Hicks = Shit. Police = Shit.

If I can be the voice of reason here, vigilante antics will not help much and will probably put us all in a worse situation than we are in now.
I say call it a hate crime, charge the police officers will racial prejudice and get the ACLU up here.

I really don't think it's a racial issue. What did you want him to do about it? You have no proof they keyed your car, and as for the pushing, you could always file some assult charges, but they aren't going to take someone into jail for pushing. If you want, I can take a look at the scratches and see if I can buff them out. If I can't do it, the guys at SLD might be able to.

It was a bunch of hicks in a chevy van that wanted a little asian kid to move his vehicle before they rammed into it. Then they pushed him and keyed his vehicle. The scratches weren't in there before he ran inside but they were there after he went inside. It was the responsibility of the police officers to investigate further, they should have got the keys from the hillbillies that were in the room and checked for remnants of paint on the keys. In their failure to do so they did an incomplete investigation of an alleged crime. I can guarantee you that had it been a $80000 mercedes owned by a banker, doctor, etc... the cops would have handled the matter differently. Since they handled it the way they did I would have to assume it was because the individual did not appear to have the ability to press the issue through further legal means. Since this individual was also of a minority I am assuming that they made this judgement in part due to his ethnic background, therefore it would fall under a racial prejudice and the officers should be reprimanded accordingly. All of this could have been avoided had they treated Mr. Ross with the same type of respect and decency that you would treat a more well to do caucasion.

Paint transfer on the keys, Have them check it. it probably was racial, or "Rice"ial, I know you're not ricey but it could be. File assault charges, you probably can't get their names from the hotel, but the cops can, and you can Identify them, you do not need to wait to call, call now, If they swing at you or threaten in a way like that it is assault, if they actually touch you it's assault and battery, if you push an officer, that's what they would charge you with. Are there security camera's at the hotel? Ask to speak to the patrol supervisor, do not let this go away! THis is bullshit, I believe that we can all call to inquire about the situation and how it was handled, call the news stations, they may want a story. I'll call and ask for a comment about it.

Chuck get this on the air if you can. That's fucked up that this happened, and even more fucked up that the cops refused to do anything about it especially while the people WERE STILL THERE!! Jim I'm sorry this happened to you man, wow.

I do agree that if he were a well to do asian, he would have been treated the same as a well to do caucasion. I think it has more to do with his financial status than his race.

Fargo street needs to all come out and support this too. Has anyone checked the police logs to see what's there?

Do you think they would have checked it out more if I called the cops? I think they would have and I drive a rice burner too, heck mines ricier than jims. I was serious about the ACLU, contact them and see what happens....just be ready for some huge publicity.

Let's also be honest - Most of your guys car's are flagged, bad. If you don't think local authorities know you cruise around on a religious basis, your dead wrong. They will not like you, just for the pure fact that you are flagged and will be watching your every move.
Just one of the things you'll have to accept.

^^^Agreed^^^^ good Idea, we may be flagged but there is no need for shit like this.
