According to a report in the Nation covered by Democracy Now, a group of white vigilantees in the neighbourhood of algiers point shot at least 11 african american men, some fatally. The authorities have made no investigations. Please do watch the Democracy Now film linked above. It is a sad sad business, but it needs hearing.
