ACLU Sues Over Post-Katrina Conditions at New Orleans Jail

Ah, the lovely Anti-American Criminal Liberties Union is now suing on behalf of inmates who were housed at the New Orleans City Jails, due to “Post-Katrina conditions.” Among the many things this “regime” is demanding, is that the jail NOT BE CLEANED UP in order to preserve any evidence of the environment in which the inmates were forced to remain, permeated by toxins in the water, structures, and in the air.


“A civil rights group filed court papers on Thursday demanding access to the New Orleans city jail to investigate allegations that the lockup became chaotic after Hurricane Katrina, with inmates abandoned for days, without food or drinking water, with floodwaters up to their chests. It took three days to evacuate over 6,000 inmates from the lockup after the storm hit on Aug. 29, prison authorities have said. The prisoners are now being held at 38 state and local lockups around Louisiana.

The American Civil Liberties Union’s court filings demand information about where each prisoner is locked up. The group also wants the sheriff’s office to halt any clean up at the jail because it could destroy evidence that prisoners were left standing in bacteria- and petroleum-laden floodwater…..

…..The ACLU was named counsel for all of the jail’s inmates under a 1994 federal consent decree mandating heath and environmental standards.In the court papers, the group includes the accounts of two inmates:

-One said he was sprayed with mace and abandoned in a cell, with no lights, food, water or ventilation, for three days.

-The other said he was evacuated from a flooded jail unit onto a basketball court with other prisoners, where they were left for several days without food, water, lights or ventilation.”

Excuse me, but what is the difference between those who were “locked up” in their own homes in the “chaos” after Katrina hit, and these idiots in the jails? I don’t recall that much ventilation, food, water or lights in the Superdome either!

I already know what the looney moonbats will say about this… “well, the inmates didn’t have a choice to get out or not.” And here is my politically incorrect yet truthful answer to that. They most certainly DID have a choice; they had the choice to modify their lifestyle behaviors that got them incarcerated in the first place, and if they’d done that, they wouldn’t have wound up in the hoosgow in the LAST place! So there!

People, as I’ve said in the past, poverty is a choice - not a circumstance. The same goes for criminality. You aren’t a criminal because you’re poor, and you’re damn sure not poor because of society. Everybody in this country has equal opportunity and chances to make something of themselves, to make it in this world. You can either choose to jump in feet first, enjoy the ride of life; or, you can sit by on the curb and watch life pass you by. Either way, “life happens.”

But alas, if you so choose to fall into the second category, that being one of playing the “victimhood” role oh so well, then never fear… for the Anti-American Criminal Liberties Union will be there for you, too. And you can pick up the pieces with your nice little class-action lawsuit check, and go down to score enough crack to get you by. Then when that stash runs out, you’ll be right back to robbing and stealing, and subsequently headed back to that stinky, nasty, mold- and toxin-infested jail cell for which you have consciously made a lifetime reservation.

President Bush’s Address: A Reminder We Sorely Needed

Today the President gave a very commanding speech. He was clear, concise, and said the things that we all need to be thinking or saying aloud every day; there is a terrorist threat, and these people want to kill us and everyone else who is not like them.

Political Teen has the video, and Blogs for Bush has the transcript. Good going, guys!

Credible Threats of Terror Attacks on NY Subways!

BREAKING!!!!!

According to reports, there have been credible threats of attacks on New York subways, including specificity enough to warrant immediate action.

(PoliticalTeen has the video of the press conference)


“According to sources in intelligence, emergency services and police headquarters, when three Iraqi insurgents were arrested several days ago during a raid by a joint FBI-CIA team, one of those caught disclosed the threat. Because it slipped out during the arrest, the plot was deemed credible.

After several days of work, sources said, the NYPD is increasingly concerned because it has been unable to discredit the initial source and additional information from the source.


The 19 operatives were to place improvised explosive devices in the subways using briefcases, according to two sources.”

This is not a time to waiver; this is not a time for political correctness; this is a time for actively AND aggressively PROFILING! Not all Muslims are terrorists, but by God, all terrorists that have attacked us, threatened us, and plot to destroy us, have ALL been Muslim!

Bush warned us today in his speech that this would continue to happen! When are people going to stop believing that if only we would “dialogue” with these Islamofascist bastards, we would all live in peace, happily ever after???
