Tears glistened on the black and purple bruises covering 91-year-old Rodolfo Rodriguez's face as he described being attacked by a group of people while going for a walk on the Fourth of July.
"I can't walk anymore," Rodriguez said in Spanish. "I'm in so much pain."
He'll be turning 92 in September, Rodriguez said, and he's never been hurt like this before, in a life working the fields with cattle and corn.
He had traveled from Michoacan, Mexico, to visit his family in Willowbrook, California, a city in Los Angeles County, his grandson Erik Mendoza said.
He makes the trip about twice a year, and takes a walk through the neighborhood every day after lunch, Mendoza said. "Everyone in the neighborhood knows him already," he said.
Rodriguez said he was walking to a nearby park on Wednesday when he passed a woman and a little girl. Without warning, the woman assaulted him, he said, hitting him with a concrete block and enlisting a group of men to join in beating him.
"I didn't even bump into her kid," Rodriguez said. "I just passed her and she pushed me and she hit me until she was done."
Police are looking for "a female suspect and three to four male suspects" in the assault, the LA County Sheriff's Department said in a statement Monday night.

Obviously this is Trump’s fault. And the alt-right.

No surprise. When race isn’t mentioned, it’s usually not a white person.

olice are looking for "a female suspect and three to four male suspects" in the assault, the LA County Sheriff's Department said in a statement Monday night. If the suspects were white, it would have been worked into the story... So the real story is four black democrats beat the guy up and told him to go back to Mexico...

Somehow I knew that when they didn’t specify “white” attackers in any on this. Just “beaten by racists”.

"If the suspects were white, it would have been worked into the story"It would be the headline. On every news and comedy channel. And every newspaper and news magazine.
To: Mr.Unique
Ah! It is being presented as a white supremacist on Facebook.
