FBI Investigates Moraga Hate Crime Report
NBC Bay Area ^ | Tue, Sep 8, 2009

Posted on 09/09/2009 1:09:10 AM PDT by nickcarraway

What was supposed to be a Labor Day Weekend full of barbeques and bocce ball turned into an ugly situation for one San Francisco couple. Tni and David Newhoff spent the night with their in-laws in Moraga at their home on Wandel Drive. The family awoke to find a cross covered in a white cloth with "KKK" scralwed on it in the driveway early Monday morning. Tni is black and her husband is white. Police are calling the case an apparent hate crime.

Tni told NBC Bay Area's Garvin Thomas that she had stayed at the home many times over the couple's ten years together and have never had any trouble with neighbors. David said he wants people to know that this kind of thing still happens all over the country, even in upscale Moraga.

Tni told the Contra Costa Times, "The obvious answer is it happened because I am black and someone was unhappy about my being there."

Moraga police and the FBI are both investigating the case

I have to wonder too this being in the pretend fantasy capital of the US. Interesting name Tni and bocce ball. Thought that was a senior citizen popular game up north?

Yeah, me too. Somehow I don't see the San Francisco Bay area eat up with Klansmen. I would venture to guess this couple needed some attention.

A little too sure of themselves, perhaps?

Tni and David Newhoff

Count the sheets in their linen closet. If a set is missing a matched sheet, you’ve found the “KKK.”

Tni.

Obviously she grew up in a very poor family. They wanted to name her “Tina” but couldn’t afford the “a”.

LOL.

Skeptical is a good way to describe my feelings on this one. I doubt most in the community even knew they were there and never spent a minute worrying over it.

Black-White marriages these days are Passe’ , as common as house flies.

Interesting what does...and doesn't...get treated as a hate crime in this country.

An example of the latter....

Signs and signatures offer support to Christian and Newsom families

Why should I care? Show me the concern, outrage and kumbaya for “hate crimes” against whites? Show me where “people of color” in general give a damn about crimes against white people or for that matter other concerns of white people? Show me where people of color support groups specifically aimed at social, racial & political issues and concerns of white people? Otherwise piss off.

The KKK needs a brand image change. JJJ or LLL would throw everyone for a loop and allow the triple letter terrorist organization to wreck havoc for a while before anyone connected the dots.....

"Police are calling the case an apparent hate crime."

I thought hate crimes were when the victim was attacked or his property vandalized due to his race or religion. What crime was committed here? Littering? Was this "hate littering"?
