Yesterday, Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney, held a press conference to reveal 5,000 black males were suspiciously murdered during Hurricane Katrina.
According to McKinney, the names of the 5,000 are contained in a Pentagon computer. She claims the men were prisoners whose bodies were dumped in a swamp. 
I do recall New Orleans prison officials releasing a large number of black prisoners after Hurricane Katrina when rising water flooded the prisons. Does anyone know what happened to those prisoners?

i dont know. good question? can you do some digging for us?
Ummm .. Houston’s Crime rate soared during Hurricane Katrina .. I’m thinkin some are THERE .. Atl’s crime rate rose .. some are here .. they were killing each other left and right in NO .. they had to call in the National Guard .. ummm .. maybe some are still THERE…
Cynthia McKinney is a LOON ..
5000 men killed where are the 5000 families ? ? ?
Ok, So she is saying that the prison murdered the men instead of letting them free? I don’t really know much about this I heard a little somthing when it was going down, but that’s about it, do they think the men might have just escaped or something, have all other possibilities been exhausted. that’s messed up if so.
Another thing .. She’s running for President right ? .. What are her plans for the economy. .. unemployment .. the war … health care .. education .. gas prices .. foriegn policy …
Or is her platform soley based on some unfounded claims about 5000 dead men who can’t vote ?
I love how the names are stored on some secret computer that no one can get to, who does this trick think shes fooling………… And 5000 people just dead, and no one has reported this, no one has wondered where they were, not their families, their baby mamas, no one???
WOW!
Dont matter anyway because Obama is not winning
Kym I look at aunt Sandra same way I look at Cynthia McKinney. *blank stare*
Exactly @ Karaz … Cynthia McKinney is an embarassment .. she needs some bi-Polar Med’s .. STAT.
Charles is trying to start some mess. I think Cynthia is a lot of hot air. When did she decide to run for President? AND WHO IN THE HELL DOES SHE THINKS WANT HER IN OFFICE?
(Channeling Grey’s Anatomy cast) Seriously?
MrsJones …(whispering) ..just ignore it … it will go away
I’m glad I can’t see this video at work!
You know if there was really big conspiracy like this, Black folks would be running to the nearest law firm to get paid!
McKinney is a little flighty…that even sounds stupid. Sandra Rose is more credible than she is (no offense to SR). I do wonder, from time to time what happened to the prisoners during Katrina. It be interesting to know
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are here in Atlanta I am just saying the crime rate soared in Atlanta after hurricane Katrina.
I like Cyntha McKinney she says what the heck she wants no one had a problem when she expose the president for having advance knowledge of the 911 attacks before they happen. She is a little rough around the edges but she has some truth in what she speaks.
@kymystry LMAO!! I’ll do just that!

Like i SAID if anyone tried to sue the government you would lose and be stuck with MILLIONS OF DOLLARS of legal fees…..
Wake the People Sandra please wake them….DON’T YOU GUYS THINK IF “THEY” LET OUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN STARVE FOR DAYS AFTER THE STORM- THAT MAYBE- JUST MAYBE “THEY” WILL EXECUTE BLACK PRISONERS. THINK ABOUT….TUSKEGEE WASN’T THAT LONG AGO…PLEASE WAKE UP!!!!
@uptogirl
They did the same here in alabama. And now some are still here.
There are a lot of things “They” won’t let you know. I talked about the Space Station for years. I told my friends that people lived in outer space and never came to Earth. People thought I was crazy unitl last year Nasa revealed the Space Station to the GP (general public)…We must think out of the box sometime.

Did you get that rape kit we sent you?
Please….and did she say all 5000 were shot in the head, I can see if she said 50 or something close around that number, but 5000 she go to be kidding. I’m just going to act like she never made a ridiculous statement like that.

@Charles:
Auntie’s title states that McKinney REVEALED the 5,000 names so where did you get out of this that this “trick” is fooling anybody? Why do the babymommas have to be looking for them? Im sorry I dont usually stoop to the level of knocking anyone’s opinion, but you are just plain ignorant!
I don’t doubt anything when it comes to our goverment just like they killed Dr. King and destroyed the Black Pantha Party, but I would like to see more information or some kind of evidence.
Nice try Charles or who ever you are!

^ You act like you know so much, you have NO CLUE.Just stop making an ass out of yourself it really shows how unintelligent you REALLY are.
Nobody probably heard about it because in certain instances you can’t talk about certain things (talk about knowing it all).But if they talk about it, it’s not like the media is gonna grab on it because the government controls that stuff, especially CNN.

————————————————————
yes they do trust me, And you cant sue the government at all
This sounds so suspect…
I mean, in this day and age with the access to information and the THOUSANDS of media outlets that’s out there…how are 5,000 men going to disappear without a trace?
And here’s the most important thing….
WHY?!?! What would be gained by doing this? Absolutely nothing…so, again…I don’t think so…
And for those who think that Obama isn’t going to win this election…talk to me after November 5…I mean, even if you think the neocons are going to try and STEAL the election…
IT WON’T WORK THIS TIME!!!
@Lala:
The same way they left those people out there for days with nothing………..in this day and age.

I work fo the government and this just in there are no CONSIPRACIES there is no master plan to get you so calm down. And trust 5000 people would not just end up going missing one day because they were mass murdered this is not DRC

I may be ignorant but you are stupid because no where is it mentioned or alluded to the names being known other than by the pentagon, learn how to read.

@Charles

O-K. Is there any actual proof of this and if so, can we identify what these 5000 men shared in common that ultimately lead to thier death……….and we will leave rising waters, and drowning completely out of the equation right Cynthia?
@Charles:
I wont argue with you because………well I have better things to talk about. But stupid is thinking no where is 2 words.

