 The murder of cab driver Monier Gindy on January 4, 2007, in Marrero, Louisiana, was not an isolated incident.Ever since Hurricane Katrina in 2005, cab drivers have increasingly been the targets of criminals terrorizing the New Orleans metropolitan area.The president of United Cab discourages his drivers from carrying firearms, instead advising them to accelerate the car and crash into a lamppost or even a police car if they are threatened with a gun.
