That's IT! The Katrina "massacre" was Glenn Beck's fault.
I'll bet GW did it too.

I lived in New Orleans when Katrina hit,and I can honestly say that the aftermath was fething nightmarish.
The situation in Algiers Point was not unique,fear and paranoia had spread everywhere,Metairie,Chalmette,Slidell all had similar groups of people who were concerned with the "what if huge groups of people come looting."
Radios broad casted a continued stream of warnings of looting,chaos at the superdome,etc and I feel it fed the already panicky situation.
Hell,I myself along with family and friends were very well armed,just in case,no one really knew what could possibly happen,and unfortunately the atmosphere simply made the chances of violence all the more likely.
Now,were there people who used the situation as an excuse to shoot down people because of their race,I don't doubt it for a minute,those people exist and given the circumstances would be more than capable of such actions.

Liberals...
Conservatives...
All shades of the same idiot stock a good amount of the time.
Neither has a monopoly on stupidity and being narrow minded sheep.
In fact it is the one thing they seem to have in common.

Damn straight! If it wasn't for them and their overpriced models and pushy sales staff Katrina would never have happened.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

I remember freezing in my bed as I heard the Jervis Johnson's chilly laughter echoing down from his mountain fortress in Nottingham. Then he ruined Christmas and pee'd in my coffee. Katrina was merely the first step in his diabolical master plan to completely destroy 40k with a "5th" edition.

"Asssuming someone is a looter or tresspasser because they're black is racist" is also very easy to understand. If these guys saw black people, assumed they were looters and tresspassers and shot them, then that's pretty screwed up.
But that's assuming any of that actually happened.
****True on both counts. I'm just annoyed that a blog is assumed to be right that, gee rednecks are racist and killed a whole lot of people. I'm not seeing a lot of support except other "progressive" blogs. That would be big news.
Kilkrazy never said that he believed the account. In fact he was very much against pre-judging the situation (Exactly the opposite of you, if I'm being honest), basically he said that if a court found this to be true he would be both shocked and appalled.
