Three accused in Obama revenge racist attacks
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Three_accused_in_Obama_revenge_racist_0107.html

Three New Yorkers were charged Wednesday with a series of racist assaults meant as "retaliation" for the presidential election victory of Barack Obama, the Justice Department announced.

The three men -- two of them aged 18 and one 21 -- are charged with hate crime conspiracy and face up to 10 years in prison if found guilty.

Prosecutors accuse the trio of attacks against "African-Americans in retaliation for president-elect Barack Obama's election victory" on November 4, the Justice Department said.

Obama, whose father came from Kenya and whose mother was white, is the first African-American to win the presidency.

4. Good news!
Three little bastards, probably from Rosebank, drive down to Stapleton planning on violence. Typical racist thug reaction. I hope they get the full conviction, and then they'll be "schooled" themselves in prison.
