Dotbusters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dotbusters was a street gang in Jersey City, New Jersey that attacked and threatened South Asians in the fall of 1987. The name originated from the fact that traditional Hindus wear a bindi (red dot) on their forehead.
A Jersey City gang who called themselves the "Dotbusters" published a letter in the paper stating that they would take any means necessary to drive the Indians out of Jersey City. Numerous racial incidents from vandalism to assault followed. Later that month, the Dotbusters used bricks to bludgeon and beat Navroze Mody, a South Asian male, into a coma. No bias charges were brought against the killers.
