Opinion: Sheriff must conduct a full, transparent investigation into alleged hate crime in Lakeside [Opinion]
This history demands that an alleged hate crime reported at an apartment complex in Lakeside on Saturday night be investigated transparently and fully by the Sheriff’s Department. According to the department, a 16-year-old White boy wasMonday on suspicion of stabbing a 16-year-old Black girl twice in the back after the victim had been taunted with racial slurs by a group of teens. A juvenile girl believed to be the boy’s girlfriend was also arrested on suspicion of brandishing a weapon.
Given that the suspect’s father allegedly stood by during the attack and also yelled racial slurs, any such assurances will ring hollow. Everyone must hope that details emerge and justice is served in this case — and that one day the mortifying parts of our history will stop repeating themselves.
