Conceptualizing Hate Crime in a Global Context
Indiana State University
Mark S. Hamm
Some excerpts :
At about 1:30 a.m., November 13, 1988, three teenage skinheads--heavily intoxicated with beer-encountered three Ethiopian immigrants on a rainy backstreet in Portland, Oregon. The skinheads had never met the immigrants before and viceversa. Unprovoked, the skinheads singled out one immigrant named Mulugeta Seraw, a slightly-built 27-year-old employee of Avis Rent a Car and father of one son. They set upon Seraw with a baseball bat and steel-toed boots, beating him savagely and shouting, "Die nigger, die!" When they were finished, the skinheads had fractured Seraw's skull in two places, killing him. Twenty-four-hours later, Portland police searched the three-room apartment shared by the skinheads. In the first room, they found baseball bats and clubs wrapped in barbed wire. In the second room, they found racist propaganda published by a Southern California organization known as the White Aryan Resistance. And in the third room, they found a small library on the rise and fall of Nazi Germany (Hamm, 1993).
