   “I found myself mulling over a discussion in our class in History   
   and Moral Philosophy. Mr. Dubois was talking about the disorders   
   that preceded the breakup of the North American republic, back in   
   the 20th century. According to him, there was a time just before   
   they went down the drain when such crimes as murder were as common   
   as dogfights. The Terror had not been just in North America — Russia   
   and the British Isles had it, too, as well as other places. But it   
   reached its peak in North America shortly before things went to   
   pieces.   
      
   “Law-abiding people,” Dubois had told us, “hardly dared go into a   
   public park at night. To do so was to risk attack by wolf packs of   
   children, armed with chains, knives, home-made guns, bludgeons … to   
   be hurt at least, robbed most certainly, injured for life probably —   
   or even killed. This went on for years, right up to the war between   
   the Russo-Anglo-American Alliance and the Chinese Hegemony. Murder,   
   drug addiction, larceny, assault, and vandalism were commonplace.   
   Nor were parks the only places — these things happened also on the   
   streets in daylight, on school grounds, even inside school   
   buildings. But parks were so notoriously unsafe that honest people   
   stayed clear of them after dark.”   
      
   I had tried to imagine such things happening in our schools, I   
   simply couldn’t. Nor in our parks. A park was a place for fun, not   
   for getting hurt. As for getting killed in one —   
      
   “Mr. Dubois, didn’t they have police? Or courts?”   
      
   “They had many more police than we have. And more courts. All   
   overworked.” – Starship Troopers   
      
   This was a work of fiction in 1959… [New Orleans residents warn   
   ‘don’t sit in your car’ as carjackings spike a shocking 165%, Fox   
   News, March 1, 2023]:   
      
   Carjackings in the Big Easy have skyrocketed over the last three   
   years, more than doubling since before the COVID-19 pandemic,   
   according to city data.   
      
   New Orleans has grappled with increased violent crime in the last   
   few years. It had the most homicides per capita among major U.S.   
   cities in September, earning it the title as the nation’s murder   
   capital before being unseated by the year’s end. And the city’s   
   homicide rate has doubled since 2019, according to the New Orleans   
   City Council’s crime dashboard.   
      
   And carjackings soared, increasing 165% over a three-year period,   
   the dashboard shows. There were 273 incidents last year compared to   
   103 in 2019.   
      
   “You try to park close to your house or where you’re going,” Kelly,   
   of New Orleans, told Fox News. “You don’t sit in your car and play   
   on your phone.”   
      
   Sally, from New Orleans, said people “have to be aware of what’s   
   going on” around them when they leave the house.   
      
   Meanwhile, carjackings in cities such as Philadelphia, Chicago,   
   Washington, D.C., and Minneapolis have also spiked in recent years.   
   The City of Brotherly Love didn’t live up to its name when   
   carjackings increased by 494% since 2019, surpassing 1,300 in 2022,   
   according to the Philadelphia Police Department.

   Almost all gun crime/violent crime in 60% black New Orleans is   
   committed by blacks. Our progeny require us to be honest about black   
   crime and what is has done to America.   
      
   For our posterity, right?
