thinkprogress.org — Report: White vigilante groups blockaded small towns in post-Katrina New Orleans and murdered blacks.
——————————————————————–
Earlier this week, A.C. Thompson of The Nation revealed that after Hurricane Katrina, white vigilante groups patrolled New Orleans, blockaded streets, and shot at least eleven black men. It “was like pheasant season in South Dakota. If it moved, you shot it,” said one vigilante. Color of Change is organizing a campaign to tell Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) and state officials to investigate the shootings, as “Louisiana’s broken law enforcement agencies have refused to investigate these crimes.” Watch Thompson’s video on his report:
Color of Change is also sending messages to Attorney General Michael Mukasey and Attorney General nominee Eric Holder.
