A Denham Springs man was arrested and booked with committing a hate crime after authorities say he used racial slurs while threatening people with a knife in Marrero. Trinity Vitrano, 41, was also booked with illegally carrying a weapon and aggravated assault, according to a Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office arrest report.

A deputy was dispatched to the 6200 block of South Judah Drive in Marrero just before 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday (April 1) after 911 operators received calls reporting a man armed with a knife and threatening people. Witnesses told the deputy that they spotted an unidentified man arguing with a woman inside of a vehicle at the location, the arrest report said.

The witnesses were concerned about the woman and went over to check on her. When they did, the witnesses told deputies the man pulled a knife, pointed it at them and said, "Mind your f--king business you black n----r b--ches. Go back inside," according to the arrest report.

The defense attorney will claim that the law violates his client’s freedom of speech and the charges will be dropped.

But a black punk punching a white guy who refused to engage him in a condemnation of the Ferguson police isn't a hate crime.

I thoroughly despise our popular culture now.

Threatening. Just a crime. Saying racial slurs now that’s rereeeeaaaally a crime.
Saying racial slurs without threatening. That’s a rreeeaaaallly bad crime.

I was born in Marrero and grew up there.

White folks dying out very quickly. A lot of old Italian neighborhoods there. It was nice farmland in the 40s and 50s, but has gone down ever since. Gangs and ghettos now.

The river needs to wash that place away. Nothing good comes from there.

” Vitrano was released Thursday without paying any amount because of crowding at the jail. “

Hey, it’s still Louisiana, man.
