"Her son had left a Chattanooga nightclub"

Not the best use of Red Cross relief.

[Dick Vomer]

Bush and Karl Rove tracked him down with a hit squad....right before they turned on the weather maching to make Rita get the remaining New Orleans residents that fled to Houston....and put the C4 charges in the remaining levees to drown anybody left in New Orleans!!!!!.... Oh my GAWD!!! the Humanity!!!

/sarc

Get yer Mommas out of the way.... the calvary ain't coming.... for 5 days!!!

The red cross's idiotic passing out these "no questions asked" debit cards is the height of foolishness and a gross waste of contributors money. They are being used to buy luxury goods like $200 shoes and handbags, and hordes of people are faking Katrina status and getting the cards. Now we got robbery and death...

Give them water, food and shelter, not wads of cash, the Salvation Army is a far better charity for contributions.

... five gunshots to his head

For a robbery?

[Myrddin]

A bunch of people fleeing the hurricane arrived in another state. Local law enforcement had a list of their names. A substantial number of these people were felons. Many had outstanding warrants. They were welcomed, then the persons with outstanding warrants were arrested.

I suspect this case is a drug deal that went bad. Having a large sum of money on hand just enhanced the value of robbing the victim.

[lilylangtree]

Days before he was killed he had a debit card with several hundred dollars on it. Yet, day before he was killed, he's asking for additional financial assistance and replacement Red Cross and Social Security Cards. Then, hours before he's killed, he leaves a nightclub with 2 men and a woman. What is he doing in a nightclub when he was suppose to start a new job the next day? This fellow appeared to make a lot of bad decisions for himself.

Chattanooga or a cat five hurricane, I'd take my chances with the hurricane.

[uncbob]

And that is why they are in poverty

Get a few bucks and head for the booze joints

[uncbob]

Wilson said Airline told him he was supposed to start a job the next day.

Call me cynical but somwhow I don't belive this

[uncitizen]

Investigators found five handgun shell casings with Airline's body, less than a mile from a Red Cross shelter where he had stayed.

They give no indication in the article, but would i be going out on a limb in speculating that another Katrina refugee did it?

"I said I was his mother and I asked, 'What did he do?'

Interesting comment from the mother. This guy doesn't sound as tho he had a chance, being born to a 17 year old mother.

Where to start to end this ---------

Her son had left a Chattanooga nightclub with at least two men and a woman hours before his body was spotted early Saturday on a weedy roadside in south Chattanooga, Freeman said.

Great way to be spending OUR donations. They NEED to QUIT giving them cash and just give food,water,shelter and BUY the other neccesities and give them to them. QUIT GIVING THEM OUR MONEY TO BLOW IN BARS OR WE MIGHT STOP DONATING !
