dome in order to maximize national television exposure to “keep the brand out there.”
