-Caveat Lector- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: 2 Sep 1999 01:46:21 -0000 From: HateWatch Updates <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: List Member <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: HateWatch News for 9/2/99 HateWatch Updates - http://hatewatch.org HateWatch News for Septmeber 2, 1999 **S. Dakota cases raise questions on hate crimes** his week, when police charged three young Indians in the brutal beating of a Martin, S.D., white man named Brad Young, the story went national. Never mind that beatings rarely get even local news coverage unless they're fatal. The beating of Young, who remains in critical condition, won space in newspapers from coast to coast. Television programs such as NBC's ``Today'' also gave coverage to the beating. To some American Indians, the difference in news play is clear evidence of racism http://www.pioneerplanet.com/seven-days/5/news/docs/034705.htm **France to Prosecute Alleged Nazi** A French judge recommended Wednesday that accused Nazi war criminal Alois Brunner be tried in absentia for allegedly deporting 250 Jewish children to Auschwitz, where they died, judicial sources said. The recommendation by French Investigative Judge Herve Stephan paves the way for what is likely to be France's last World War II war crimes trial. A French criminal court will set a trial date, the judicial sources said. http://search.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WAPO/19990901/V000845-090199-idx.html **Ft.Campbell Murder 2nd Hearing** Hearings began August 30 at Fort Campbell in Kentucky regarding the murder of Private First Class Barry Winchell, a suspected hate crime since Winchell was perceived by his colleagues to be gay. An earlier "Article 32" hearing, which combines some of the elements of civilian grand jury and preliminary hearings, had considered whether PFC Calvin Glover should be tried on a charge of first-degree murder in the July 5 baseball bat attack; http://www.planetout.com/pno/news/article.html?1999/08/31/1 **A Love-hate thing** Some observers heralded the domain hijack of godhatesfags.com from a family of 12 gay-hating Kansas civil rights attorneys as the "Stonewall of the '90s," but the action is raising First Amendment and online security questions. "Some anonymous hacker out there did this, and deserves a lot of credit", said Richard Mackey. A Boston-based online hate tracker doesn't agree. "Its relevance has no lasting power," said David Goldman, founder of Hatewatch.org. "In fact, I think that as a tactic to be used by the civil rights community, it's a misguided one." Goldman says limiting Phelps's speech, even temporarily, "takes away one of the greatest advantages the civil rights community has on the Web: exposing bigots using their own words." http://www.villagevoice.com:80/columns/9935/ladd.shtml **U.S. prepares for possible Y2K violence** The U.S. government is preparing for possible violence from cults, guerrillas, hate groups and end-of-world-fearing zealots as 2000 approaches. Law enforcement officials are working on contingency plans to cope with everything from cyber attacks to bombs at New Year's Eve parties, though they say they lack knowledge of specific, credible threats. http://detnews.com/1999/technology/9909/01/09010143.htm **When hate lurks around the corner** For years, some residents of a Willow Glen neighborhood of stately trees and charming homes have been on guard and slightly uncomfortable. The reason: a group of tough-looking youths who gathered outside a home in the neighborhood. They wore shaved heads, Army fatigue pants, T-shirts and combat boots. They smoked cigarettes, played pool and kicked around tennis balls they'd set afire. ``It's a constant worry,'' said a mother who lives nearby. ``I worry about the safety of my child and other people who live in the neighborhood.'' This week, their fears were realized. http://www7.mercurycenter.com/premium/front/docs/bombfolo01.htm ______________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN Messenger Service lets you stay in touch instantly with your family & friends - Visit http://messenger.msn.com DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
