In Pennsylvania a Mexican man was killed by a caucasian man. The Mexican man was married with three children. Needless to say, this man's death is a tragedy, it is unjust; but most of all this man's death is a prime example of the racism that exists specifically around the issue of immigration.
How has the mainstream media portrayed this death, this murder? Well, they dare fight to argue, even to insist or prove, that this was blatantly a hate crime. The caucasian man's lawyer argues that what happened was a "fight"... but does a simple fight turn in to something that would go so far as to kill someone, to take their life? Even before the man was killed, his murderer harassed him with racially-charged words and insults... Now there are even blogs on the internet saying that this "ocurrence" was good--that it's helping the anti-immigrant cause.
How disgusting is that. Have many of the people of this world really become so heartless, so one-sided and unaware?? Anyone that would praise the murder of someone else, not to even mention the racially-charged murder of someone of a different culture, needs to evaluate what peace, co-existing, and LOVE really means.
