Attire
In recent weeks several of your articles have dealt with the violence of skinheads. A common focus seems to be on the attire (combat boots, spiked hair, tattoos, etc.). This to me is a dangerous illustration.
Walk down any major Los Angeles street and you can spot such attire. This does not a skinhead make. Interview the same and you will find for most it is only a statement of fashion, not fascism.
Perhaps if you focused more on the mentality and behavior of these twisted individuals known as skinheads the public would have a clearer picture of where the danger lies.
