3. Why not Shreveport?

Oh, Republican mayor. Never mind.

And then there's this (as expected, it's the Democrats/Soros that are to blame):

Speaker Mike Johnson says Shreveport 'Democratic DA' is to blame for high crime

When asked about crime in Caddo Parish, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson said the "Democratic DA" is not prosecuting as he should.

Johnson appeared on CNN News Central on Friday and addressed the possibility of bringing the National Guard to Shreveport and Caddo Parish after FBI crime statistics showed that the violent crimes per 100,000 residents in 2024 were higher in the city than in Washington, D.C.

“There’s a lot of good work that’s been done. There are a lot of reasons for that. But, we have a Democratic DA there who has not been prosecuting crime as some other more aggressive DAs have around the country,” Johnson said. Billionaire George “Soros funded that individual to be elected. But, I’ll say that, you know, it’s an urban area that has a lot of problems that are happening around the country, and we have to address it.”
