In 1972, Ishmael Muslim Ali LaBeet and four other killers walked into the Fountain Valley golf club in the Virgin Islands. They rounded up four Florida tourists and four employees, forced them to kneel on the ground, and opened fire.
That was how the Fountain Valley Massacre began.
Afterward LaBeet and his fellow murderers were swarmed by civil rights attorneys eager to claim that their clients had been tortured into confessing. But the claims of torture were undermined by LaBeet.
At his trial, Ishmael LaBeet yelled, "I killed them all. I don't give a f__. I killed them all.”

Coming up for air on this one. I was living in St.Thomas at this time, having just gotten a job teaching in the Catholic school there. I was in a carpool to get from my neighborhood to the school, along with an older woman was riding to her job as a housekeeper. As it turned out, her son was a gardener at the golf course on St. Croix where this murderous asshole open fired on "whitie" - his collateral damage was a young black man who left a grieving mother and the rest of us in shock.
ReplyDeleteThanks again Obama for showing us whose side you are on.
Didn't know about that. Thanks and if you have more to elaborate upon from there, I would be happy to post it.
DeleteWe always had a good contingent of Cubans attending my military school and quite a few went back to fight Castro, two were killed and one was grievously tortured before they shot him. A nice lad and it makes you feel so bad.
This is a pretty good recap and update - look who flew down there to help defend these poor misunderstood guys... Kunstler!
