UPDATE: ANOTHER VERY INTERESTING CONVERSATION, THIS TIME WITH GOVERNOR JINDAL’S OFFICE - Breaking: Exclusive New Orleans Beat-Down Update Via My Interview With The N.O.P.D. - “It Was Of A Political Nature”
Original Post
UPDATE: I just had another very interesting conversation with Governor Jindal’s press secretary Kyle Plotkin. He was friendly and helpful, up to the point where I began pressing him with questions as to how he knew that neither Allee or Joe had been wearing Sarah Palin pins. Was he there? Did they tell him? He refused to say how he knew, and in fact refused to answer any questions about the incident whatsoever, except to very emphatically repeat, about a dozen times, “They were NOT wearing Palin pins!” , especially after I told him about Rantburg’s post of today, citing an unnamed witness who absolutely contradicted the Governor’s position about the pins. He also asked me for information as to how to get to the Rantburg post, and I gave it to him. He then emailed me the Governor’s statement of two days ago, above which he wrote:
Pat – Our full statement is below. I want to reiterate that we are not aware of any evidence that the individuals involved in the altercation were protestors (sic). And again, I also want to point out that they were NOT wearing Palin pins.
Full statement:
Friday night, the Governor’s campaign fundraiser, Allee Bautsch, and her boyfriend were involved in an altercation in the French Quarter with a group of people.
While there were protestors around at that time, we are not aware of any evidence that the individuals involved in the altercation were protestors.
Allee’s leg was badly broken in the incident, she has had surgery, and she is facing a recovery time of two to three months. Her boyfriend had a concussion, and also a fractured nose and jaw. They are both expected to fully recover.
NOPD is investigating the incident and we are refraining from further comment to allow them to fully investigate and ensure justice is done. Our prayers are with Allee. She is a strong person and we are sure she will make a speedy recovery.
Why all this obsession with denial about the pins, is beyond me. I can only speculate that Governor Jindal is quite passionate about the truth, and/or quite passionate about the fuse of the powder keg of this country not being lit in his state, at least not at a time when front line elements of the warring parties are still co-mingling in the French Quarter.
First post of today, about my conversation with the New Orleans Police Department:
I just had a very interesting and somewhat confusing conversation with New Orleans Police Department Public Information Officer Bob Young.
Mr. Young confirmed to me that the New Orleans police had indeed taken statements from both of the victims, Jindal aide Allee Bautsch and her boyfriend, Joe Brown. He confirmed that in those statements, the victims reported that their assailants had indeed hurled “insults” at them, and the “insults” were, and I quote, “of a political nature”. Describing the entire attack, he went on to say “it was of a political nature”. I then repeated what he told me, and he confirmed it as accurate. I had a witness on the call, Mark Harvey of the Snooper Report, who can confirm this. However, for reasons I’m not clear about, when I pressed him again later, he began to backtrack a bit, perhaps with some cya in regard to his superiors, and he said that he was not authorized to give an official statement about the contents of the “insults”, and for the record, it had not officially been made clear to him what the contents of those “insults” were. He ended up going from “yes, it was of a political nature” to “I’m not sure”. Mark, an established blogger, was as baffled as I.
My read on this: he caught himself talking out of school in a relaxed opening with me, and then backtracked before he got his ass in trouble.
He then informed me that the lead detective on the case was one Detective Nick Gernin, a crack officer, one of the very best in the 8th Division, the Division assigned to cover the French Quarter. Detective Gernin had told him yesterday that he had “a couple of hours” of surveillance tapes to review last night. Mr. Young told me that the detective wasn’t in the office yet, but that as soon as he was, he would get a report from him as to the contents of those tapes, and he would call me with whatever there was to report about them.
Mr. Young also told me that there was no other new information to report on the case at this time, and that there were no named suspects on anybody’s mind or list.

This is a truly heinous crime of political intimidation by Democrats and other Leftists. This nice young couple was just working hard for a Governor and the ideas that they believe in, and the Democrats and other Leftists beat them so severely that their surgeons estimate a three month recovery.
ITS a HATE CRIME?
Take a good look at those pictures and ask yourself: Can you ever again see any Democrat or other Leftist public figure that has not owned that their own broke Allee and Joe’s bones, condemned the attackers and their cohorts, and apologized without also seeing these pictures in your mind and thinking that they are just a little complicit?
I never will!
This is probably the highest priority case that the NOPD is dealing with right now. You don’t think that Jindal wants some arrests and right fucking now…
Any mention on MSM? Have not seen it yet.
Hate crime? No, that only applies when some punk from the left gets it’s ass kicked. My bad.
And they need to be prepared for a lot of those in the very near future. They are beginning to cross a line that don’t have enough ‘troops’ to support.
excuse me: “that THEY don’t have enough ‘troops’ to support.”
Right on, Bobby! They’ve been pushing and pushing for years and they’re gonna be real shocked when we step up and shove back! I’m begging for some leftist punks to try this shit with me and the boys. Stay strong!
Pat,
Hardcore, ballsy, investigative journalism, that too few seem to have the guts for anymore, that you did on this story
Kudos
Indeed. Doing the job the Dinosaur Media can’t/won’t do any more. Right here. Right now.
Thank you.

