Slain woman was part of KKK ritual (LA)

[MountainLaurel]

A woman found slain in rural St. Tammany Parish on Monday was shot to death by the head of a Ku Klux Klan chapter from Bogalusa after she tried to back out of an initiation ritual, St. Tammany Parish authorities announced Tuesday.

Investigators have not positively identified the woman yet, but believe she is from the Tulsa, Oklahoma, area, St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Jack Strain said. She apparently had come to Louisiana by bus after applying to join the organization over the Internet and had intended to start recruiting others in Oklahoma, he said.

The woman and eight members of the Klan were in the Sun area camping Sunday night when she apparently attempted to leave, sparking an argument with Raymond "Chuck" Foster, 44, of Bogalusa, who acted as the group's "imperial wizard," Strain said. Foster shot the woman during the argument with a .40-caliber handgun, he said.

All eight of the people at the campsite have been arrested, Strain said.

My partner and I were just talking about this group last night after he did a search on SPLC's hate groups match.

2. I've always been against the death penalty

But this story makes me think about re-thinking my position.

Right now I'd like nothing more than to see a public hanging of all these murderers!!! So people could see what their own fate is if they get involved with this sort of bullshit!!!

:cry:

3. After applying for entry into the club and meeting them in person, she decided....

it wasn't really for her.

Better late than never, I suppose.

4. I can't actually think of a comment on this part:

..The investigation started after two of the Klansmen, Frank Stafford and Shane Foster, showed up at a Circle K in Bogalusa early Monday morning and asked the clerk how to get bloodstains out of clothing, authorities said. Investigators were able to track down these suspects and eventually found the other six in the woods near Sun.<<

Discuss among yourselves.
