In America.
Sep. 4th, 2005 01:10 pmWill the Katrina crisis have its own Todd Beamer? Rather than help a woman who was being raped and stabbed, US troops in New Orleans murdered an American hero who tried to ask them to help. This was posted on BoingBoing today. Get the word out.
"They killed a man here last night," Steve Banka, 28, told the Reuters news agency before he left on Sunday.
A body lies face down in water next to the Superdome. Death was everywhere, both inside and outside the Superdome
"A young lady was being raped and stabbed. And the sounds of her screaming got to this man and so he ran out into the street to get help from troops, to try to flag down a passing truck of them. He jumped up on the truck's windscreen and they shot him dead," Mr Banka said.
