New Orleans City Council Unanimously Support Public Housing Demolition

Everyone has heard by now that the New Orleans city council has approved demolition of four public housing complexes in New Orleans. Sure, some protesters were physically beaten but they have vowed to keep on fighting.

Endesha Juakali, a protest leader arrested on a charge of disturbing the peace, said Thursday's confrontation with the council was not the last breath from protesters.

"For everything they do, we have to make them pay a political consequence," Juakali said. He vowed that when the bulldozers try to demolish the St. Bernard complex, "it's going to be an all out effort."

For weeks, protesters have been gearing up to battle with bulldozers and have discussed a variety of tactics, including lying in front of the machinery.

Let's see what the 'political consequence' will be. Do politicians, in New Orleans, ever have to face political consequences for their actions?
