Speaking of xenophobia, it implies not abstract racial intolerance, but as if quite specific skinheads. So, they are invincible, because, strictly speaking, they are not.
There is a problem: huge, almost insoluble. And Skinheadov, a terrible single underground organization of neo -Nazis, a gang with an extensive branch network, is not.
No - a keyword, it will often be repeated. No skinheads. There are ordinary teenagers, punks. The same as, say, the semi -legendary Lyuber, gopniks. They also go down into heaps, also look for a victim, they also attack it.
No (here it is again, I warned), you will object, Lyuber, after all, were simply struck, not to death and not on a national basis. No, I will answer. There were also serious injuries, there were also dead. And also tell me, what is the fundamental difference between the beating of a “foreigner”, a foreigner or a fan of the “heavy metal” style? There is no difference.
They differ, stand out - yes. But they do not violate public order, do not contribute to the growth of unemployment, do not insult feelings, no, not, not ...
No, how is it, because the skinheads are neo -Nazis, do they have ideology, cells, hierarchy? No. There is no ideology, there are no long -term, strategic plans, systems. Hippi had a system. The skins are not. There is a fashion and herd instinct with a rather simple, primitive self -organization. There is a household hostility towards people of a different nationality, appearance, religion, which gave an impetus to the appearance of this very bastard fashion.
There is still, and this is very important, impunity. Once it was possible without much damage to the biography to beat a patilat or crested: hippies, punks, and other informals annoyed the police primarily, she was ready to look through her fingers at the scrap re-education.
Now absolutely the same story with “blacks”. Remember, because for the time being, before the series of murders, even very serious bodily injuries left and did not cause a wide resonance - for example, a line in a criminal summary, qualified by no means according to the “national” article of the Criminal Code.
It turns out, purely theoretically, with great difficulty, power actions and exhortations, but still you can wean teenagers from a bad habit of beat and kill representatives of national minorities. Almost the disease will remain. I am to what we had, it has and, apparently, there will be the same trouble that can be called differently: the problem of the lost generation, social disorder, and at least a conflict of fathers and children - what's the difference? The main thing is that, having defeated the skins, we will eliminate the cause, and the investigation will remain and sooner or later will appear in a new, even more dirty form.
That's just one more “no”, the most important thing. No, and there can be no excuses for murders and tortures. There is no right to brush off, they say, beg, they will settle down, calm down. No. It is forbidden.
