Couple Finds Crosses Burning Outside Trenton Home
Detectives Await Return Of Evidence From Crime Lab

TRENTON, Mich. -- A biracial couple that moved to a Trenton neighborhood two weeks ago received a harsh welcome this weekend, Local 4 reported.

The man who lives at the home with his wife and 1-year-old daughter told the station that the family woke to find a cross burning outside their daughter's window two days in a row.

"I thought it was a dream," he said. "I just actually couldn't believe that people would do something like that."

Police caught two men leaving the area in a U-Haul van. A floor mat in the van appeared to have a stain or wet mark in the outline of a cross. It was soaked with what police suspect is a flammable liquid, the station reported.

A can of lighter fluid was also found near the home, but the men in the U-Haul deny being involved in the incident.

At least they didn't burn a koran.

What part of Dixie was this in?.................

[Piquaboy]

That would have really done it.

If it weren't for the fact that J.William Fulbright
(political mentor of The Most Ethical President In History)
was deceased,he'd be a prime suspect,for sure!

They are probably Officers in the local contingent of the Democratic Party. They are known for tire slashing, burning etc.

You consider Michigan as part of Dixie???

They are either socialist NAZIs or socialist Democrats. Either way, I would bet they are not registered Republicans.

Perhaps some sarcasm...

Saw the report on WDIV about this story. The owner of the house seemed really frightened & angry, as anyone would be. It's very sad that this still goes on.

This must be a mistake!!

[mpackard]

This makes me want to knock the piss out of someone.

[cweese]

I hope so. It'd be a stretch to include Michigan as part of the old south. Then again, some folks here never bother reading the articles :-)

[PilloryHillary]

Yes, it makes me very angry as well.

Missigican.... :-D

Trenton's in the "Downriver" part of democrat stronghold Wayne County. Trenton's a very white (95%) union area. It went 51% for Kerry and 53% for Gore.

If you lived in the south - you would understand. The south has always been portrayed as racist and the north a haven from it. Hence, the irony in the poster's comment.
