Reminder: New Orleans is an American city

I'm pretty sure to have posted the link for this video and that the post was deleted for some peculiar reason, but this is a very important interview with a Syrian-American residential developer in New Orleans whose wife left with their children for Baton Rouge while he stayed behind and used his canoe to try to help people in need; and the state acted in fascist police state, racist, ... ways against him for no other reason than his name seeming Arab or Asian.

This is a NEW ORLEANS STORY! Try refraining from practicing nonsensical [censorship] of this New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina story. This page is about New Orleans, the people this interview is about are New Orleaners, and if you don't want to view this, then other people very well may; and should. Mr Zeitoun spent considerable time imprisoned for no valid reason, became considerably ill, the state refused him medical care all while the state had no charges against him, et cetera, and he went through this to help other New Orleaners!

Today, a personal story of a national tragedy. Five years ago, Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. Abdulrahman Zeitoun, a Syrian-born New Orleans building contractor, stayed in the city while his wife and children left to Baton Rouge. He paddled the flooded streets in his canoe and helped rescue many of his stranded neighbors. Days later, armed police and National Guardsmen arrested him and accused him of being a terrorist. He was held for nearly a month, most of which he was not allowed to call his wife, Kathy. Today, in a rare broadcast interview, Abdulrahman and Kathy Zeitoun join us to tell their story, along with the man who chronicles it in the book Zeitoun, Dave Eggers.