I was alive when Ronald Reagan was Governor of California, (8y.o. to 16y.o.), and I know how he would’ve handle this situation, now we’ll get see if Jindal is or is not POTUS material.
What I mean by that is Jindal better have a GD blowtorch pointed at the NOPD, Nagan and the Detectives investigating.
Now we the free thinking are being HUNTED! The media won’t even cover it.
Obama will offer some mo,money to NO,landreau will call jindal,fund a pet project,and the whole thing is “forgotten”. Ha! Sorry kids,you are the wrong color to be in that shit-stinking swamp to begin with,much less hoping to see any justice for the wrong done to you.Hate crimes do not exist when they are perpetrated against whites.
Cracker’s gotta carry these days if he wants justice.
The pins seem beside the point. Allee Bautsch is Jindal’s Finance Director and thus a high profile person ubiquitously seen with and campaigning for the Governor and other high profile Republicans. The SRLC had been in town for days, and Democrat and other Leftists had been protesting and stalking prominent Republicans like Allee throughout the event. That this well known and highly visible Republican activist could only be recognized by her stalking attackers as connected to Jindal and or the SRLC if she wore a Palin pin is ludicrous.
I do not understand the gaming from Jindal’s office.
The political nature of this savage attack is obvious; and Pat received confirmation, with a fine bit of aggressive journalism IMO, directly from the NOPD.
I hope they get a real chief.
Forget finding the perpetrators. The victims were not chocolate enough for the Chocolate City.

Jindal’s spokesman
“Allee’s leg was badly broken in the incident, she has had surgery, and she is facing a recovery time of two to three months. Her boyfriend had a concussion, and also a fractured nose and jaw. They are both expected to fully recover.”

Pissed-off now?
Mike ,
Thats looks bad but it does not show 5 breaks as was reported on another blog
You’re correct, it only shows four.
Btw, where did you get 5 fractures from? It wasn’t me…I think.
Darn Friday nights.
Got it, the Megyn Kelly video in the other post on this.

During a severe ass kicking, I’m still trading my uncomfort for an ear, eye, ballsack or other identifier. A great souvenier to mount on your phiten neck band and a story to share at your next tea party.
You never really lose when ya come home with something.
It is time for a concealed carry law in New Orleans. A loaded gun is the best deterrent for thuggery. Didn’t Hussein shoot his mouth off about bringing a gun to the conflict? A group of guys were beating on a guy and he pulled his gun and shot two of them, end of fight. He didn’t kill them, but they ended up in the hospital. No charges filed against the shooter. He had a concealed carry permit.
One comment. Two questions.
This attack sure looks political to me.
Why does it appear the Governor wants to bury this story? They appear very reticent to comment. Surely by now they have interviewed the victims and know their side of the story.
The young woman is referred to as a “chief fundraiser”. That sounds pretty important for a 25 yr. old. Is she a prodigy like the Governor?
If they can do this to a high profile Governor’s people with impunity, they can do it to you and me.
Most of you are too young to truly remember the leftist violence of the 1960s and 1970s, and the leftists prefer that you never have a desire to research this. This beating is nothing surprising to me. Welcome to the leftist orgasm: Obama.
[...] is more confirmation that the assault was of a political nature as detailed yesterday by a reporter who spoke with the New Orleans Police [...]
God tried to flush this place down the crapper a few years ago. I would never spend one thin dime in this hell hole. Filled with Obamanites waiting to feed, there should be a hunting season on these O-zombies.
A fire burning down the entire city, followed by Katrina might have gotten the job done.
Call me stupid, but how did race get involved in this?
Where the police officers a different race?
Where the attackers a different race?
Are you hating on the Govenor for being a different race?
Don’t get it????
OK,Stupid..race is involved in the fact that had the victims been black and democrat the story would have overshadowed EVERYTHING on the msm.All we would have heard for weeks on end would be bullshit like,”Another example of tea bagger white hatred and oppression of poor black Americans”..
If you can’t see the soft tyranny of reverse discrimination constantly perpetrated now by obama’s Ministry of Propaganda these days you are totally blind.
Wake the fuck up.

Jindal is a politician and as such, he will weigh the political costs of personally getting involved. I live in Louisiana and this guy is in this game for himself. Don’t count on him for anything here!
He’s also a policy wonk. We was a behind-the-scenes, get-shit-done, kind of guy before he ran for elected office of any kind. Just because you’re not seeing official statements and press releases regarding this incident doesn’t mean Governor Jindal isn’t doing something about it.
Other attendees of the same event were stalked, pursued, and blocked from escape; but managed to elude the protesters assaulting them:
“Louisiana GOP Chair Villere: “Protesters came after us, but we managed to get away in a cab.”
In an interview this afternoon, Louisiana GOP Chair Roger Villere, Jr. told Lincoln Parish News Online he and several others were pursued by protesters last Friday night after a political fundraiser, but managed to get into a cab and avoid the mob. “We started to leave out the front door after the event, but the protesters had us blocked – there were six of us in our group – so we went out through the kitchen,” Villere said. Once they got outside, the protesters spotted them and began to pursue them, but they managed to get into a cab and avoid confrontation.
Later in the evening Allee Bautsch and Joe Brown were brutally beaten on the sidewalk outside the Louisiana State Supreme Court building, mere steps away from where protests had taken place.
Villere opined that what started out as a peaceful protest was infiltrated by “professional agitators” who were in New Orleans to protest the Southern Republican Leadership Conference (SRLC) that was held last weekend.”

I’m not engaging in victim blaming, but no decent person should EVER set foot in New Orleans. If the criminals don’t kill you, the cops will. But I repeat myself.
this is all part of obamas master plan in creating an emergency and capitalizing off of it…how is he going to capitalize off of it? take a bit of time and think about that one, whats coming up in November….who is deploying in October…..etcthe writing is on the wall and we call it Combat Indicators.

The victims Allee Bautsch and Joe Brown have issued their statements and have confirmed that the savages who attacked them had political motive and were remnants from the protests:
