Now I am not sure which answer to choose, since the one that is closest to what I used is "NFG".
Gina W (asker) Sep 16, 2005:
I think attack is appropriate here since these are attacks against this certain group of immigrants. Also it is more vague than assaults, while still maintaining the meaning intended here. But assaults is not wrong, though.
sarahl (X) Sep 16, 2005:
I may be wrong but to me, attack would be un attentat, when agression is physical, basically a bunch of idiots beating up some poor guy.
Gina W (asker) Sep 15, 2005:
Thanks, J S. Yes, I will use 'attacks'.
Gina W (asker) Sep 15, 2005:
thanks

I have news for you, crimes will go unpunished on occasion. The court's ruling is not what makes a crime a crime.
