Were there white supremacist death squads in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina?

[ck4829]

A new magazine article documents reported killings in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, claiming a white militia formed in the days after the storm and shot nearly a dozen black people.

It happened in Algiers Point, a historic community where some say what happened in the days after Katrina borrowed from a chapter in our nation's history they would rather not relive.

The story, documents a "hidden race war," describing the shootings of 11 black men, some of whom are believed to have died.

"They were celebrating it. Over there at the ferry at the end of the evening, they would celebrate how many people they killed," said Malik Rahim, an Algiers Point resident and former Congressional candidate.
