S.D. Man Dragged Behind Vehicle In Hate Crime 6:40 am PDT, 25 August 1999 By Patricia Phillips What police are calling a "hate crime" and another official says is simply a crime resulting from "alcohol and dope" has left a South Dakota man in critical condition after being beaten, dragged behind a vehicle, and left for dead on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Three people, including one juvenile, have been arrested for the attack on 21-year-old Brad Young of Martin, SD. Young is white and his three assailants are all Indians. This marks an unusual role-reversal for a hate crime, in which minorities are most likely to be the victims. Because of the racial differences, Bennett County Sheriff Russel Waterbury has identified the attack as a hate crime. He said that Young was found abandoned in the weeds several hours after the attack. His ears were torn off, and a rope that had been used to drag him behind a vehicle was still around his neck. Waterbury also said that Martin had been kicked so many times in the face by people wearing steel-toed boots that it was hard to tell who the victim was. However, County Commissioner James Slattery disagreed with the sheriff's "hate crime" label, saying that he heard the crime grew out of a drinking and dope-using session. Young reportedly bought the alcohol that all of the men consumed. Because the crime occurred on an Indian reservation, the FBI is investigating. The attack is eerily similar to a 1998 attack in Jasper, Tex., when three white men dragged James Byrd Jr., a black man, to his death behind a truck. What effect, if any, the incident will have at a nearby encampment and demonstration against liquor sales in Whiteclay, Nebraska, is yet unknown. For several weeks, Native American activists have been protesting Whiteclay, a small reservation border town that consists solely of stores selling liquor. Several protest marches have been held, the first of which resulted in some property damage, although all the rest have been peaceful. The encampment, which has brought the state governor to meet with Lakota Tribe members from Pine Ridge, also questions the legality of White Clay property being used for the liquor sales. The activists claim that the land was actually ceded to the Lakotas in treaties, and that the stores are sitting on Indian land without permission. The protesters have delivered "vacate" notices to the stores, saying that the stores are part of Pine Ridge's alcoholism problems. The reservation, visited by President Clinton earlier this summer, is the poorest place in America, with high rates of alcoholism and unemployment. The encampment, which includes representation from the American Indian Movement (AIM), grew out of protests started by a Lakota Indian protesting the mysterious deaths of two relatives, who were found beaten to death and left alongside roadways between White Clay and the reservation. Local Indians say that there have been a series of gruesome killings that white off-reservation law enforcement officials have largely overlooked. 7am.com

Using tobacco is the one PC unforgivable sin. Might not be able to get away with this one.

Makes me wish Freud was still around! I think he would have a field day with this one. Not that I am implying anything about cigars in general, but given what we know about Clinton's fixation about the cigar, and the fact that he is impotent to the extent that he can only do oral sex, well, one has to wonder, doesn't one?

Rapist King's Spokesman Denies Rapist King Smoked Cigar Despite being photographed smoking a cigar two days ago by the Boston Herald, The Rapist King's spokesperson Lockhart denied that the Rapist King ever smoked a cigar. The Rapist King reportedly felt that that stupid peons couldn't see smoke in the picture and therefore he would continue to tell they should think and what they shouldn't think. "The idiot public will believe whatever I say", said the Rapist King, "witness me wagging my finger at the Senate about raping that woman -- Ms. Broaderick and then they roll over and do what I tell them during the Impeachment. They celebrated me in the Rose garden after the House vote. drudgereport.com
