A shocker I know. And it came as quite a surprise to law enforcement in St. Tammany parish when a woman from Oklahoma who sought to join a Bogalusa based Klan cell got dragged to a deserted island for several days of “initiation rituals” which freaked her out so much she demanded to go home. Instead lead degenerate Raymond Foster shot the unidentified woman with a .40 caliber pistol then he and his fellow cult members burned her stuff and tried to cover up their crime.
From NOLA.com (who have pictures of the Klanners):
A Tulsa, Okla., woman who traveled to Louisiana to join the Ku Klux Klan was shot to death by the leader of the group’s Bogalusa chapter Sunday after she tried to back out of initiation rites at a remote, sandbar camp in northeastern St. Tammany Parish, authorities said Tuesday.
An investigation Monday resulted in the arrests of eight members of the Klan branch, which had flown under the radar of officials in St. Tammany and Washington parishes, investigators said. The suspects, all from the Bogalusa area, include Raymond “Chuck” Foster, who has been booked with murder in the shooting of the unidentified woman.
“It’s a situation that almost defies logic, ” St. Tammany Sheriff Jack Strain said Tuesday. “When you think you’ve seen it all, something like this occurs.”
The woman apparently learned about Foster’s group, the Sons of Dixie, through the Internet and applied so she could recruit others in Oklahoma, Strain said. Investigators have recovered the woman’s application to join the Klan and noted that she had requested that the organization waive its typical membership fee.The woman came to Louisiana by bus on Friday to begin her initiation into the group, Strain said. After several rites, including a head-shaving, she was taken to a camp on a sandbar, accessible only by boat, in the Pearl River Canal near Sun.
The initiation continued at the campsite, with rituals that consisted mainly of lighting torches and “running around in the woods, ” Strain said.
Sure that’s what they were doing. Running around the woods so freaked out this woman that she demanded to leave which so offended the rest of them that they killed her. Makes perfect sense, once you replace the words “running around in the woods” with “meth fueled blood orgy” that is. The story gets worse though:
Foster immediately moved to cover up the crime, Strain said. He quickly flipped the woman’s body over and tried to dig out the bullet with a knife before ordering his followers to destroy evidence, Strain said.
“That shows you the callousness of this individual, ” the sheriff said.
During the night, Klan members set fire to the woman’s belongings as well as the campsite and dumped her body near Lock No. 3 Road, about a half-mile from the shooting site, Strain said.
But it was the group’s effort to cover up the shooting that eventually put investigators on their trail.
Foster’s son, Shane Foster, and Frank Stafford showed up at the Circle K store on Louisiana 21 in Bogalusa early Monday morning and asked the clerk how they could remove bloodstains from their clothes, said Lt. Tom Anderson of the Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office. The clerk, who recognized the men, later called the Sheriff’s Office, and the men were soon found, Anderson said.
Alerted to the situation, St. Tammany Parish deputies then converged on the campsite while the remaining six Klan members fled. Deputies found the woman’s body and caught five of the suspects in the woods, Strain said. Foster turned himself in after being contacted by police, Strain said.
At the campsite, investigators found weapons, several flags, five white Klan uniforms and one black imperial wizard uniform. The uniforms are festooned with patches, including one that reads, “Kill ’em all and let God sort ’em out, ” and a pin shaped liked a noose.
“I can’t imagine anyone feeling endangered or at risk from these kooks, ” Strain said. “This Sheriff’s Office will not allow it. We’re not going to tolerate this in St. Tammany.”
Yeah well you dropped the ball on that one Sheriff. While the “Sons of Dixie” were flying under the radar of local law enforcement, other local racist kooks were complaining that the Klan in Louisiana, led by seditious traitor David Duke, were busy forming an alliance with Arab Muslims based around their hatred for Jews and “Bush’s wars.” This is a wide spread phenomenon I’ve blogged about before.
The Klan is a cult, pure and simple. I’ve little sympathy for a person who tries to join a dangerous anti-American cult and ends up getting killed by her fellow traitors. The death of this woman though should illustrate to the world just how depraved Klansmen are, and why I keep several guns in my house.
Update: Shadowscope has the Klanners MySpaces and the identity of the victim.
