7 seven year old raped and throat slit… never happen, NO murders at Superdome.
I had suspected much of what we heard never happen. www.nola.com/newslogs/tporleans/index.ssf?/mtlogs/nola_tporleans/archives/2005_09_26.html#082732

and was stories like this that the press used to whip many into a racist frenzy
gotta love the media |
|
|
|
|
I hope you don't believe that Bull Shit.
If the world knew what the blacks did to the few stranded whites there may be a riot |
|
do tell |
|
|
|
|
|
Eh, there would never be a riot in my opinion. I haven't heard much of what happened to the stranded whites, but to be honest I wouldn't doubt there being some truth to that. I would like to hear/read what happened, or supposedly happened though. |
|
|
What are the LV odds on the proposition that all the victims were left inside the Dome?
|
|
those are damn lies. My girlfriend's dad was beaten so badly he almost died and was robbed at the convention center by those damn animals.hing
|
|
And people wonder why we doubt anything that comes from the press or "the authorities"???
|
|
not smart enought to have evacuated huh? |
|
|
You just described the basis for socialism in Europe. That is the execuse they offer every time. |
|
|
I'm sorry, but I don't and will not believe a single thing that is reported to have or not to have happend in NOLA by any authorities.
There has been an active censorship campaign down there since right after the first barrage of looter video came out. They are all playing CYA and are completely full of shit. |
|
This should be good. Two bubbas -- one with an AK and the other with an AR. |
||
|
BS There has been nothing else shown because there is nothing else to be shown. If there was no amount of goverment censorship attempts could keep it off the internet. If internet bloggers cannot find it its a fair bet that it does not exist. |
|
|
I understand there is nothing going on down there now... I'm referring to the immediate aftermath. An example of the Gov't censorship: They had stopped helicpoter rescue flights one morning "Our helo's are being fired upon" Later that day "No, we never took any fire, our helo's were re-assigned to other missions." Uh... what other missions??? |
||
|
Never heard that. As far as I know the flights were suspended on the 7th to the Superdome becuse shots were fired at the helicopters from the Hilton. Never heard anyone back away from the statment and Fox and CNN both broadcasted the statment repeatedly over the day. Flights were resumed after a ANG MP company swept the hotel. It is very hard to cover that shit since all the ANG and Army guys come home and post everything they saw and heard on the internet. Look at how many have posted here. |

and doooooowwwn the memory hole we go. |

|
The story was bound to get attention so fuck accuracy or the truth. The really sad part about this is that they publish this garbage and its on page one. The retraction if there is any is buried between the liposuction ad and the massage parlor ad on the last page.
|
|
"don't question our authority. we're from the government and we're here to help!"
i don't doubt the stories of piles of bodies was an exaggeration but no violent crimes??? no intimidation??? this is the start of the .gov whitewash. it didn't happen so we aren't responsible. say it often enough, say it loud enough, and put an official government stamp on it and it'll quickly go away... business as usual. |
|
Yes, because otherwise the "Hero Refugees" may become your neighbors. |
|
|
Please save sarcastic comments I'm not posting to argue.....
When you hear about the 19 bodies, shot and tied together down there, you read it here first. There was a SEAL team that was assigned to the area around the dome and they got them. Also one of the army guys down there said he was only issued one mag with 30 rounds...he killed four the first night and snuck home ( he was local obviously)to get his .22 (all he had)because he was scared shitless. It's gonna be great in about a year when everyone hears of all the shit that went on down there. I workd with alot of LEO and military during this and if what they said was wrote down it would fill a book. Hell lemme add this after reading that crap: We just hired a bunch of nurses out of NO. One worked at Methodist and said NOPD took over their 6th floor and went back and forth looying a mall and storing the loot in the hospital. AND what about CNN pics on tv of the decapitated bodies??? What a bunch of shit. |
|
I saw that. Was it faked as it must have been if the article is true? The article is full of crap. |
|
|
uh, I SAW pictures on CNN. They were kind of fuzzed but it was pretty clear it was a violent death and not a suicide.
they are in damage control to try and convince people that new orleans is OK. Actually after all the stuff I saw on TV down there and some of the people i've met that came from there.. no mater how well they rebuilt it, I will NEVER go there. Ever. |
|
That's not what a person who spent four days in the Dome told me in one of the shelters.
|
|
If it wasn't for the photos, I'd believe them .... these same folks also said the police were not looting. They have as much credibility as Baghdad Bob. Too many eyewitnesses. A doctor was interviewed on CNN who saw the bodies, and had no reason to lie. A reporter took numerous pictures, and CNN showed the two that could be shown on TV with pixelization. The British students told the hell they went through, they saw the women being dragged into the back, etc. When I saw the NO Police Chief come out and bold-face lie about the police not looting, the officials there lost all credibility with me. Oh, these same folks said that there were no gun confiscations. I'll believe numerous eyewitnesses over lying politicians and corrupt police chiefs any day. |
|
|
And where are those pictures now? No one had tivo? No one had CNN running to their computer? No one at Ogerish.com was lining up to pay the photographer cash? We are exepcted to beleve that it was eraced completely from existance? And that somehow the "Blame George Bush" crowd that includes CNN would not WANT to run such a image as often as they could? Even on the day people were posting here about those pictures, no one ever answered to oft repeated question- were they killed there or was that where the PD/Fire/Coroner were taking all the victims of the street violence because it was the nearest place that still had refrigeration and was above water... |
|
|
They had the film on the CNN page for about a week, it was called Convention Center Hell. |
||
|
Numerous board members, including myself, saw the film. Paula Zahn spent about five minutes saying how little children should leave the room before they showed it, when they first aired it. Anderson Cooper did a followup interview with a doctor who was in the convention center, who saw 40-50 bodies in the back. |

