OMG, I used to know a couple of Hookfins from New Orleans. An uncle and his nephew. Nicest people you’d ever want to meet. I wonder...

"St. Bernard Police said Hookfin is from New Orleans but has been living in St. Bernard Parish periodically since before Hurricane Katrina, after his mother was shot and wounded by his father who is now in prison. Hookfin only has minor arrests in his past, police said"

Nice family he has. A lot of scum from Orleans have been coming to St. Bernard and screwing it up. They are trying to do it to my community too.

BTW I could not get your link to work but I did find this at the site it took me to.

Thanks. The Hookfins I knew were black, too. Can’t say I see any family resemblance though, not that that means much.

Maybe he felt ‘empowered’ by Obama’s win. A black man in the white house, to him probably meant he suddenly had “the power”.
