The Terrorist of Oz (Baum's Oz, not Australia)

it's actually somewhat sad if michael lohman's actions wouldn't constitute a hate crime considering i've heard on the news a week ago or so that some dude was charged with a hate crime for harrassing and taunting midgets by yelling to them " hi ho hi ho and off to work we go" and painting the pavement yellow and telling them to follow the yellow brick road.

so basically, it's nice to know that crimes against asians are somewhere below crimes against midgets in terms of severity in the grand scheme of things.

Found the midget article (Sorry about being off topic)

April 19, 2005 -- He should have picked on someone his own size.
The midget mother and daughter who were allegedly terrorized by their neighbor stood tall yesterday as they faced the grand jury to testify against him.

Neither 3-foot-8 Debra Shea nor her 3-foot-6 daughter, Concelean Pegues, would comment on their testimony as they left Brooklyn Supreme Court, saying prosecutors asked them not to talk while the case is still pending.

The two were testifying against their longtime neighbor, Joseph Izzo, who was busted last week for spray-painting a yellow line leading up to their house and telling them to "follow the yellow brick road."

Izzo, 40, who is facing hate-crime charges, is also accused of hurling racial slurs at Pegues and cruelly singing, "Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go."

Izzo was not in court yesterday, and his lawyer, his brother Richard, declined to comment.

A man who said he was Izzo's friend said that over the past few weeks, Izzo and Shea would get into drunken fights and the two would often call the authorities on each other.

He should've been singing, "ding dong, the witch is dead, wicked witch, the witch is dead". Would've been more accurate, not that it was right to begin with.
