Four inmates escaped a south Louisiana jail over the weekend and two were still missing Tuesday, authorities said.
Authorities were unaware that four inmates had escaped until a phone call tipped them off, the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office said Monday.
The inmates escaped in pairs — the first on Saturday afternoon and the second on Sunday, said Deputy Chief Jimmy Travis at a news conference, WVUE-TV reported. Travis said all four broke through a corroded piece of chain-link fence, crawled under an 8-inch (20-centimeter) gap in a wall, and scaled two razor-wire fences.
Jail authorities learned of two of the escapes Sunday afternoon when a tipster reported seeing two of the inmates at a relative’s house looking for a place to stay.
What other common stereotypes would you feel comfortable invoking?
We could start with the racism. Let’s start with the fact that there’s a beloved monument to Confederate generals on the side of a cliff within view of many black Atlanta residents…
Do you find any irony in using people that use racist stereotypes to justify their own racism to justify your own regional stereotypes?
Sorry… you’re claiming that when I say that Southerners sometimes live up to their stereotypes is the same thing as racism?
I mean I gave an example. Or are you going to claim that Stone Mountain, pride of Georgia, is not a big racist symbol that everyone has to look at all the time?

Okay, you go ahead and believe they’re equivalent. I doubt a most people of color would agree with you, but…
You certainly do make a lot of judgements about people based on their demographics.
Good little sealion.
I don’t think you know what that word means.
I really don’t think I’m wrong, but if you don’t want to believe that black people don’t think the South has a reputation for racism, you go ahead and believe that.
Do you believe black people know that bigotry can take the form of prejudice against race and origin, among other things? What color do you think I am?
