Alexandria, Virginia. A black man walking through a neighborhood
went over to a white eight-year-old boy playing in his great-
grandparents� front yard and slit the child�s throat, killing
him.
A witness says that the attacker shouted racial epithets during
the attack, and the main suspect in the case owns anti-white
hate literature and had written a note about killing white
children.
He had been previously arrested for attacking an unarmed white
stranger with a hammer. (During the attack, he called his victim
�Whitey.�)
This particular case provides a perfect example of the terrible
way that anti-white hate crimes are handled.
First, the investigators decided not to tell police officers
about the racial aspects of the case, even while the police were
conducting a manhunt to find the boy�s killer.
When this was revealed by the Washington Post, city council
member Joyce Woodson defended this withholding of information
from the cops on the front line.
�What they did was proper. We already live in a racially charged
world.�
The Democratic mayor of Alexandria implied his agreement:
�Efforts to sensationalize this investigation will only hurt
this investigation.�
To make things even stranger, the FBI offered to send agents and
a fugitive task force to help with the manhunt, but the local
police rejected the offer.
They also refused the help of the FBI�s profilers, forensics
experts, and others.
Eventually, the police arrested a suspect who was reportedly
tied to the scene by DNA evidence.
In another bizarre move, the Justice Department � which had
acknowledged that it was monitoring the case � declined to
prosecute the killing as a hate crime.
The government�s prosecutor in the case cannot charge the victim
with a hate crime.
�There�s no applicable hate crimes law in Virginia,� he
explained.
An editorial in the Washington Times pointedly commented on the
deafening silence surrounding the brutal child-murder:
�Has anyone seen Jesse Jackson around lately? Kweisi Mfume? Al
Sharpton?
For persons whose political antennae are ordinarily so sensitive
that they can pick up racial tremors a thousand miles away, they
seem to have overlooked a possible hate crime right here in the
vicinity of the nation�s capital.�
