The sad part is most people, not all, only believe that hate crimes have black victims and domestic abuse only has female victims. I know that some of you here do not think that, but I'm just saying. Both crimes happen to a lot of different people, you just rarely hear about them. Either way, the crap has to stop people.

If someone wants to get their racist messages out these days, the media is always happy to oblige. It's just giving them the mass exposure they're looking for. Whether it be positive or negative, it's still exposure.

People like Marlin Hawkins and Tommy Robinson made jail time rough and made criminal life hard for those choosing to be a criminal. The prison system is a joke. Make it tough on them, make them learn a lesson, make them fear going to prison and maybe, just maybe, that will keep some out of prison.

My Dad knew Marlin. Funny thing is I never knew many people he didn't like. But of those he didn't like Marlin Hawkins was No. 1 on the list. I agree racism was high in his era. My main wish is that things could get better. There isn't room for it in my life.

RGilbert, I lived in Conway County during the Hawkins reign, and youre 100% right, it was rough. I agree with toaster oven, whoever did this is a total piece of trash. I dont care if it was an idiot white group that did it or if it was a group of hispanics (doubtful cause it was written in english) or if it was a group of black people crying for attention and money to re-do the building, it was wrong not only in a legal point of view, but also in a moral aspect. It is people like this that keep the racism alive in Arkansas and America.

And I suppose SDAbbott the White Supremacist group in Russellville (who by the the founder moved here Tennessee around 1974) doesn't qualify as a hate group huh.
