The scene was so chaotic, with wounded people being taken to several different hospitals that investigators haven't been able to find and interview all the wounded people, Tervalon said.

This happened in beautiful Bogalusa, one of the ugliest and most depressing cities in the state. The case is interesting an actual who dunnit. This shooting would seem to frame it as being connected with on going ‘tension’ between a pretty large group of black people who came up after Katrina and remained at the local ‘boyz in da hood’.

“Police haven’t had a witness come forward to give them a better description of the shooting and have made no arrests, Tervalon said.”

This sort of stuff is no longer lost in the din of life. People who once heard about current events are seeing them now.

Leftism is on display with a captive, invested audience. This dempanic pandemic may be the end of the party of lies and slavery.

I blame racism and the legacy of white supremacy.
