Murder and Mayhem in New Orlean's Miserable Shelter: Lessons from the Dome
Reuters ^ | September 2, 2005 | Mark Egan

Posted on 09/03/2005 3:44:24 AM PDT by Liberty Ship

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."

No racism here. Remember, it's only racist if a white person does it. No "hate" crime either. It's a love crime.

I've been wondering what the Rev. Jesse Lee Petersen has to say about this kind of incident. He's had some eloquent statements about endemic hatred of Whites held in the Black Community, and now it is sin, and how he himself had it, but repented, rejected the blame-the-white-man drumbeat furthered by liberals and irresponsible Black leaders, and took responsbility for his own actions--calling for others to do the same. I'll bet all of this is making him SICK.

Rather than reporting, most of the coverage I've seen is more agenda driven than just news. I hope a lot of this is just rumours and sensationalism. It sure is weird to wonder if reporters are even trying to tell the truth.

We don't learn very well from history, do we?

I am surprised REUTERS reported this

This may be a taboo topic, and I am sure the Admin Mods are reading, but we HAVE to discuss this as Americans, and analyze it, and see what can be done about it. It will take everyone in America to fix it. It cannot be ignored any further.

"I have heard that the N.O. police are one of the worst forces for a large city in America and this certainly proves this."

Well, I have thought for some time that the D.C. police were the worst, but I guess New Orleans beas them out.

"The City That Care Forgot!"....Indeed!

Right. When vicious young thugs band together to do violence, a united front backed by force of arms must be presented or else awful things happen. We see that in this case, all too clearly.

Could have happened in EITHER city, IMHO.

That is a strange question. The body has already been identified as the victim of multiple rapes and murder. What do you think they are going to do with it - dump it in a mass grave? Over the course of time it will be turned over to police and forensic specialists. Why wouldn't it be?

By attacking religion and keeping people away from the "opiate of the masses" a great civilizing force is neutralized. Churches go vacant, which can be wonderful places to organize at such a time like this, and entire religious traditions themselves go bankrupt and disperse. We need to start a public awareness campaign that what we are seeing is Marxism and resulting anarchy....

That is true; what I said is also true, it is not racial bating, it is factual, and it would apply to any group of people who, instead of rising to the occasion, acted depraved and barbaric.

"This will be a wake up call for them."


You're right. And it better be...I'm definitely more doubtful than I was before in regard to catastrophes...and, more so, coordinated terrorist attacks. I'm not so confident we would pull together so well should there be coordinated attacks on multiple cities.

Years back in NYC, we had the Crown Heights Riots, which had turned into a black pogrom of the Orthodox Jewish neighborhood of Crown Heights. Mayor David Dinkens ordered the police to "show restraint". They stood like statues and did NOTHING to stop the violence

And received scant covearage by the liberal MSM

That is why we have the problem we do

Whitey is continually brow beaten and bashed by the media

That is why I HATE white liberals the most

Pres. Bush should have answered the question as to why rescue didn't happen sooner by telling everyone that Gov. Blanco didn't ask for it (there is a procedure to follow) and that rescuers were shot at by the criminals that live in that decadent hellhole. He should not have pussy-footed around these two salient facts. He didn't get more than 25% of the vote in NO, so he would have risked nothing in giving them and the nation a strong dose of the truth. We need to stop coddling the sub-par intellects in the NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus.

Jesse Jackson will be on NBC shortly to discuss the race and class issue in NO rescue. They're replaying Nagin's spewing from Thursday.

"There is little enough info about Mississippi and Alabama. Rural Louisana is not quite sensational enough to merit media attention."

No news is usually good news. I suspect they're too busy actually dealing with the situation to call a press conference.

You are right. In this country, what used to be America, the ONLY 'crosses' the libs will allow in public and the ACLU will not sue against, are those constructed in places like "Camp Casey" for pure, unadulterated anti-US, pro-Marxist/Terrorist 'guerilla theatre.'
