Gardaí asked to probe film of Nigerians on Nazi site
January 4, 2009
Gardaí have been asked to investigate the circumstances in which a video of a Nigerian family living in Dublin was posted on a racist website last week. The film was uploaded to the website of Nazi group Stormfront on Tuesday tagged as a "video of Nigerians in new houses in Dublin with three cars".
Lasting 90 seconds, the footage shows one man and three women outside their home wearing traditional Nigerian dress. The camera then pans to show young black children playing on the street and the registration of the family's cars.
However, the most chilling aspect of the film is that the footage appears to be shot from the upstairs room of a neighbour's home across the street.
Rosanna Flynn of Residents Against Racism told the Sunday Tribune, "This is the first time, to my knowledge, that Irish people have secretly filmed their neighbours and then posted it on the net. It must be very frightening for the family involved to know that their every movement is being watched and that their children are being targeted too.

Have words been had with the video maker?
Remember previous "discussions" with Irish Nazis: Sheep in wolves' clothing: Nazi boneheads come a cropper in Dublin.
