[StBernard] crime

[Westley Annis]

Maybe Craig or Westley or someone with the police department can answer me. 
I'm trying to find out how safe it is in the parish. My brother is a 
contractor working down there and he said he and most of the other 
contractors he knows have started to carry guns for protection. He said 
working in deserted neighborhoods is dangerous, walking up on people looting

in houses and thugs confronting the mexicans that are gutting, jumping them 
and stealing their money because the thugs  know they carry cash on them and

are not likely to report anything. This has happened to some of his workers.

He said don't go alone and carry a gun if you do go. Is this right?? My 
concern is for my daughter that misses home and likes to go visit. She wants

to go look at her old house and the homes of her friends and just be in the 
parish. She goes with her boyfriend, they are 17 and 18 years old. I don't 
want her to go. Is it safe for her to be there?  My brother's house has been

looted 3 times and mine twice so far. We both have 2 story houses but I 
think they are looting 1 story houses also. When I go, I never see any 
security or police. My mother in law has had her red cross starter kid 
stolen from her FEMA trailer. Can anyone tell me about the safely of the 
parish for my daughter and myself?  She and I have been there several times 
and I got a strange and erie feeling. It was just my immagination, just so 
silent, but maybe I should listen to my inner voice. Is it safe?
