Authorities are looking for inmates who escaped a south Louisiana jail over the weekend. Authorities say four inmates had escaped and two were still missing Tuesday.

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.

    You certainly do make a lot of judgements about people based on their demographics.

      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?

          I couldn’t care less what color you are. Your poor understanding of racism shows you come from some sort of place of privilege regardless.

            I hope that assumption helps you cope with the realization that you engage in casual bigotry.

              It really doesn’t. But then I looked through your comment history and I’m not really interested in what lessons someone who promotes the fossil fuel industry and Facebook might want to teach.

                  Can you link whatever comment(s) you misread to mean anything like that?

                  I could, but then you did all the personal attacks and along with a bunch of lies about me immediately following that question, so nah.

                    I guess you made up something terrible about me to make yourself feel better about having let yourself engage in casual bigotry. Typical. You’re dealing with a lot of cognitive dissonance right now.

                    Out for the day- see you tomorrow if you’re still obsessed!

        I don’t think you know what that word means.
