    It means a lot to hear an elected representative of a state advocate for the people of his state. I have a lot of respect for John Kennedy.

    This speech made me cry. Why do we have to beg for safety? It's not right.

    Time to take our country back from this madness

    Of the 24 cities with the highest crime rate in America, 23 are governed by Democrats (including New Orleans).

    As a former New Orleanian, I wasn’t at all surprised when the populace failed to recall the pitiful excuse for a mayor we have there. You can’t save people who don’t want to be saved.

    Unfortunately Democratic run city's like New Orleans and Chicago,ect,ect will only get more and more dangerous.

    The Mayor of New Orleans is as smart as a post! She was asked why she thought her murder & crime rate was highest among all other Major Cities in the United States? HER ANSWER..... "Well 1st of all..we had to deal with COVID!" Just let that sit with you for a moment.

    I met the Mayor years ago when she was a Councilwoman. She’s arrogant and above reproach (in her mind), that’s a dangerous combination.

    God forbid someone actually holds these large city mayors accountable for their inaction on rampant out of control crime

    My opinion, this Senator is one of the best in the Senate.

    Senator John Kennedy has the down home common sense and intelligence that I wish all our politicians had.

    When Sen Kennedy said it was safer to walk down the streets of Mogadishu. It reminded me of something I did many years ago. When I returned from Vietnam and honorably discharged. I saw many things happening in this country that would make anyone feel unsafe. So I found myself standing in a recruiters office after a short break in service. Make a long story short I told him I wanted to reenlist. He asked me why? That's when I said I feel safer in a firefight with my brothers than I do on the streets of my home town. I had not been out that long and there were some things I wanted. Conditions. I got them and in less than 30 days later I was stationed in the 2nd Infantry Division Korea.

    Why have investigators if a certain group of people committing 99% of the crimes aren't getting investigated?

    New Orleans residents voted for this. They got the Mayor and City Council they deserve. It’s a shame, but hey, Waller in it y’all!

    This is breaking my heart. Senator Kennedy is such a gentleman. But even he knows crime is winning in the great city of New Orleans. He’s begging for the mayor to do the right thing.
