'N-word' tagging stuns Ozcat radio - Vallejo Times Herald
The founder of Vallejo Ozcat, the community-based FM radio station, made a disturbing discovery Saturday morning -- racist epithets scrawled on his son's vehicle and the business' mailbox and doorway.

The graffiti involved liberal use of the "N" word, and included "N---- radio station" written on a Suburban and "No N----" across the mailbox slot in the 1100 block of Georgia Street. A sign written on the back of a flier and stuck near the door contained another epithet.

The tagging occurred between 3 and 7 a.m. Saturday, said David Martin, who is African-American.

"This saddens my heart. We are not a black or white radio station, but a community radio station," Martin said. "I'm shocked."

An Ozcat radio board member said an emergency board meeting would take place today to discuss the incident and what should be done. The station will not be intimidated, said the board member, who gave only her DJ name -- Golden Lady. Source: Times-Herald
