If you are looking to join a church, you might want to think twice before you show up at one in Los Angeles.
The strangers with shaved heads weren't skinheads - they were leather necks.Did it not occur to them to just ask the guys?Parishioners at a Catholic Church in the Los Angeles area were a little nervous when three tough-looking guys showed up during services the past two Sundays. Sheriff's deputies were called to the church after the men visited the second time.
But San Bernardino County sheriff's Sergeant Frank Gonzales says there was nothing to worry about.
The three men are Marines who had just returned from Iraq. He says the men were very polite and explained they were just looking for a friend.
Your report is the first I saw of this incident. Can you imagine the media coverage if the prejudice were instead based on something other than a muscular build and short hair?
