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.

    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!

                  Ah, you’re doing the “I’m rubber, you’re glue” thing. Let’s go through your previous statement and show all the personal attacks and lies, shall we?

                  Can you link whatever comment(s) you misread to mean anything like that? Also thanks- weirdly flattering you’re that obsessed with me [Personal attack and lie]

                  Also not saying this is what’s happening but your behavior seems exactly like what you’d expect from someone that identifies as socially enlightened but knows they just got called on casual bigotry. [Personal attack] Extreme defensiveness and attacking the credibility of the person that made the challenge. Just saying you fit the profile pretty exactly. [Personal attack]

                  But that could be a good sign. You’ll never admit to me what you learned about yourself today [Lie, I learned nothing about myself from you] but a decent person will learn and make adjustments anyway. I think there’s still a chance you’re a decent person and will do just that after you get over being angry at me.[Lie.]

                  I’ll just start flagging you for the personal attacks and lies, shall I?

                  Edit: Done.
