David Duke asks supporters to keep pressure on media and government in Duxbury, Massachusetts. New Orleans, Louisiana, January 1, 2000 ... David Duke is asking European American civil rights activists and supporters to keep up the pressure on Massachusetts media, government and churches in the wake of hate crimes charges being filed against two 15 year-old girls in Duxbury, Massachusetts. The two teens are facing felony hate crime prosecution for spraying paint balls on a neighbor’s home December 15, for not decorating their house for Christmas. The family turned out to be Jewish. In a press release issued December 29, Duke stated: "These laws are being abused to make examples of two little girls, who made the mistake of playing a childish prank on a neighbor," said Duke. "It's amazing how a childish prank is a hate crime while the December 23 rape, sodomy and assault of a White New York City producer by a Black attacker, who screamed racial obscenities while committing the raping, isn't a hate crime," added Duke. "This is nothing more than discriminatory, selective prosecution of Whites." Duke, an outspoken critic of Hate Crime legislation, says hate crime laws are being used selectively to designate Jews and other minorities as special classes of citizens, with special rights. "Minorities are already protected by current civil rights laws. These laws are un-American and dangerous," said Duke. Duke is calling on prosecutors to drop charges against the teens, adding that community service and a cleaning bill is a more appropriate punishment for vandalism. "I don't condone what these girls did, but to charge these two children with a serious hate crime is a clear example of how these laws are being abused," said Duke. Duke is asking supporters to call and e-mail the offices listed below and keep pressure on elected officials and the media in Massachusetts. Duke is also calling on local churches to get involved and take a stand on behalf of these teenage girls. Your letters and calls are making a difference. Make your voice heard!
