You can take a thug out of the hood, but you can’t take the hood out of the thug! And no I’m not saying all Katrina evacuees are thugs. I’m not even saying 25% of them are thugs. But sadly, way too many of them are thugs!

I knew that this would happen. I was just wondering if any news agency would have the guts to actually report it! ABCNews was willing to take the ball on this one.

This is exactly what happens when people are allowed to move in mass to other cities and law enforcement knows that they are coming from a city with a high criminal presence, but those police in the host cities are unable to do criminal checks on entering evacuees! They were not able to do criminal checks because areas that tried had their hands tied by Liberal “Civil Rights” groups that would not allow it and found legal support for their efforts!

Everyone is trying very hard to help the evacuees. As was pointed out by blogger The Political Pit Bull, people are giving them an outpouring that will surpass any other. And the vast majority of evacuees are law abiding people. However, there needs to be a better way to identify criminals entering a city in mass! We know way too many evacuees were on parole or had long criminal records and simply left areas like New Orleans with no forwarding address. Law enforcement needs to be given a means to protect citizens in host cities. By being able to screen masses entering that city before the criminals in the bunch can setup shop! And I’m sure the good people leaving areas like New Orleans would be glad that the thugs are filtered out! It only helps them in their efforts to get back on their feet!
