in scary news, i guess the skinheads are causing some shit in my neighbourhood. i just heard about this today: On Saturday June 28th during Vancouver's annual Eastside Pride celebration
in Grandview Park a few participants noticed a group of neo-Nazi skinheads
destroying pride signs and stomping on them. Queers and allies confronted
them and were brutally assaulted; they were punched, kicked and thrown
into a vehicle. The skinheads were arrested and are expected to be
released on Monday June 30th.
i guess there was a rally on monday at the jail. i wonder how it went? this shit is pretty frightening. maybe the skinheads started getting excited after that big racist serbian band played in the neighbourhood recently. hmmm. anyway, does anyone know who or if any group is coming up with a response to this? was the rally a one off thing? maybe there should be an anti-skinhead or anti queer violence march on commercial this weekend. i think it would be good to show that we aren't going to put up with that kind of bullshit and that queers in this neighbourhood have support and we won't be pushed around by some dumb thugs.
