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.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
