Local N.O. criminals, and the more nasty Katrina returnees, are part of the “Chocolate City.” In so many words, there are not a whole lot of criminal N.O. black men wearing auburn colored pony tails.

The French Quarter is lousy with hotel and bar security cameras and the local criminals, particularly the violent ones, are known by the bouncers, local security staff and beat cops on sight.

They are bad for business.

The NOPD reports the Perps were a group of 3-to-5 whites in the N.O. French Quarter; whites who, as a group, confronted, and beat down Bautsch and Brown. The NOPD also reported the Perps who did the beating looked a whole lot like the anarchist protesters in the photos and videos of the Republican fund raiser, right down to the hair, dirt and smell.

Local thrill beaters – usually groups of young men who get off on physically dominating and humiliating others like Gays or the homeless — would be known to the French Quarter security and law men and would be on the list of usual suspects. A list that would have been used by now, given who was beaten.

There have been no arrests since the story surfaced on the Right Wing blogs.

Thrill beatings don’t lead to compound leg fractures (See broken leg requiring surgery) of the female half of a couple that is beaten. Usually the M.O. of such criminals is the male half of the victim couple gets bashed in the head and kicked on the ground, while the female half is left to watch her male companion’s humiliation.
That didn’t happen here. Bautsch had her leg broken so badly it required surgery. IMO, based on that, I think the perps either used a blunt instrument or more likely boots to stomp on the five foot nothing tall Allee Bautsch while she was on the ground.

Note as well that Bautsch used her purse as a pillow after the attack, AKA _the attackers were not criminal muggers_. She had it stolen after the attack while being treated by EMS.

So the perps were not locals, not muggers, they found their victims within a couple of blocks from a Republican event with anarchist protesters present, and the perps brutally assaulted the Female aide to Gov Jindal more than they did her boy friend.

If the attackers are not local N.O. or Katrina returnee criminals, and Occam Razor does not slice for thrill seekers based on the compound fracture, all that is left is a targeted political beating.

Gov Jindal and the local powers that be are trying very hard to drop the cone of silence on this for fear of the effects of this on the N.O. tourist trade and specifically the 2012 N.O. bid for the Republican national convention.

If Jindal cannot protect his own aide from anarchists, how can he protect his RNC convention goers?

A very important line for the Right was crossed here. The Left is going after the Right’s women.

And the Right’s elected leadership is trying to cover it up, rather than catch and punish the perps.

That is a bad play for a number of reasons.
