The sad news is that a mentally ill man has just been killed by Police in Lakeview, New Orleans. The man had been living in an area of New Orleans which was badly affected by Hurricane Katrina and he ordered, at gun point, workers on the federally supplied trailer site to take a trailer to an overgorwn lot in Lakeview.

This whole situation is sad for a number of reasons. First of all, Hurricane Katrina occurred almost 3 years ago and yet large areas of New Orleans are still in a major state of disrepair. I find this to be flabergasting when you consider America is supposed to be the most wealthy country in the world. Yet the government allows people to live in trailer parks for all this time.

Secondly, you hear all the time about people who have mental problems but for whatever reason haven’t received treatment. I don’t know if anyone is to blame for this specifically but it might be a lesson to us all to ensure that loved ones get mental help if they need it. By doing so, preventing tragedies like this might actually be possible.
