I sincerely hope that this will not become a trend in this country. Hatred is ever spilling over and the culprits are all of one so called elite group. I wonder how those who were members of the jury would feel if this happened to one of their own? They would be calling for the death penalty. [comment edited by NEZUA. I don't think that this last part (now deleted) is necessary, and it will only derail conversation here. Please don't pick a marginalized/hated group and begin to disparage it in the name of another marginalized group.]

Kim, agreed.

And greeneyes, it’s a good question. Whichever way, its a tide of ignorance (+ other things) that we’ve got to keep on battling.

The worst thing about this: I hadn’t heard word one about it. I guess this has become “banal” to so many journalists in the Southwest.

I read about this in the New York times about a week ago. At the time what I thought was “Good, a great chance for hate crime legislation to do its work.” But now…. Wow. Down to just assault? No evidence of ethnic intimidation? (maybe the police at the scene could inform the jury what actions could be considered ethnic intimidation.)

There is nothing I can really say accept there are a lot of blind people out there, as that CNN video shows. Whether it be by choice that they are blind or simply too lazy to do the work, I don’t know.
