“Don’t worry, we’re only shooting whites”

Via comment by Anonymous on The cop-killing cult of Larry Davis


When Mark Essex was in the Navy, he said he wanted to become a dentist. Two years later he gunned down 19 people, including 10 police officers.

Thirty years before a pair of serial snipers terrorized Washington, D.C., Mark Essex prowled the streets of New Orleans with a .44-caliber Magnum rifle. During a weeklong reign of terror, he launched a series of surprise attacks against the city’s police department, its citizens, and its visitors.

Essex’s rampage ended in the bloodiest shootout in New Orleans history and the deadliest day ever for its police department.

  1. Chilling in some aspects. One sniper did all this. When it comes to crime,
    they are not stupid, when all is said and done. So, are there more like this?

    1. I am sure, but most don't have a death wish as that would be what it would take to begin similar.
