Listen "Fighting Crime In Louisiana / Celebrating Our Independence"
Episode Synopsis
Louisiana is ranked 50th in fighting crime, the lowest of the low. Much of that has been driven by homicides in New Orleans, which reached an all-time high in 2022 (though murders have fallen in the last two years).Hy and Christopher speak to Irv Magri, President of Crimefighters of Louisiana as well as the founding president of the PANO, about the rising incidents of crime and what can be done to arrest them. Magri speaks of the successes that he had as President of the LA Pardon Board, and how abandonment of the policies which he had championed have helped drive the rise in homicides. We also speak about how Crimefighters offers free counseling and legal aid to the victims of crime.To conclude the show, in honor of independence week, Hy speaks on the legacy of Patrick Henry.
