The Hassidim were annoyed at the Mexicans because an illegal, driving without a license, had run over a Hassidic mother and baby in a crosswalk, killing both. (insert Howie Carr "La Cucaracha" music here) They were quickly exonerated, though cautioned against such vigilante justice tricks.
The boyfriend was Italian, ended up getting killed by her father when he went to Daddy's store to explain things. Daddy, carrying an unlicensed gun, got a trip to the pokey, but I forget what ultimately happened there.
In the end, however, it turned out that the brother killed her in one of those whack-o Muslim "honor killings" because not only did she not want to marry the Pakistani flown in for her (and subsequently smuggled back out in a freighter), she was actually PREGNANT from her non-Muslim boyfriend.
leave it to Lenny to add levity to a grim situation with his humerous statements..
You HAD to bring up Lenny, didn't ya.
Now I'm getting all weepy.....
You're right about the illegal - yes they were exonerated, but I thought that the interrogator pretending to whack his hand was a nice touch (sarcasm) and do you really think making them Hasidim was random?
Yes, I recognize L & O has red herrings but recently they've tended toward the politically correct. I made the mistake of watching one clear through on abortion politics/political correctness and when they trend this way, I just turn it off.
They put the Hasidim in there, in my humble opinion, to show there's not much difference between what those nasty Jews (sarcasm) are inclined to do and what the Muslims do.
