County Board of Supervisors Chairman Michael Antonovich’s called Tuesday for tougher laws against so-called “Skinheads,” white supremacists who have been accused of committing hate crimes against non-whites.
The motion, which will be considered by the board next week, calls on the district attorney to “prosecute each suspect to the fullest extent of the law.” It also requests that authorities determine whether federal prosecution is warranted under civil rights statutes.
