According Jeremy Scahill’s reporting in The Nation, Blackwater set up an HQ in downtown New Orleans. Armed as they would be in Iraq, with automatic rifles, guns strapped to legs, and pockets overflowing with ammo, Blackwater contractors drove around in SUVs and unmarked cars with no license plates.
“When asked what authority they were operating under,” Scahill reported, “one guy said, ‘We’re on contract with the Department of Homeland Security.’ Then, pointing to one of his comrades, he said, ‘He was even deputized by the governor of the state of Louisiana. We can make arrests and use lethal force if we deem it necessary.’ The man then held up the gold Louisiana law enforcement badge he wore around his neck.”

“Not anymore?”
“They’re all dead,” said Gleason.
The officer asked, “What happened?”
“We shot them,” said Gleason.
“How many did you shoot?
“Thirty-eight.”
“Thirty-eight people? What did you do with the bodies?”
“We gave them to the Coast Guard,” said Gleason.

my favorite moment in recent internet history is when this guy blew up on twitter and everyone was kissing his ass for doing this and then shortly after people found he isnt the biggest fan of gay people and had an identity crisis if they could support him anymore
Twitter will really hype people up just to dig into their past to use it against them when they’re no longer entertained. S*** is crazy.
