This weeks issue of "The Nation" features a peice by A.C. Thompson on the violence that occurred in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The article sheds light on how groups of white vigilantes banded together to shoot black New Orleans residents. Only a handful of murder cases that took place after Katrina have been investigated. Below I have provided a link to the article as well as a Democracy Now! interview with Thomspon which features a short documentary on his research. The docmentary features interviews with police, victims and the shooters.
