marched Tuesday night In Fresno's Tower District in what
organizers called a peaceful demonstration against recent
hate crimes In the area.

streets, the site of an attack on 26-year-old Paul WeJbezahn.
a Fresno man who said he was called a "faggot" and beat
unconscious by skinheads Aug. 16.
TMe recent Incidents In the Tower District caused area
residents to band together to spread the message that they are
not going to stand for further violence.
There were several speakers at the event. Including Fresno
City Council Member Craig Scharton, who urged hate-crime
victims to report attacks. /
"We do not tolerate violence toward any group or any'
individual.'said Scharton.

advisor for the Gay. Lesbian and Bisexual Student Alliance,

said.
Police patrolled the area as the procession moved down Van
Ness Avenue amid honking car horns and residents waving
candles from their front lawns.
Diirtogthe45-minutewalk, marchers periodically chanted
"What do wewant? Gay rights! When do we want them? Now!"
