"E'ybody need a check from FEMA/So he can go and sco' him some co-ca-een-uh"

Those are the lyrics in a song by Juvenile. They're very charming.

NEW ORLEANS, March 29 — The wail of police sirens is back, and gunfire again punctuates the night. As drug dealers move into flood-damaged houses, alarmed residents say that in the last few weeks, they have begun to sense a return to the bad old days before Hurricane Katrina, when crime was an omnipresent straitjacket on life in this city

In Houston, which reported a sharp spike in killings after Hurricane Katrina, police officials say they have noticed a decline since the beginning of the year. Homicides were up 24 percent in 2005, but Houston police officials say the number would have been down 2 percent, absent cases in which either the suspect or the victim was a storm evacuee.

After a nuclear holocaust, there would be three things left on earth: cockroaches, Cher and drug dealers.

The last Katrina on Katrina crime that actually made the news here was when a Katrina evacuee broke into another evacuee’s apartment and then set the entire complex on fire to cover up the crime. It was reported that he stole less then fifty dollars but displaced more then a hundred evacuees from his arson.
