All-White Jury Acquits Teens in Murder of Mexican Immigrant
The Justice Department is investigating whether to prosecute two white Pennsylvania teenagers on civil rights statutes for their role in the fatal beating of Luis Ramirez, a Mexican immigrant in the town of Shenandoah. On Friday, an all-white jury exonerated the two teenagers of the most serious charges in connection with the fatal beating. The Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund condemned the jury’s finding. Witnesses said six teenagers brutally beat Luis Ramirez last year while yelling racial slurs. When a friend of Ramirez tried to stop the beating, one of the teenagers said, “Tell your Mexican friends to get out of town, or you’ll be laying next to him.”
we steal half their country, blame them for our economy, ruin their economy with nafta, fund their military against the zapatistas, and generally scapegoat them at every turn. now we get to bitch about them further because of the swine flu. a former classmate of mine even said "i wish the flu would have stayed in mexico before it could hurt people." i guess mexicans aren't people. perhaps their skin is a little too dark, and their food a little too spicy.
as far as this verdict goes, it speaks for itself. obama may be the pres, but we are still living in a white house.