There sure have been a lot of false Police reports filed claiming rape if none of it happened
www.womensenews.org/article.cfm/dyn/aid/2460 Witnesses Talk to Counselors Reports by people who said they witnessed rapes are starting to filter in to rape counselors, said Judy Benitez, executive director of the Louisiana Foundation Against Sexual Assault in Hammond. The foundation is beginning to compile a database of reports without specifically naming victims but including enough details about incidents in an attempt to rule out duplicates and get a better count, she said. The reports are being taken from victims as well as witnesses, Benitez said, but she did not know how many reports had been gathered by late Wednesday. Under normal circumstances, Benitez said, the odds of rapes getting reported to police were somewhere between 10 percent and 25 percent of all rapes. Amid the unfathomable chaos of Hurricane Katrina, Benitez said she expects an even lower reporting rate. "We're getting reports from witnesses," Benitez said. "All these witnesses are upset because they saw things going on and couldn't do anything about them without jeopardizing their own safety." Other information is coming in to the media as well. New Orleans singer-songwriter Charmaine Neville, in a Sept. 2 video aired by WAFB-TV in Baton Rouge, La., said she had reported to New Orleans police that "a lot of us women had been raped down there by guys who had come . . . into the neighborhood where we were that were helping us to save people, but other men . . . they came and they started raping women . . . and then they started killing." The Rev. Toby Nelson of First Presbyterian Church of Hayward in Castro Valley, Calif., told The Union newspaper of Grass Valley, Calif., in a Sept. 20 article that rapes did occur. Nelson was part of a volunteer team that went to the New Orleans Superdome the week after Hurricane Katrina hit. "There were so many rape victims, and we had to turn (most) of them away because they had life-damaging, but not life-threatening, wounds," Nelson said. It's important that rapes be reported within the first 72 hours in order to preserve evidence and deal with trauma, but reporting the events later still serves a valuable purpose, said Lorna Martin of the Division of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology at the University of Cape Town in Rondebosch, Western Cape, South Africa. |

ROFL!!! GR |

Coverup
There were photos posted of bodies inside the convention center. |
|
And the question remains. Were they killed there? Or was that just the only place left to bring the bodies. Given the recent history of the mainstream media misreprsenting video taken in Iraq, one cannot trust that they would give a accurate account of how or why the bodies got to be their. Or that having created a inaccurate perception that they would admit any error. |
|||
|
If you saw the bodies, it was pretty clear that they did not die of natural causes - and the blood was pooled alongside them - with no signs of blood trails indicating that they were dragged there. |

The "article" comes from...
www.nola.com That's all I need to know. |
|
Not surprising. As usual I suspect the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Typical for officials to downplay this kind of thing to prevent loss of $ to their cities. Rape is probably one of the most overlooked crimes by city officials in addition to being severely underreported. Tragic. Personally, I find rapists to be the lowest of the low and would rather see them get the death penalty than most murderers. In the long run it would seem that only those who were there will ever really know the truth. The best thing that could happen here would be a compilation of stories from credible individuals at ARFCOM who were really there. |

Why would they be dragged there? Just because they had a shortage of morgue space doesn't mean they had no streathers or wheelchairs- and were not some of them IN wheel chairs or gurneys in the video? That they did not die of natural causes is not a surprise with all the looters and all on the street. But with no embalming being done and no proper body bags they would have drained out where they were left. Again, did they get footage of a massacre or did they get footage of a body dump- and is it a coverup or did they stop playing the video because they were misrepresnting events and were going to get sued by families of the deceased for disrespecting their dead loved ones and using them for tawdry publicity. Fox probably does not really know either, all they did was find a bunch of dead people to put on TV |

The truth is always the first casualty.
Propaganda is much much better than the crude and simple stuff done in the 1950's. If there is a story to be told there's a spin to be put on it. I too would only believe member's here reports. |

While I am certainly glad that there is no raped 7-year-old in a coffin somewhere, it certainly speaks volumes that such a story was so easy to believe.
But hey, when the gangsta lifestyle is heralded as THE culture, then what can we expect? |
|
I put zero credibility in the words of any New Orleans Spokesperson. I believe the pictures, and the eyewitness testimony of those who have no reason to lie, such as a doctor in the Convention Center and the British tourists. The New Orleans spokespeople DO HAVE a reason to lie.

Check your tin foil hat, i think it's receptors are calibrated too high. I'm sorry, but i'm gonna have to call on a lot of the "stories" and "first hand accounts" that i've been reading online... which honestly sound more like survivalist fantasies come to life. I was so caught up in the fear and frenzy that I actually revived my old hobby of firearms to build a M4gery "just in case". But then, I read a article in which the author brought back the historical examples of after natural disasters, the media would spread malicious racist rumours. Back in the 1800s, Hungarians were the evil ethnic minority of choice, and after a disaster on the north eastern coast, there were widespread reports of rapes, and of people cutting fingers off of dead bodies to get rings. Never happened. Then in the 20s there was a disaster in the south, and there were reports of blacks raping and pillaging, and cutting off fingers of dead bodies to get rings. never happened. I hoped that all the rumours i've heard about gangs, looting, raping, and wild west like shenanigans happening in NO were true, because I didn't want to think I got duped hardcore... but after realizing that all the "first hand accounts" (there are litterally dozens) NEVER had pictures, of even them getting ready and leaving, or of the scenery, I realized that the potential for bullshit was pretty damn high. Meh. At least I got a "assault weapon" out of the whole deal, SWEET! |