” “Video: Cynthia McKinney Reveals 5000 Men Killed During Hurricane Katrina”
————————————————————
She revealed 5000 men where killed not that she revealed their names
they’ll never be found - every fat woman in town is in LOVE now…..didn’t you hear? the fat girls scooped those newly released prisoners RIGHT ON UP
Well, I got a few folks here at work they could have dumped in the swap somewhere and no one would miss them!
@Charles:
Point made Charles…………”5000 men where killed” I didn’t know the location was in question as well.
For the record…military members cannot sue the government…FERES DOCTRINE. Google it
However, a civilian can sue a government and or public agency but you must first file a claim against that said agency. Not in small claims. People have sued the IRS AND WON!
GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT INSTEAD OF SPREADING IGNORANCE!
People are always yappin’ like they know something…just saying the first thing that pops in their mind.
How old are we?

*here’s your Wellbutrin, homegirl* That should make you feel better…
Ok..I”m headed back to the high road
So is Cynthia McKinney saying that the prisoners of other races were set free then and they only killed the brothers? So is the Green Party now out on a fishing expedition (literally) to find 5,000 remains? If this kooky story had a shred of truth to it you know Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would be all over it.
Absolutely dead on the keyboard @
“Charles, Charles, Charles. {sighs} Being a haughty idiot as usual. Did you get that rape kit we sent you?”
That was one time I couldn’t contain my laughter. My fatty YT, lazy ass, Family Guy lookin’, caught her sleeping at her desk with her hands folded in her fat ass lap co-worker, thought I was crazy.
Charles it looks like you’re having one of those days! I told you all earlier this morning he was trying to start something!!
@ pryn .. i was cracking UP … I litterally rocked back in my seat laffin … hahahahahaha
and Sharonda’s
Do you know what GTFOH means
@ suga stix, who is the pic next to your name? Is that someone personal or a celeb? I couldn’t make out the faces. Just asking.

The same way they left those people out there for days with nothing………..in this day and age.

I hate to say it…But when I was told to evacuate, I bounced at 7:30 on Sunday right before Katrina.
I WAS IN ATLANTA for 3 weeks….with my sister…going to Male Revue at Chit Chat, when they had it. Going to Frozen Palace doing karaoke, drinkin at 20 Grand, shopping at Lennox, and still getting paid. Couldn’t tell me nathan!
It was so depressing when I came back, though.
@MRSJONESK…that’s the dude that’s been arrested over a 1,000 times in Kentucky. His array of mugshots were so funny that I had to make it an avatar
LMAO
Them 5,000 men would like the government to think they are dead….LOL I can concede that some of them probably did die in Katrina, but them dudes are scattered across the country, chillin!
Charles, Charles, Charles….What’s is goin on Man! LOL
I think you like to argue with the Family…I haven’t seen one post where you ain’t got into it with somebody….LOL
I’m hip to your evil plan! LMAO
We gon make you the Black Sheep of the SR Fam…..LOL
LOL @ #73
Not the man from KY. For the first time in my life, when the headline said “Man arrested for the 1,000th time”, I assumed he was “YT”. Never would I have thought in my WILDEST dreams that somewhere in KY they would let a blk man get arrested 1,000 times. I always thought they got “2 and a possible”. LOL I’ve heard of the three strikes rule. But for the most part by the time they get to that third strike, it results in them being tasered and dying in handcuffs in the back of the police car. Feel me?
@Divinebrown:
What you know about the Chat girl????!!!!!LMAO.
keely107….Girl, my first night we went to Chit Chat!
HAD A BALL UP IN THERE!!!! I was misbehaving….lol!!!
I’m lost what is YT?
@DivineBrown:
LMAO! U must let me know when u come back, thats my spot, first round on me!!!!
YT = white
YT = whitey
Depending on how you use it in a sentence
Alright now…I’m all for that!
2nd Round on me! I just came up there earlier this month! I wasn’t thinking or I would’ve hit up some of the fam!
Luscious Man, one of the strippers from that night, is on my myspace!!
@Prynsexxxx,
Boy thx Fam, I like to think i catch on fast but , I don;t think i would ahve ever caught that one…
@ Suga_stix
LMAO!! He was arrested a thousand times? How in the world is that possible? I’m gonna have to google him. The pics are funny. That’s why I asked you about them.
This doesn’t sound to far fetched. PEOPLE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR THEIR LOVED ONES! I do believe what she is saying…..instead of letting them back on the streets they were murdered. THIS KIND OF STUFF WOULDN’T BE ON THE NEWS… THE NEWS DOESN’T EVEN SHOW WHEN BLACK PEOPLE ARE MISSING, THEY TALK ABOUT CAYLEE ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN HAVE WE SEEN CNN OR FOX SHOW ANY BLACK KIDS MISSING? THEY AUTOMATICALLY ASSUME WE RAN AWAY OR ON DRUGS.
my uncle is a deputy in NOLA; no such thing happened. if anyone is looking for their loved one WHO WAS INCARCERATED, they haven’t looked too hard.
as for others, it is believed that the surge of water simply washed some folks out into the gulf. those found in their houses were generally under furniture or something that pinned them down. others floated out of their homes or wherever they were at the time of death.
NOLA held many unidentified and unclaimed bodies until just recently; they finally entombed them a few weeks ago.
thanks Free… in most cases the jails are evacuated 1st… if you can recall there were pictures of prisoners sitting on a bridge trying to get away from the rising waters… there were missing criminals, but most of them were sex offenders, etc. there is no sense in opening wounds for those that truly lost loved ones during that horrific time…
During this time I was working for TDCJ and from my understanding the prisoners where the first to be evacuated to different prisons in and around the Texas area. So a 5,000 body count is highly unlikely but very interesting.
