Murder and Mayhem in New Orlean's Miserable Shelter: Lessons from the Dome

Valenti and her husband, two of very few white people in the almost exclusively black refugee camp, said she and other whites were threatened with murder on Thursday.

"They hated us. Four young black men told us the buses were going to come last night and pick up the elderly so they were going to kill us," she said, sobbing. "They were plotting to murder us and then they sent the buses away because we would all be killed if the buses came -- that's what the people in charge told us this morning."

Other survivors recounted horrific cases of sexual assault and murder.

Sitting with her daughter and other relatives, Trolkyn Joseph, 37, said men had wandered the cavernous convention center in recent nights raping and murdering children.

She said she found a dead 14-year old girl at 5 a.m. on Friday morning, four hours after the young girl went missing from her parents inside the convention center.

"She was raped for four hours until she was dead," Joseph said through tears. "Another child, a seven-year old boy was found raped and murdered in the kitchen freezer last night."

But they don't see it as a disaster. They see it as an opportunity.

"In Confusion There Is Profit!"... (spoken by Tony Curtis in the movie OPERATION PETTICOAT).

A phrase which I am certain describes mankind throughout thousands of years of history!

lol...I understand what you are saying...not to worry.

But absence of comment by public officials doesn't blind the thinking populace

True but unfortunately most of the population doesn't do a whole lot of thinking. They believe what they hear.

And why would a National Guardsman say go to Iraq?

Because he volunteered to.

Now, I wouldn't doubt that gun sales go up, all across America.

You've hit on my reason for writing "thinking populace" rather than just "populace".

That's what I'm talking about. Liberals are trying to make this a black issue to keep their base by race baiting IMO. I'll never believe this guy just spontaneously came out with that but people will see that their mayor and governor called a late evacuation. They will see see how many of their LE responded and who finally come and helped them. All the enemy has to focus on was look how long it took because they can't deny who responded. That's lame though so they have to sprinkle a little "because you are black" in.

"Well, actually, maybe I should have said 'many people consider it a taboo subject', and I was more or less referring to political correctness, which has been known to even creep into FR from time to time, although it is usually kept out and we are able to be frank here with each other as fellow Americans."

This *IS* Free Republic after all. Even the few Democrats in attendance view political correctness as a lie, an evil and a cancer.

What is said is the "oppressed" mentality created in this racial group by our cultural elites.

Yep
By FAR the biggest problem in this country is the WHITE LIBERAL power structure in the Colleges and MSM

They have caused this mess and are responsible for misery not only here but worldwide

[MNJohnnie]

It is going to be everyman for himself

Nope because our side has guns and knows how to use them too. NO is proof of how well "Gun Contol" works. The LAW abiding have no training or means to protect themselves while the thugs are armed to the teeth.

Well, a couple of things. I agree with what you say BUT! So-called churches complicit in this are merely manifestations of the infection internalizing in any institution possible. I am a Catholic, believe me, there's plenty! of Catholic Liberals who buy into this Marxism. They need to be engaged in debate. David Horowitz correctly says we need to engage these people in person and also, I believe, by how we live our lives.

Also, my daughter is doing her research and writing three essays which, point by point, expose Zinn for the Marxist he is. Now, she has taken on line homeschooling courses over the summers, but she would never by as engaged a proselytizer she is becoming in a home school environment as she is becoming now! She is learning Apologetics 101 via self-education. She has a great little circle of friends, most from liberal homes--not all, and they debate these things and, in the process, my little ann coulter wanna be is learning and teaching, and I think that is a good thing! But, I too see the value of Home Schooling. V's wife.

Zimbabwe, USA

First the animal's eyes lust after the white flesh... this is the flesh their schools have taught them they have a right to hate most...(thanks to the ACLU and NEA taking God out of the public forum and U.S. history revisionists)

Then when they run out of white meat they go after black children and rape and kill them

They were only a couple days or hours away from turning cannibal

imo

[mewzilla]

Well, this will screw Hilliary. Even Dems won't want a Toon at the helm during and after a disaster, natural or otherwise.

[IronMan04]

Where the HELL are the Marines?

Gov. Blanco is in charge of the US Marine Corps?

[TrailofTears]

Excellent reality. The truth is that these monsters should have been killed on sight. Looters should have been shot on sight. The criminial element was overjoyed at the coming of such a natural disaster in that it would give them opportunities that nothing else would.

Find out who raped the children and murdered them, get the dna profile and when you capture them slowly skin them to death. Ifthey do not have anyone that will do it, i will volunteer. They deserve the slowest of deaths. In the ancient roman government they used to have a form of capital punishment that was reserved for especially bad murderers. That form was where you tied the rotting body of the dead person to the back of the living person who did the murder. They would stay that way till the rot from the dead body finally invaded all the system of the murderer and caused his/her death. That sounds like what would work here. There are plenty of bodies around to tie to the punks, get some rope and do some tying, that will end the problem.

"I really don't know what to say about President Bush," said Richard Dunbar, 60, a Vietnam veteran. "He showed no lack of haste when he wanted to go to Iraq, but for his own people right here in Louisiana, we get only lip service."

Lack of haste? 14 months and waiting for the UN to do something is not a lack of haste. Your the dimwitted moron living in a city below sea level thinking you could ride out a hurricane! Dumbass!

[tomjohn77]

It just shows that when there becomes a small minority of whites and a large majority of blacks things get out of hand. It has nothing to do with liberal thinking. I am not liberal, but what I can read out of this disaster is that liberalism is devasting in a multicultral country. In a all white western country liberalism would not lead to these actions. This is the facts. Hopefully this post is not to harsh, just stating the facts from my opinion. Hopefully the PC crowd dont ban me

[don-o]

Where were all the decent men in there???

That was exactly the question we were discussing last night. Maybe there were some, who prevented an even worse scene.

[Helen]

Thank you for posting that link, and it is absolutely right on. The fact that no one, no one, has risen as a hero in all this mess is further evidence that people who have been conditioned to wait for someone to take care of them, will wait for someone to take care of them.

liberalism is devasting in a multicultral country

That is how I meant it, and why I placed "liberal" thinking in quotes.
