Call in the Guard [Greg Pollowitz 06/19 01:14 PM] Mayor Nagin requests National Guard troops to patrol New Orleans: NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Mayor Ray Nagin asked the governor on Monday to deploy up to 300 National Guard troops and 60 state police officers to patrol the city following a violent weekend in which five people were shot to death. City leaders convened a special meeting to voice outrage that five teenagers were killed Saturday in an area near the central business district. "If we don't have wind knocking us down, we have shooters knocking us down, and that's unacceptable," said City Council President Oliver Thomas. The slayings — plus a fatal stabbing Sunday night in an argument about beer — brought this year's murder toll to 53, raising fears that violence was back on the rise in a city plagued by violent crime before Hurricane Katrina drove residents away last year. Crime has been creeping up since then: 17 killings in the first three months of 2006, but 36 since the start of April. sixers.nationalreview.com
