...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. In mid-July, CRAV logos were discovered spray-painted at a Narbonne agriculture collective whose vandalized vats had drained nearly 132,000 gallons of wine to the ground - an estimated loss of around $450,000.

There were taunts (''Nigger! Get off the porch!''), broken windows, fireworks assaults, ugly spray-painted graffiti (KKK) on the side of the house. Someone installed a ceramic black jockey on the lawn. One night last week a gang of young whites began launching bottle rockets toward the Armstrong house, but suddenly the fun went out of it.
