twitterRacist rhetoric placed on beltway billboards
Thursday, Jan. 23, 2003 | 9:50 a.m.
The FBI is asking the public for help in finding the person or persons who scrawled white supremacist rhetoric on billboards along the Las Vegas Beltway at Tropicana Avenue and Sunset Road.
The the racist signs covering the billboards, which were posted on Tuesday, represent the latest of several incidents involving white supremacist rhetoric in the Las Vegas Valley, officials said.
The Metro Police Gang Unit had previously reported heightened recruitment by white supremacist groups such as the National Alliance.
In October, three teenagers were arrested and charged with distributing racist fliers promoting "white power" at Cimarron-Memorial High School. They were charged with misdemeanor littering, loitering and distributing material promoting violence.
Cimarron-Memorial was the second high school in the Clark County School District's northwest region to be hit by the fliers.
