2. "A black student was held against his will and "KKK" and swastikas were drawn on him in marker . . ." -- http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/10/04/deafschool.racial.incident/index.html
3. Swastika shaped building -- http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-swastika26sep26,0,2973328.story?coll=la-home-center
4. Vandals paint racial slurs in 2 MD counties -- http://www.myfoxdc.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail;jsessionid=38FF16D184478345D02A94DA93630FDD?contentId=4515718&version=2&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=VSTY&pageId=1.1.1&sflg=1
