There are a few other stories that have come out about this, but the details are not what they should be, and no justice has been served in this case as of yet. It is my understanding that there were multiple attacks - multiple acts of intimidation by neighbors (of mixed race) ...some of the attackers started saying that the family was white supremacists, which is not true (and irrelevant as a justification for such violence anyway) - they are of mixed ethnic heritage themselves - in order to further marginalize them. This is in Canada. ========= "For weeks, Shauna Cook, 37, says she's been targeted in her Halifax home because she is a hedge-witch natural healer. Now, two of her pagan friends have been attacked, with one stabbed in the back and another struck in the head with a rock. Shortly after midnight on Saturday, an 18-year-old woman and a 17-year-old boy were leaving Cook's house to catch the bus when they were approached by four male teenagers, who asked the pair where they were going. After saying they were going home, the boy was attacked. Two more people jumped into the fight, making it six attackers in all. The young woman ran back to Cook's house and tried to phone police. While on the phone, one of the attackers threw a rock through a window and hit her in the forehead. Meanwhile, the 17-year old boy was being beaten and stabbed in the back before he made it back to the house himself. The attackers then fled. The attack came weeks after Cook's family was swarmed by bat-wielding assailants. Cook says she has no doubt her friends were attacked partly because she is a hedge-witch. She explains her religion as a more traditional form of wicca." Witch fleeing Halifax after friends attacked, family swarmed |
