Skinhead violence surging, watchdog group says

Ya know, I read a lot of news, and I've not noticed any "surge" in skinhead violence. So just to check this out further, I Googled the news for stories: 169 results, a tiny number. For comparison, the same search for "murder" yields over 70,000 hits.

I wonder which group made this claim? Who thinks skinheads are "surging"?

It's the Souther Poverty Law Center (SPLC), of course. Why am I not surprised? They must be running behind in their fundraising goals: which are apparently the only goals they have.

Violence by skinhead gangs in the United States is on the rise because of splits in the extreme right movement, a U.S. watchdog group said Friday.
