...commando operations began with the 2005 bombing of a state agricultural building. CRAV members, or independent sympathizers, have since repeatedly carried out bombings and other acts of vandalism, including three acts of property destruction in a 10-day span in May.

There were taunts (''Nigger! Get off the porch!''), broken windows, fireworks assaults, ugly spray-painted graffiti (KKK) on the side of the house.
