Questions About Post-Katrina Vigilante Violence?
The ProPublica/Nation probe of violence in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina has sparked intense discussions on a slew of blogs and Web forums—as of this posting, more than 500 people have commented on YouTube alone.
As the reporter on those stories and companion video, this week I’ll be part of the online conversation, answering your questions here. If you’re wondering how I got to know the gunmen of Algiers Point, what’s happened since the stories were published, or anything else, send your questions to ac.thompson@propublica.org, or leave them below in the comments section.

Do you know why the Federal Civil Rights Division did not or could not get involved in investigating and prosecuting these crimes? Or the FBI?

Impressive that I’m still hearing from people who just read your pieces. Seems like this news is still searing its way into the public consciousness. I’m wondering, have any other large media entities picked up on it? And what can you say about the odds of your advancing the story in the coming months?
