Nevada skinheads on the hunt for Native Americans

http://rt.com/usa/news/nevada-bonta-family-lisa/


-snip of the bullying, violence skinheads cause Native Amer. and get away with it-

Former US Civil Rights Commission Chairman Arlan Melendez tells Racism Daily that “Nevada was always known as the ‘Mississippi of the West’ for its rampant racism. Up until the late 1950s, Indians had to be off the streets by sundown or face arrest.”

Over half a century later, it looks as if that hasn’t changed that much. Hate crimes are still rampant and injustice exists as the skinheads involved remain free and the Bontas are left crippled, financially, physically and emotionally.

-more on how racist, cruel the police are in Nevada-
-----------------------

I'm sure, if they wanted to, the Native Americans could 'outwit' the skinheads.

it can be done.

1. "Outwit the skinheads"
Hell, my dead grandmother could outwit the skinheads. She was Canadian and never a citizen of the USA even though she lived here longer than any skinhead.

2. There's a surveillance video of this incident which shows this for the hate crime that it is, yet...
The police there refuse to look at it, the leader of this racist gang is related to someone in the police department I think too.

There needs to be a federal investigation into this incident.

4. My grandfather and one uncle were men of the law in NV and
treated the local Shoshones like members of the community. Of course that was back in the previous century.
