Confederate (Republican) “Lynching” Murderers — Brandon Piekarsky (left) & Derrick Donchak

POTTSVILLE, Pennsylvania – Last week Friday, an ALL-WHITE jury acquitted two Pennsylvania teenagers of ALL serious charges against them stemming from the fatal beating of an “illegal” Mexican immigrant last summer.

Jurors acquitted 17-year-old Brandon Piekarsky of third-degree murder and ethnic intimidation. The jury cleared 19-year-old Derrick Donchak of aggravated assault and ethnic intimidation. Both were convicted of simple assault.

   Does This Look Like Simple Assault?

Prosecutors cast Ramirez as the victim of a gang of drunken white teens motivated by their dislike of their small coal town’s burgeoning Hispanic population. Defense attorneys called Ramirez the aggressor and bitterly accused the district attorney’s office of twisting the facts out of a desperate need to cast blame. [ READ MORE ]

A month before the killing of Ramirez, two incidents in Long Island and Brooklyn, New York, BARBARIC WHITE REPUBLICAN HOODLUMS attacked and LYNCHED Hispanic immigrants.

Latino immigrants are prime targets for White Racists emboldened by the now four year old Republican campaign of HATE and XENOPHOBIA.

Immigrants have become MUTE PREY for criminals — due to the constant harping of fat-mouth bigots like Lou Dobbs of CNN, and the diseased Neo-NAZI criminals at Fox News and right-wing Talk-Radio — like the despicable one-legged baboon — Michael Savage — who work tirelessly to pour fuel into the hateful minds of the most intolerant imbeciles in America. Their contention — is that an “illegal alien” is the POISON responsible for all that is evil in America, and that immigrants are responsible for the current economic mess and more recently — the SWINE VIRUS.

Swine FLU: The Republican HATE Machine Incites Racism

To the hate-mongers on radio and TV, and their listeners, being an undocumented immigrant is a “stain that can never be erased,” with no path to atonement. To them (Republicans), immigrants are INHUMAN and HAVE NO RIGHTS! They are VERMIN that MUST BE CRUSHED!

This is unacceptable — and Obama better do something about it. Confiscate the confederate guns, legislate more stringent hate-crime laws, and last but most powerful — pass a comprehensive immigration bill, allowing millions to flock to the Democratic Party, pushing the criminal Republican party further into the fringes of the south. They can then all be herded into Texas and allowed to secede if they want to. Treasonous Governor Rick Perry, would welcome them with open arms!

Notes: Some satisfied, others outraged with verdict for immigrant’s death

CNN: Friends and relatives of two teens accused in the beating death of a Mexican immigrant struggled to contain their relief as not-guilty verdicts were announced on the most serious charges against the former high school football stars Friday.

Gasps filled the courtroom and some had to be restrained by sheriff’s deputies as they tried to rush the defense table after Derrick Donchak, 19, and Brandon Piekarsky, 17, were acquitted of aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and ethnic intimidation for the death of Luis Ramirez.

Piekarsky was also found not guilty of third-degree murder for the death of Ramirez, who died of blunt force injuries after an encounter with the teens last summer. Read full article

thinkprogress.org — Report: White vigilante groups blockaded small towns in post-Katrina New Orleans and murdered blacks.
——————————————————————–

Earlier this week, A.C. Thompson of The Nation revealed that after Hurricane Katrina, white vigilante groups patrolled New Orleans, blockaded streets, and shot at least eleven black men. It “was like pheasant season in South Dakota. If it moved, you shot it,” said one vigilante. Color of Change is organizing a campaign to tell Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) and state officials to investigate the shootings, as “Louisiana’s broken law enforcement agencies have refused to investigate these crimes.” Watch Thompson’s video on his report:

Color of Change is also sending messages to Attorney General Michael Mukasey and Attorney General nominee Eric Holder.

A 25-year-old undocumented immigrant, Luis Ramirez, from Shenandoah, Pennsylvania suffered head injuries after he was viciously beaten July 12 by a pack of at least six teenagers. Ramirez was left in convulsions and foaming at the mouth. His attackers stomped him so hard that an imprint of the Jesus medallion he wore was embedded on his chest.

Authorities now allege that the thugs who beat Luis shouted racial and ethnic epithets. They’ve charged 16-year-old Brandon J. Piekarsky and 17-year-old Colin J. Walsh as adults with homicide and 18-year-old Derrick M. Donchak with aggravated assault. All three were charged with ethnic intimidation. Another juvenile, whom police haven’t named, was charged with assault, and police are continuing to investigate……..[MORE >>]

If the election were a football game…It appears that Senator John McCain just ran the ball into his own endzone: McCain told a Pittsburgh television station that he recited the names of the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive line while under interrogation in North Vietnam.

One problem with that remarkable anecdote? Every other time McCain has told that story… He’s named the Green Bay Packers instead.

   Joe Horn
Houston, Texas — A grand jury on Monday refused to indict a 62-year-old man who fatally shot two burglars last November as they fled his neighbor’s house.

In a case that raised questions of ethnic bias, self-defense and property rights, the jury rejected charges against the man, Joe Horn, who is white. Both victims were illegal immigrants from Colombia.

“Joe is not some wild cowboy,” Mr. Horn’s lawyer, Charles T. Lambright, said at a news conference on Monday. “He was put in a place where he didn’t have any other choice.”

But others reacted angrily to the decision. “There is not a snowflake’s chance in hell that an African-American man could do what Joe Horn did and get away with it,” said Quanell X, a local black activist. “The message that Harris County sent to the entire world is that Houston, Tex., is God’s city. There is no longer a need for the criminal justice system, police, judge or jury. You can be all of that on your own.”

One lawyer, while endorsing the grand jury’s decision, raised questions about the process.

“I wonder if Joe Horn were black if he would be free tonight or in the Harris County Jail,” said the lawyer, Joseph Gutheinz Jr., of the National Republican Lawyers Association. “It’s a sea of white faces that doesn’t look anything like the county,” Mr. Gutheinz said……[more]
