Arizona hate-crime forum
Following an anti-Mormon attack on two teens, the Mesa, Ariz., Police Department is holding a community forum about hate crimes tonight.
Bill Strauss with the Arizona Anti-Defamation League says recent attacks on Mormons may linked to the raid on the FLDS compound in Texas.We have noticed, in at least one school, an up-tick in anti-Mormon graffiti. I am starting to think that maybe the prominence in the headlines has got people thinking along the lines of the Mormon faith and what makes them different.
Two Gilbert, Ariz., teens were shot at with a pellet gun, then attacked physically and verbally by two other teens, who asked the victims whether they were Mormon.
The suspects, later arrested, face charges of aggravated assault, disorderly conduct and illegal consumption of alcohol.

It's sick. Some groups are persecuted no matter where they go.
I hope the little punks who attacked those two are locked up for a long time. And I hope Mormons will fight back, too. No sense in turning the other cheek, people. Live by the Old Testament in today's world.
