Post-Katrina murders

While not the 5,000 that Cynthia McKinney had heard about, white vigilantes shot at least 11 people in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, according to an article by A.C. Thompson in the January 5, 2009 issue of The Nation magazine. The New Orleans Police Department is also suspect in the death of a man found severely burned in a charred abandoned auto. The article also mentions Malik Rahim, Green Party candidate for Congress who I have written about on this blog.
