An interesting perspective
It is becoming clearer each day now that at least a substantial amount of the initial information coming out of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina was either exaggerated or misinformation. One such piece of misinformation was that large numbers of murders were occurring as a result of gunshots.
Commenting yesterday on the fact that only seven gunshot victims had been identified in the autopsies done on the first 650 or so bodies recovered from New Orleans, Coroner Frank Minyard made the following observation:
"Seven gunshots isn't even a good Saturday night in New Orleans."
