Teens Targeted Hispanics in Long Island Hate Killing


In front of a courtroom at times crowded with family members of seven teens accused in a fatal hate crime stabbing, a Suffolk prosecutor Monday said the group was "determined" to find a victim of Hispanic descent.

"In their own words, 'Let's go find some Mexicans to -- -- up,' " said Assistant District Attorney Nancy Clifford at First District Court in
Central Islip.

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident but a national phenomenon. Anti-Latino hate crimes rose by almost 35% between 2003 and 2006. As I reported before, hate groups increased by half since the year 2000 and the number of new anti-immigrant groups increased to 300.

  1. Were the "Hispanics" who killed the college students looking for "insert ethnicity of college student"? No, that's what makes a hate crime different. I don't anything about the law suit you're speaking about and have never heard of Hispanics Across America.
