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."

Of course Affirmative action kills. What is also a threat to democracy is that too many people are allowed to vote that have no clue what they are voting for. It should be a small test about society before people are allowed to cast a vote. I mean that it should be a lower standard for the voter.
To me its clear that a lot of people just voted for this governor because of his color. I wonder how many really thought through what they were doing when electing this person.
"Where the HELL are the Marines?
Gov. Blanco is in charge of the US Marine Corps?"
No, she's not.
Fox has just reported via a caller that a Batallion of USMC from LeJeune is on its way.
He is protected by his "hemet hair".
So has somebody invoked the Insurrection Act...how are the Marines going to legally operate in the city of NO? Or are they just showing up as aid for the National Guard.
"Those of us who watched the sheep line up for their weapons check before entering the Dome and quietly said, "Not me," have now been validated beyond any doubt. We have been given a case history to support our instincts should we ever be faced with a similar dilemma and have to justify our decision to "opt out" to friends and family. To that extent, the suffering of those who went along with the plan might not be in vain.
We owe it to them to learn the lesson."
Very well said. This forever answers the question of if one should ever give up their gun, or enter a large shelter during a disaster either imo.
Everyday is a bad helmet hair day for that man. Too heavy on the 30 weight oil.
Has anyone heard if the CANNABILISM reported Friday by Randall Robertson, liberal black activist and president of Transafrica, is true?
Perhaps a studio light will cause ignition..
The social pathology we are seeing in New Orleans is not new and should not be surprising to anyone. In every big city, there is a sizable population of sociopaths who will prey on normal people regardless of the situation. It is not racial. These people simply do not have the same internal moral compass as you and me. They do not care that there is a disaster, that there are people suddenly uprooted from homes, stranded tourists, defenseless children and old ladies, etc. In fact, they have no conventional sense of "caring" at all. Other people are just prey to them. They will beat and kill their own grandmothers if you let them. There is no answer except to round up these sociopaths and put them in maximum security prisons, or shoot to kill if they shoot first.
It is painful to see and read about these sociopaths in New Orleans, but these people have been out on the streets of that city raping, murdering, and robbing for years and there are the same kinds of people in every big city. Put enough of them in a large confined space and they are going to do things that shock normal, decent people. And it isn't like you can ID these people in a line going into the Superdome. But it is very predictable that in a population of 25,000 people going into a place like the Superdome, or 5,000 into the Convention Center, there will be a bunch of them and they will prey on people, because that is what they do.
Many of us have understood this for many years, and because of past calamities.
Those who are young, have not lived through, or bothered to read of historical events, or rely on government for everything including their daily bread, are precicely like so much fodder for disasters such as these.
I have often wondered what the last thoughts were of those poor unfortunates on the 9-11 flights. Perhaps some of them thought ... If I only had a gun ...
I certainly hope so. Speaking of racism, there was yesterday a post Democratic Underground where a poster was commenting on an image of white child and her grandmother at shelter in NO. Her comment? She stated that "rich" white folks should not be permitted to use the shelters!
"It just shows that when there becomes a small minority of whites and a large majority of blacks things get out of hand."
Only in a democracy.
I'm serious - this is a matter of life and death for a lot of people. They are not out of the woods yet just because they have gotten out of New Orleans and gotten a shower and some food and water. We have to get as many people as possible into smaller settings as quickly as possible. Chruches and community groups need to go into action and start adopting these families and finding them places to live, ASAP.
Especially resentment.
