Housing and Violence

Dec 20, 2007 by

EDIT/UPDATE: There is a very worthwhile discussion of this going on in the New Orleans LiveJournal Community Here END UPDATE 

As we go back and forth over the issue of public housing in New Orleans we get the joy of scenes like the one currently being enacted downtown. It seems that things have tipped in the direction of violence between protesters and police down at the City Council.

Why is it that we, as a species, cannot seem to escape the urge to be just plain shitty?

Joy.

Joy to the [CENSORED] world.
