I wrote this comment in your wife's video too. I read your book and want to comment on Kathy's illness. I had the same symptoms: numbness, fogginess, and I even had numbness in my face I had tests and the doctor could not find out what it was. I started taking Vitamin B12 and (not for the symptoms, but because a friend said Vegetarians should take them. They symptoms disappeared after a while and I've been taking them for 2 years now and they never returned.
dman that suks wat they did to Zeitoun!! thats y wen i get more money and get my own house, i will be buying weapons and i will be shooting anyone who tries to take me without justification !! especially on my dman property!!!FUCK THE POLICE!! IF THEY DID THIS TO THIS MAN. THEY ARE CAPABLE OF DOING IT TO ME OR ANYONE AGAIN!! power to the people!!!!
@thefuturebruin ur rite, but this shows that the police force can become dangerous in a chaotic time. sooooooooooooooo wen things go to shit, im sticking to my amendments.
Now that the N.O. police administration is being investigated for supposedly ordering police to "shoot to kill" in looting situations, it's a wonder these goons didn't just shoot Mr. Rahman.
I just finished reading Zeitoun by Dave Eggers as well, and was totally shocked, enraged, and horrified by what this poor man and his family went through, and the fact there has been NO JUSTICE for this family is the most frustrating of all. I really hope more people will hear the Zeitoun's story and that some good can come of this,
I just finished listening to audio book "Zietoun" well written, capitivating, and reveals, first hand through the experiences of this man, how our civil rights have completely erroded as well as the indifference many Americans show toward each other. Thankyou Abdulrahman!!
I'm reading the book and find it fascinating. The choice of venue for this interview was totally inappropriate... with all the noise and commotion, I cannot understand what Zeitoun is saying, particularly in light of his heavy accent. This should've been done in a MUCH quieter setting.
I second the original comment. "Zeitoun," by Dave Eggers, is an incredible tale--non-fiction, no less--of a man's unfortunate, shocking struggle with the very officers that his taxes paid to employ. A must-read about the predicament that Zeitoun's entire family had to endure, in this post-9/11 dystopia of a world.
I recommend reading the excellent book "Zeitoun" by Dave Eggers, which chronicles the story of what happened to Abdulrahman, his wife Kathy and their family during and after Hurricane Katrina.
hey, zeoy, got any videos of you beating your wife?
