Racist murderers redux
Monday, April 12th, 2010Seems as if more people may have become vigilantes after the storm.
One disturbing part of that page is this section
According to Benjamin, Bourgeois said, “I’m gonna kill that nigger,” and ran, barefoot and shirtless, down the street before turning and jogging out of view.
Benjamin heard another gunshot.
Bourgeois ran back to join the group of gun-equipped men standing in the street, she said. “He came back with a baseball cap that had blood on it. And I knew there was blood on the cap because it ran onto his arm. And he brandished the cap for all of his friends,” Benjamin said. “Everybody cheered. They were happy for him.”
Benjamin, who is ethnically mixed — white, Latino, and African-American — was waiting for an uncle and cousin, both of whom are African-American, to come to her house. She feared that Bourgeois and the other men would attack her relatives.
“I went to him and asked him to spare their lives,” Benjamin remembered. “He said, ‘Darlin’, anything coming up that street darker than a brown paper bag is getting shot.’”
Traumatized, Benjamin moved out of the state after Katrina, but just weeks ago, she made two trips to the neighborhood, accompanied by a federal prosecutor and an FBI agent who asked her to retrace her steps.
Anybody with information about this story (and the story about the other three mentioned on my other blog post) should contact the FBI and help them put every racist vigilante murderer that is still walking the streets.
I will note that Councilman Fielkow was the only elected official who ever responded or tried to get anything accomplished with this previous video. Perhaps with the feds involved, we will get some traction.
