Xenophobic Fools

Within a very short period of time a gang of Russian skinheads committed 19 racially motivated murders and 12 assaults on "immigrants".
There are currently over 142 million people living in Russia and many of those citizens are not born nationals. This has many nationalists up in arms, claiming that "foreigners" are taking away their jobs and basic economic rights. This year alone, 86 people were killed in Russia based on "racial grounds".
The skinheads that committed the crimes were bold (or stupid) enough to record them on cellphone cameras and post them on the web.
President Putin was quoted as saying that Russia would crack down on racist violence after human rights leaders complained that the police were actively ignoring these attacks and doing nothing to protect the public.
Exile these guys to Siberia and be done with it!
