On July 12, Luis Ramirez, a 25 year old undocumented immigrant was assaulted by four teens at 11:15pm. The teens, three of them football players at Shenandoah Valley High School had been drinking most of the night when they spotted Ramirez. According to eyewitness reports the teens began mouthing off racial/ethnic slurs at Ramirez and then proceeded to beat him. After bringing him to the ground, a kick to the head put him into a coma from which he would never awaken. On July 14, Luis Ramirez, a laborer who only wanted to provide for his wife and two children, died from his injuries.
The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, or MALDEF, and the Puerto Rican Legal Defense Fund called for federal monitoring of the investigation and prosecution as it is suspected that a wider pattern of ethnic intimidation may exist in the Shenandoah area. The FBI and the Department of Justice are now investigating further into the incident.

THANK YOU to all the politicians and news pundits for fueling and fanning the flames of anti-Mexican racism in this country.
Another pint of innocent blood to add to your collection.
And another drop of blood drained from the face of Lady Liberty.
"The jurors here [are] sending the message that you can brutally beat a person, without regard to their life, and get away with it, continue with your life uninterrupted"
I left California because it has been wrecked by Mexicans. I'm moving to Pennsylvania where my family came from. Mexicans should stay out of Pennsylvania, they have absolutely no business there and they are definitely not wanted. Pennsylvania belongs to the white man!
