Where is the video of the sticker picker…..is there one, and has it been released?

I’d check the alibis of the owners of P.O. Box 91, Athol.

You know, I wonder why, when something like this is done, it’s not against the hate crime laws to suffer a Caucasian. Where is the equal rights under the law? I received one of the hate leaflets the other day. If I had been black or Hispanic or damn near anything but European homogenized, I could have got the bugger for more than littering.

No, Herb. If one of them violently attacked you shouting “Damn Whitey!” or something along those lines, you might have a case. A hate crime is typically violent in nature. Tossing racist garbage onto lawns may be idiotic and annoying, but it doesn’t constitute a hate crime.

Orange, have you heard if they got anyone on camera placing that sticker? If one remembers it was out in the paper that there was video cameras set up.
