Attack on Jindal Aide Dismissed As Medical Call (Where is Gov. Jindal?)
New Orleans Time-Picayune ^ | Saturday, April 17, 2010 | Laura Maggi

Posted on 04/17/2010 12:13:31 PM PDT by kristinn

When news of last weekend's assault of Republican campaign fundraiser Allee Bautsch and her boyfriend broke on Monday, police logs detailing crimes and complaints reported in the French Quarter that night did not list the attack on the pair.

That's because the April 9 incident was first labeled a medical call, which meant no police report needed to be written. Indeed, according to the initial report released Friday by New Orleans police, it wasn't until Monday that a detective was assigned to investigate the incident -- in which Bautsch broke her leg and her boyfriend, Joseph Brown, broke his jaw.

Monday was also the day news reports and blogs began chattering about the attack, sometimes laden with the juicy possibility the attackers were anti-Republican protesters.

The initial incident report does not resolve the question of whether Bautsch and Brown were attacked by protesters, who had picketed the restaurant they were in earlier that night.

But the sequence of the NOPD's response to an attack that left Bautsch with a broken leg and Brown with a fractured jaw and nose, raises questions about why the department didn't deal with the incident as an assault from the get-go. Subsequent police statements and reports about the incident note that officers did respond to the scene, calling an ambulance to take Bautsch and Brown to the hospital.

NOPD spokesman Bob Young said the explanation is simple: The responding officer didn't know the extent of the couple's injuries. That officer knew the couple needed help and was told that Brown had been in a fight, but concentrated on getting them medical assistance, he said.

If the officer had known how badly they were hurt, the case would have been reclassified immediately as some kind of battery, Young said.

Gov. Jindal's chief fundraiser get brutally assaulted outside his fundraiser and he does nothing to see that the police are on top of the case? Three days after she was stomped and her boyfriend smashed do the cops finally get around to opening an investigation and Jindal says next to nothing about it? I couldn't work for someone like that.

Well it might be a case where he accidentally hit his jaw on her leg, 4 times. Nothing to see here.

As far as news reports are concerned, I know of NOTHING Jindal has done to prosecute the New Orleans THUG cops who knocked people around and broke down doors in order to confiscate firearms in the Katrina aftermath. Looks like Bobby is just another “hide under the desk” type when anything BIG happens.

She did not break her leg and he did not break his jaw.

The attacker broke her leg by stomping on it and his injuries were caused by the attacker(s)

An incredibly deceitful use of the passive voice and corruption of the English language. It's leaves you thinking he tried to bite her anklse and she kicked him.

Really? She broke her own leg, and he broke his own jaw? Amazing.

Jindal’s either asleep or the fix is in.

I agree. Also, note the language of the article describing the way they were injured: "Bautsch broke her leg and her boyfriend, Joseph Brown, broke his jaw." That makes it sound like a skiing or bicycling accident where no one is responsible rather than the obvious assault that it was.

I don’t think Jindal was governor during Katrina.

“in which Bautsch broke her leg and her boyfriend, Joseph Brown, broke his jaw”

Garbage. She didn’t break her leg and he didn’t break his jaw.

SHE HAD HER LEG BROKEN IN SEVERAL PLACES BY OBAMATHUGS, AND HE HAD HIS JAW BROKEN BY OBAMATHUGS.

As to why the NOPD didn’t start to investigate until the blog heat got too hot: Gee, why wouldn’t a union thugcop dominated police department investigate this attack? Just can’t figure it out... /sarc

What a crap hole of a town. When Mississippi does a better job of recovering from a hurricane than you do it’s time to call in the dogs and put out the fire.

This incident was terrible, no question!

However, it may have illustrated to those of us unfamiliar with Jindal that he is, when it comes down to it, all hat and no cattle!

I've been wondering the same thing. Where is Bobby Jindal on this????

Why hasn't he been front and center????

I think it even hurts his Presidential chances. I can't imagine why he hasn't been out there condemning this attack on his aide and her boyfriend. He should be offering all his support to see that an incident like this is not repeated. Something isn't right here. What is he afraid of???

If a tea party member had attacked someone, the press would be all over this story.

seems to be, that the writers participle was dangling when he or she wrote this. How lewd.

I don’t know about the other threads, but Jindal has earned it on this one.
