GOP voters start killing each other. 1 dead, 8 in jail, all for our benefit. I hope to see 100,000 of those
Nation briefs: Woman slain after failed Klan rite
Associated Press
An Oklahoma woman invited to a rural Louisiana campsite for a Ku Klux Klan initiation ritual was shot and killed after she asked to be taken back to town, the sheriff of a New Orleans suburb said yesterday. Eight people were arrested after the woman's body was found hidden under some brush on the side of a road several miles from the remote campsite where the initiation was planned. Weapons, several flags and six Klan robes were found at the campsite, St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Jack Strain said. He said the woman was recruited over the Internet to participate in the ritual and then return to her home state to recruit for the white supremacist group. Strain said the group's leader, Raymond "Chuck" Foster, 44, shot and killed the woman Sunday after a fight broke out when she tried to leave. He was charged with second-degree murder. Strain said the woman arrived in the Slidell, La., area last week and was taken to the campsite near Sun, La., on the banks of the Pearl River, about 60 miles north of New Orleans. The group's members called themselves the Dixie Brotherhood. Said Mark Pitcavage of the Anti-Defamation League, "This is not what I would call an established Klan group... Some of these guys are just crooks, sociopaths."
