No murder conviction in Mexican immigrant's beating death
This is so deeply upsetting and horrifying. It's Vincent Chin all over again, but 20+ years later. Same story: man of color murdered by white men and acquitted of serious charges by a white jury. It's another modern day lynching. Unlike Vincent Chin's case, I just hope that appeals are successful in this case, including civil rights protections for this hate crime. The jurors in PA should be ashamed of themselves.
I send my condolences out to his family and his girlfriend (who apparently had to witness the beating). Maybe this horrifying incident will motivate people to unite to improve our discriminatory judicial and law enforcement systems. I will hope for justice in this case.
