Public supports family in cross-burning case
Posted by alex_c on February 24th, 2010
“Tips are flowing in from the public about a cross-burning this week in a small community in Hants County, RCMP say.
Early Sunday morning, Shayne Howe and his family looked out to find a two-metre high cross, with a hanging noose, burning on their front lawn of their home in Poplar Grove, just outside of the town of Windsor, N.S. Someone also shouted racial slurs.
Police suspect at least two people were involved, and they’re urging anyone with information to come forward.”
