Crosses Burned on Interracial Couple's Lawn in Philly
I'm contacting them, and following up on this case:
Hate Crime Victim Calls The Crime, 'An Act Of Stupidity'
(09/10/04) by KYW's John McDevitt
Two South Phildelphia men have been arrested and charged in connection with Tuesday morning's cross burnings behind the home of an interracial couple.
The couple's nextdoor neigbor, 44-year-old John Dixon of the 2800 block of Ernst Street and another neighborhood man, 34-year-old Albert Martin of the 2500 block of South 29th Street face a list of charges including ethnic intimidation and reckless endangerment of another person (both suspects are caucasian.)
The men are accused of setting two crosses on fire behind the home of 27-year-old Michael Dillon and his fiance Ebony Willams on Tuesday.
She is African American.
Dillion is causian. He says the whole thing makes no sense:
"To tell you the truth, there is no message. It's just a crime of stupidity."
The couple and their six month old son have only lived in the home for one week.
