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."

"To you the stats say nonwhites are bad people"
No, but they sure do discredit your drivel that "There are just as many bad white people as bad non-white people". Percentagewise, there is no comparison.
This woman,Joseph, who found the dead 14 yo, she had knowledge of how long the child had been missing. She knows the race of the parents. So what is the race of the child?
what? i cannot make sense of this very long sentence...

That's just it, there weren't any.
[smile] It's not my best work. If you follow the link in #179 it will make more sense.
The governor is a white woman. You think her color helped her get elected?
BUMP. To the top.
I fervently hope that your astute comments receive the wide reception they warrant.
Anyone who hasn't read Dems_R_Losers' comments MUST read them.
I lived in D.C. for two years.
Felt the local police were just waiting for a pension like most public employees.
Have a good one.
Probably true, cake to pacify the masses whatever that may be, but whenever you have misery you have opportunity, (lawyers and politicians can make hay here).

Nagin, a failed hero, encouraged no one, urged no one, to "become" that legend of his time....a star to shine from out this darkess and forever into the future.
I like what you are saying. Imagine instead of swearing at the world and begging for Daddy to save his city, if he had gone down with a megaphone to the Dome or the Convention Center and said
"People, you are the survivors of a disaster of epic proportions! Help is on its way, but government can't be everywhere at the right times to help us. WE MUST HELP EACH OTHER! We are strong! We are New Orleansians [or whatever they call themselves]!
"I know you are hungry! I know you are thirsty! But turn to your neighbor! Help him get by! Help those with children and babies! Help your Mommas and Papas, the elderly among you! Let the world see that this storm has washed away our THINGS, has even washed away the 21st century from us, but it has NOT WASHED AWAY OUR HUMANITY! Our kindness! Our love!
"Do not fight amongst yourselves! Lend a hand to stop others from squabbling in frustration! Do not allow the brute, the thief, the murderer among you! You are strong enouigh to throw evildoers from your midst! Do it!
"WE WILL SURVIVE THIS.
Make yourselves PROUD of how you are enduring! This is not the end! Let us climb over this obstacle together!"
Oh, I see what you're so commited to showing me. We should excuse black or hispanic people who commit crimes because it's part of who they are... they can't help it. Why fight nature, eh? Well let's consider this matter closed, you've done a good job of giving freepers a bad name, and liberals ammo when they call conservatives racists.
Exactly! It could have been a very proud moment for the people and mayor of New Orleans....a story told throughout the ages....but he failed to do any such thing that was right....and now, in large part because of him, that story can never be told.
When you are wrong, you are wrong.
The classy thing do when you are wrong is to acknowledge it and move on.
With the glug, glug, glug sound of this reporter's water bottle in front of them, With the rotors of President George W. Bush's helicopter sounding overhead, New Orleans' poor and downtrodden recounted tales of murder, rape, death threats and near starvation since Hurricane Katrina wrecked this city.
If there is a murder in the City, there is about a 10% chance that the killer will be identified by the cops, no more.
Thanks, got a good one, could stand to have a longer one.... ;]
