Would that be a good idea for every big city that has a problem of that kind? Places like Chicago,Newark,Detroit,Washington D.C.,Gary,Los Angeles.

I say it's a damn good idea. Maybe it will get the good citizens attention. If they see it everyday maybe it will wake them up to the fact that they, and only they,are the ones that can do something about the problem.

NYC did that as well. Newsday would place the "handgun" totals in the paper everyday with a little blurb about the facts like age, method of murder etc. It helped raise public awareness and probably lead to the outcry against NYC's high murder rate in the early 1990's. That led to the ouster of the do nothing mayor dinkins and the election of Rudy Giuliani who cleaned the city up and now murder rates are at historic lows.
New Orleans has become a cesspool. The population is less than half of pre katrina yet crime is 40% higher. that is unreal. There have been mass executions...literally lining people up against the wall and shooting them. The liberal media doesn't cover it because after all the money given to new orleans, the New Orleans government and Ray "chocolate City" "did nothing but blame everyone else" Nagin, The city is a modern day sodom and gomorah.

Sure brings attention to the issue.
As for "Email" and the comment that hiring more officers lowers the standards......hogwash! You"re STILL required by state law to hire and train to the states minimum standards of training!

here in Baltimore we've had 200+ murders this year, and climbing. they want to hire more police, but to do that they lower the standard and hire anybody. it doesn't solve the problem either. it takes a generation. it takes education and job opportunities for the poor. it takes communities coming together, grass roots. the solution won't come from the top.

It's not like its a big secret. Nagin wanted a chocolate city and it appears he got one. From what I've read, many of the victims are illegals.
