The French Quarter Fracas: Jindal Speaks, Says Nothing

UPDATE, 10:55 p.m.: Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Allee Bautsch’s boss, gave WWL-TV in New Orleans a no-comment comment this evening…

Gov. Bobby Jindal said Monday he isn’t going to comment further on the investigation into the recent French Quarter attack that left his chief fundraiser and her boyfriend injured.

Allee Bautsch, 25, suffered a broken leg, and her boyfriend suffered a broken jaw, nose and concussion.

When asked about the incident on Monday, Jindal said the couple is now recovering at home after receiving “serious” injuries.

“We’re going to refrain from commenting on it. We certainly keep her in our thoughts and prayers,” Jindal said. “I know she appreciates many people asked about her. She is home, which is a positive step.”

The rest of the WWL report is an embarrassing rehash of the dinosaur media whitewash we’ve grown very irritated with while this case has stagnated. We could say more about the asinine treatment this case has received by the recently-exposed cowards and frauds in the state’s newspapers and other “traditional” media, but our readers already know our position on the subject.

Meanwhile, Jindal spokesman Kyle Plotkin gave us this statement in response to a question about the potential role of the Louisiana State Police in this investigation:

“State Police has been in regular communications with the NOPD to get updates on the investigation. While the NOPD is the lead investigative agency, State Police detectives are supporting the NOPD’s efforts.”

The latest. I'm also reliably informed that McKay has had extensive discussions with Bautsch's mother.

Translation: He knows the inside scoop, but we already knew that.

Where’s the MSM? Oh, that’s right. They’re covering the nonexistent violence of the Tea Partiers.

Is he afraid of causing a problem with any prosecution attempts? Seems strange that he hasn’t said anything.

My guess is they (the ruling elites) are seriously worried about escalating violence as they break down our country and rebuild it into utopia.

[abb]

The thinking is he wants it to go away, lest it further damage the reputation of New Orelans and the French Quarter.

Please do not start this as a crusade against Governor Jindal. Thanks

Have you heard about this in the press? Certainly not. That’s because these two were Republicans beaten by protesters, it is thought. Gateway Pundit is covering this situation with links around the web. This is the look of pain and terror that leftist thugs impose on those who disagree with them.

You sir, are a coward. Consider your political aspirations over.

[ClearCase_guy]

The Left is shouting about how violent we are. The media is calling us terrorists. Meanwhile, Tea Party events are held with no arrests at all, because we are peaceable, law-abiding citizens. Then -- WHAM -- a Republican woman and her date are attacked, each receiving broken bones -- and the Republican establishment says nothing about it.

Something sure is funny.

[abb]

Oh, it’s not a crusade. But it is an effort to inform how Jindal’s abandoned his employee and failed to speak out on how the conservatives bear the brunt of the violence while the State-Run Media claims it’s the Tea Party that is violent.

[abb]

Then -- WHAM -- a Republican woman and her date are attacked, each receiving broken bones -- and the Republican establishment says nothing about it.

The best analysis I've seen is that is some sort of political "battered wife syndrome."

[abb]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battered_person_syndrome

In lay terms, this is a reference to any person who, because of constant and severe domestic violence usually involving physical abuse by a partner, becomes depressed and unable to take any independent action that would allow him or her to escape the abuse. The condition explains why abused people often do not seek assistance from others, fight their abuser, or leave the abusive situation. Sufferers have low self-esteem, and often believe that the abuse is their fault. Such persons usually refuse to press criminal charges against their abuser, and refuse all offers of help, often becoming aggressive or abusive to others who attempt to offer assistance. Often sufferers will even seek out their very abuser for comfort shortly after an incident of abuse.

[driftdiver]

You’re probably right, although the reputation is so low now I can’t see it makes much difference.

[ClearCase_guy]

I think we became free from George III because Americans like George Washington refused to play the "battered wife" role.

The Republican establishment today is unwilling to stake their lives, their fortunes or their sacred honor. Instead, then bend over and say, "Please sir, may I have another?"

[riri]

Jindal saying nothing is despicable.

[FreedomPoster]

Just damn bump for the thread, and spot on in your comment there.

[Jmouse007]

I agree, both he and the Republican establishment are all cowards. Jindal is NOT presidential material, just another worthless, wimpy, effeminate, unprincipled metrosexual politician.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I don’t know what’s so difficult about saying: “This is a terrible act of mindless violence, which has no place in politics. We hope and pray for Allee’s rapid recovery. The perpetrators must be found and brought to justice.” That really doesn’t take much spine.

[rintense]

If the suspects aren't prosecuted, Jindal is complicit in further emboldening these Iron Rail idiots into doing more of the same thing. These 'anarchists' are capable of anything and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
