		<description><![CDATA[This Amish &quot;leader&quot; is by no means a &quot;leader&quot;. He &#039;cleansed&#039; women through sex? They could&#039;ve just taken a rather relaxing bath, but no, he&#039;d rather them come over and make his bed rock. Perhaps it&#039;s due to my ignorance that I pictured the Amish to be the less dramatic ones of society, but either way, their actions, or more like ONE man&#039;s actions, have changed the viewpoints earlier had by me over the Amish. Sorry, I just felt like my opinion had to be voiced. But then again, who doesn&#039;t feel like that?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of course there will be no court case with Dorner in it, but it will be interesting to find out what happens about the issues he raised concerning racism and corruption surrounding the officers that he worked with. 

I believe that people in communities where corruption is ripe amongst their local law enforcement are aware of it and it&#039;s damaging to the officers and their safety as well. Los Angeles police, last I read, have an average of seven assaults on officers a day. 

It&#039;s tough enough to deal with hardened criminals and organized crime but I believe it only makes matters far worse when they become what they &quot;allegedly&quot; despise.

Thanks Reynardine for the information and the link.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems a week can&#039;t go by without someone whining here about some crime somewhere being committed by a non-white person against a white person, and claiming further (still whining) that because Hatewatch didn&#039;t write  anything about said crime, Hatewatch is &quot;racist,&quot; &quot;a hate group,&quot; &quot;part of a liberal/homosexual conspiracy,&quot; etc. Virtually without exception, the story turns out to be either unreferenced at all (suggesting it originated from hearsay or outright fabrication) or, when referenced, turns out to be an interracial crime where no clear race bias was involved, which makes it irrelevant to the themes of this blog. That this recurs so reliably demonstrates how poor these people are at critical thinking, and what a bunch of hyper-emotional, knee-jerk whiners they are.]]></description>

Concernedcitizen, try following the link I gave Sam. You&#039;ll find it interesting. These days, of course, with cell phones that do everything, it would be much easier for someone in that situation to document what is going on.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@kiwiwriter Great Response! And I agree with you about the collection of evidence. I would love to hear the details and evidence come out in a court case regarding the Cop in Los Angeles. Which is a sad situation. He may have been subjected to hatred I just wish he had chosen a different path. Collected evidence, recorded their conversations etc. He could have done far more damage and made better advances for everyone had he just held it together. And I too felt that the manifesto bounced between &quot;alleged&quot; facts and his personal observations and well &quot;damaging lunacy&quot; that will serve as great evidence for the prosecution, if admitted. 

Also Kiwiwriter; wonderful responses to both Joe and Sam.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rey, I am not concerned in being like anybody. Some things are obvious to anybody with good horse sense, even if they hold wrong prejudices about Gay people, Black people, Spanish speaking people or anything else that is not their concern. In truth, most issues and situations are complicated. The ex cop is a tragic tale, as he would have been welcome on a lot of police forces, like Bloomington Indiana or Lexington Kentucky, out here in the flyover. The juvey in Brooklyn is merely an example of their absolutely failed legal system there. As for his motives, I don&#039;t care. A lot of isolated cases that reinforce an airhead Liberal philosophy get covered here without fitting the parameters of a hate crime.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, &quot;Not Surprised,&quot; I suggest you provide us with a link to that case.

&quot;Joe Schmoe,&quot; I suggest you improve your reading skills...there have been numerous articles about the Nation of Islam and the New Black Panther Party on this site and on Intelligence Report, ripping them bloody for their behavior.

And &quot;Sam Malloy,&quot; provide us with evidence that the teenager who threw the kid off the roof in Brooklyn did so because of ethnic or racial hatred. He might just be a garden-variety skunk.

Same thing with the nutter cop in Los Angeles. I read his manifesto, which alternates between complaints about the LAPD&#039;s behavior and outright lunacy. He might have a genuine complaint about LA cops banding to protect each other and racism. He might also be playing with a deck of only 23 cards. I&#039;d like to see more information first.

Until then, it doesn&#039;t seem to be a racial issue.

Like the courts of our land, I want to see evidence...and not a link to an overheated page for neo-Nazis, replete with ads for perpetual motion machines and survivalist gear.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sam, no matter how much you cotton up to the kind of people you imagine you are, they&#039;d still nail you to a barbwire fence if they could get you.

The policeman in Los Angeles is someone who got &quot;flaked&quot; for reporting a fellow officer. It&#039;s called the Blue Wall. That, needless to say, is not how to handle it, but &quot;flaking&quot; happens a lot, and it&#039;s a major trauma to anyone who undergoes it.  For details on this phenomenon, see www.bluewallnypd.com

As for the young thug in Brooklyn, unless he is operating as either a part of, or under the influence of, a hate group or hate propaganda, he is not within the purview of SPLC.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Also not mentioned, the 17 year old with a mile long rap sheet who threw a 9 year old neighbor off the 5 story high roof in Brooklyn.  Possibly, just possibly, because he is Black and none of those evil old guns were involved. Likewise the highly disgruntled ex LA cop who is striking such fear into those mighty men who have been videotaped beating Rodney King and dragging a 50 year old Hispanic woman out of a pickup truck to beat her. This perp is Black, and a fan of Obama and Rachel Maddow. Imagine the non stop articles you would run if he was White and some sort of John Bircher. Instead you give us an antique story about some very untypical Amish coots.]]></description>

How about posting a link? I get the feeling you&#039;re about as full of hot at over this assertion as you are about having ever supported the SPLC.

Liar, liar, plants for hire.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This man sentenced people to sleep days at a time in chicken coops?

Well chickens can make nice pets but I don&#039;t think you can house train them. This is absolutely nuts!

But I&#039;m really in awe that any women would go to his home so that he could cleanse her of the devil with sexual intimacy.
Are you serious?

How did that conversation go something like this: &quot;we will get that devil out of you, just come over to my place; I&#039;ve got something in my pocket for you!&quot;

Honestly, he might as well invited them in to look at his rock collection. What sort of spiritual leader is this man?

And as far as cutting of peoples beards and women&#039;s hair yes I agree it was done to bring about religious degradation and that does sound like a hate crime.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So you guys have written an article about Amish beard cuttings, but are still silent about the black male college student that killed three white women in Atlanta because they were white? Nothing. Zilch. Nada. SPLC would have an article up within an hour if it had been a white guy killing three black women because they were black. Just goes to show everyone once again that the SPLC is a biased joke. I can&#039;t believe I ever supported your garbage organization.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[and according to former Bush Administration drug warrior, Scooter Libby apologist, and Z list right wing blogger Bill Otis this prosecution obviously reflects the Obama Administration&#039;s hostility towards religion (link posted earlier today on thread about the prosecution of the Barefoot Grand Dragon or whatever ludicrously grandiose title he called himself).  Seriously, you just can&#039;t make something like this up 

15 years seems like a reasonable sentence for that nutcake.]]></description>
