Prosecutors Charge White Man for Racially Motivated Shooting in Post-Katrina New Orleans

Democracy Now has a good series of articles into the lethal racism that swept through New Orleans following Katrina.  Unbelievable that this could still happen in the United States:  



'And I went to him, and I said, "What? Got one what?" And he said, "A looter." One of his friends comes running up the street and said, "You got one, but he ain't dead yet." And he proceeded to run, with no shoes on, around the corner, wherever this man was laying down. After, I asked him—I said, "Roland, you don't have to kill him. He's already down. Just leave him alone. He's going to die anyway. Just leave him alone." And he said, "I'm going to kill that nxxxxxx." And he went around that corner, and we heard the shot. I didn't see him shoot him, but I felt it.'
