“I learned my wings”
Monday, December 22nd, 2008Many disturbing stories came out of Hurricane Katrina. One of those is the story of vigilantism in Algiers Point after the storm.
Algiers Point residents Vinnie Pervel, Wayne Janak, and Nathan Roper took it upon themselves to “go hunting”. Self defense is one thing. I have no problem with you defending your life, the lives of others, or even your property from criminals. However, these ignorant racist murderers took it one step further and went out looking for black people to kill in cold blood.
The fact that these people have not been sent up to death row yet is a travesty of justice. I am going to send this letter to many elected officials.

These people bragged about killing black people in cold blood. You have their names. You have their videotaped confession of their crimes.
How will you use the power given to you by the voters who elected you into office to address this issue?
Hopefully someone will take action.
