A 20-year-old African American woman was attacked and set on fire by three men who proceeded to carve "KKK" on her car. The woman is in critical condition in a Louisiana Hospital. Her name, Sharmeka Moffitt originally from Winnsboro, suffered extensive and severe burns down her neck all the way to her calves. She claimed she was "doused in flammable liquid by three assailants wearing white hooded sweatshirts.
Both Local and State police have not officially classified this incident as a hate crime, and according to the Louisiana paper "These are very unusual and troubling circumstances and won't be taken lightly," Police have not figured out the race of these men, nor have they found any suspects.
However it is known that racism remains "prevalent throughout Louisiana.", and six neo-Nazi groups identify themselves with the Ku Klux Klan!
That's horrible! How anyone could hurt people is a mystery, no matter race or religion...
