Rumors are just that

Rapides Parish Sheriff William Earl Hilton toured New Orleans on Thursday as he tried to stop panic from spreading in Rapides Parish.

Rumors of gang members and increased crime parishwide may have come from a deputy, said Hilton, and he said he plans to deal with the incident when he returns.

An e-mail detailing rumors as fact circulated in print and in cyberspace throughout Central Louisiana on Thursday. The e-mail disparages the residents of New Orleans' Ninth Ward and applies other misrepresentations, such as safety issues and gas rationing, supposedly made under the auspices of the Sheriff's Office.

"We haven't had a spike in crime," said Sgt. Clifford Gatlin of the Alexandria Police Department. "There have been no carjackings, armed robberies or gangs of armed men wandering the streets.

"There was crime in Alexandria before the evacuees came, and there will be crime when they leave," Gatlin added.

The M$M and Bush want us to believe that the victims of the NOLA disaster are all criminals and looters. That way we won't feel so bad when they all die because of BushCo's deliberate incompetence.
