An Indian woman who is leading a recall campaign at her housing subdivision in Menifee, California, has been targeted by graffiti that is being treated as a hate crime.
Jayme Halliday is the second victim of the racially charged graffiti. The other target is an African-American woman who is also leading the recall.
"To me, I'm taking it as a death threat, that they want my head on a platter," Halliday told The Riverside Press-Enterprise.
The graffiti included Halliday's name, along with the words "racist," "Native American," "native" and "sucks."
