Eight anti-racism protesters dressed in black and wearing
balaclavas were part of an angry mob that trashed the house of a
well-known white supremacist, a metro police detective testified
yesterday.
They hurled rocks and paint bombs at Gary Schipper's east-end
house while coaxed on by a crowd of 250 chanting, "Smash the
Heritage Front," Det-Const. Dave Bishop said.
He was testifying at the trial of Katrin Clouse, 21,
Ainsworth Weir, 22, Elena Lonero, 25, Peter Ricards, 24, and
Ajith Aluthwatta.
They all face charges of mischief over $1,000 in the June 11,
1993 incident.
Ricards is also charged with possession of a probibited
weapon.
Windows were smashed and a door broken at Schipper's
bertmount Ave. residence during a rally by the Anti-Racist Action
group.
Bishop testified he saw Weir and Ricards pull balaclavas over
their faces before tossing rocks at the house.
Clouse was "egging on" the mob with a megaphone.
Bishop said Clouse and Lonero appeared to be among the
ringleaders.
