Denham Springs Vandalism

DENHAM SPRINGS, LA (WAFB) - Imagine waking up to bright orange spray paint on your home and your vehicle. Not only that, but the words painted refer to you and your family by names, attacking the color of your skin. It's happened to a family in Denham Springs.

"You should not have to walk out your home or have children walk out and see stuff like that," says Kathryn Kerst. Someone spray-painted words like "KKK" and the "N" word using in fluorescent orange paint. It's on trailers, on the streets, and even on Danielle Bates' car and truck. "I don't want my kids playing out here and all this going on," Bates says. Bates says her family is the only African American family in the trailer park. She says she was surprised when she saw one of her neighbors in particular out walking and ranting. "She was walking up and down the street. She had an axe handle, saying she didn't like n***** and she was gonna kill Obama and start with me."

Isnt this a "federal" crime? Do these hateful people know this?

I was thinking like you, Buckwheat. Why did our sister move into that trailer park? She was probably unfamiliar with the attitudes in that neck of the woods. Rednecks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes it is...but this is Denham Springs we're talking about. Don't be surprised if the feds don't get involved.

Danielle Bates says she called the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office to try and get something done. We checked with them and they told 9NEWS they couldn't find enough evidence to press charges, and said they aren't even sure if this is a hate crime. Meanwhile, the threats didn't just stay outside. Inside, Bates received a message on her phone. "Hey, I'm a neighbor of yours. I live right down the road and I wanted to tell you people to stop n*****ing around you stupid f***ing n***** or I'm gonna come over there and knock your n**** heads off. Thanks."

I rest my case.

With kids, I wouldn't have any second thoughts about moving! That group she is around sounds like PWT.

That woman can live where she wants. Trailer Park or not, she shouldn't have to deal with this. Some of you are acting like its her fault because she moved into the trailer park. Is she moved into an upscale neighborhood and started to get thsi same treatment, would we be implying that she shouldn't have moved "there"?

 

[Warndalyn]

This is typical of DS, though. That town is known for Klansmen activities and they absolutely despise black folks there. Personally, I wouldn't want to live there, but I should most definitely have the right to.

Beyond SAD...:tdown:

I'm employed in the parish but I never had any interest in living there.

:tup:

Hopefully she'll continue to press the buttons for change and have something done about it as promptly as possible! Hopefully the perps will be caught. :read:

There's a video that goes with the story.

I agree a person should be able to live anywhere their money can afford. Why she chose this trailer park is beyond me. I wouldn't want to live in a trailerpark, no matter where it is. A Livingston Parish trailer park is way down the list of places I'd want to live. Hopefully with the exposure from WAFB, the Feds will get involved and find those responsible. I can't imagine the redneck doing this is very smart. Hell, they should be able to simply look in the garbage and find the spray paint can. Hell the dummy may still have paint on thier hands/clothes.

Used to work at Hibernia/Capital One on N. Range from 01-04. No interest living there.

Saw the video. That fool was bold leaving a message on her answering machine. They can trace that call.

 

[JagBR]

Those guys are diehards. You will never change those attitudes. Now, there's a way to make them behave.

Did the dude on the message sound like David Vitter to you? I walked in on the tail end of this story early this morning and only heard the message and thought, is that Vitter? I had to rewind the story to get clarification.

You'd think the SS would catch wind of the Obama threat since they're fully protecting him right now. :read: This story needs MUCH MORE exposure to lure the lunatics of power in that parish into submitting to do what's "right" vs what's "white." :read:
