That's what death penalty was intended for.

[dudewheresmytank]

he should go to jail,no question, but "murder based on race" is ridiculous. i can't beleive it's even a charge. if all races are equal, how come you receive more jail time for killing one than the other?

[Kitten Festival]

This thug needs to go. I don't care what his motive was, this guy and the death penalty were meant for each other. It's time for him to quiver and crap his pants.

It takes a real man to gun down a helpless teenage girl.

By the way, does anyone ever notice that the most disgusting, repulsive, despicable crimes all seem to happen in Long Beach? It's like the most degraded place in Los Angeles. It seems to be attracting animals.

When the next amnesty takes place, we're gonna have to build a lot more prisons.

"Hate crimes" shades of G. Orwell.

Anyone know if this is categorized white on black?

The press secretary for the California Republican Party is the son of illegal aliens who came the USA 35 years ago. In this article he chronicles how in recent years there has been a massive change in the number and kind of illegals coming north. Including a crimnal element that is causing a deterioration in the quality of life of Americans. Consider this article Illegal aliens murder 12 Americans daily Death toll in 2006 far overshadows total U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq, Afghanistan

People have been referring to the Captains Quarters as a rebuke to the assertions of the article. The Captain's Quarters makes the assertion that -- for the numbers to be true -- it would have to be the case that a small number of people were committing a lot of crimes. That is to say far outside the statistical norm for the USA. The problem is that he didn't actually check the federal stats. As it happens it is the case that illegals tend to be very repeat offenders.

Below are some government stats to back up the article's assertioms

From the FBI crime statistics * An estimated 16,692 persons were murdered nationwide in 2005, an increase of 3.4 percent from the 2004 figure. * Murder comprised 1.2 percent of the overall estimated number of violent crimes in 2005. (Based on Table 1.) * There were an estimated 5.6 murders per 100,000 inhabitants.

Illegal Alien Crime Wave

On April 7, 2005, the US Justice Department issued a report on criminal aliens that were incarcerated in federal and state prisons and local jails. In the population study of 55,322 illegal aliens, researchers found that they were arrested at least a total of 459,614 times, averaging about 8 arrests per illegal alien. Nearly all had more than 1 arrest. Thirty-eight percent (about 21,000) had between 2 and 5 arrests, 32 percent (about 18,000) had between 6 and 10 arrests, and 26 percent (about 15,000) had 11 or more arrests. Most of the arrests occurred after 1990. They were arrested for a total of about 700,000 criminal offenses, averaging about 13 offenses per illegal alien. One arrest incident may include multiple offenses, a fact that explains why there are nearly one and half times more offenses than arrests. Almost all of these illegal aliens were arrested for more than 1 offense. Slightly more than half of the 55,322 illegal aliens had between 2 and 10 offenses.

CRIMINAL HISTORY

More than two-thirds of the defendants charged with an immigration offense were identified as having been previously arrested. Thirty-six percent had been arrested on at least 5 prior occasions; 22%, 2 to 4 times; and 12%,1 time. Sixty-one percent of those defendants had been convicted at least once; 18%, 5 or more times; 26%, 2 to 4 times; and 17%, 1 time. Of those charged, 49% had previously been convicted of a felony: 20% of a drug offense; 18%, a violent offense; and 11%, other felony offenses. Twelve percent had previously been convicted of a misdemeanor. Defendants charged with unlawful reentry had the most extensive criminal histories. Nine in ten had been previously arrested. Of those with a prior arrest, half had been arrested on at least 5 prior occasions. Fifty-six percent of those charged with a reentry offense had previously been convicted of a violent or drug-related felony. By contrast, under half of those charged with alien smuggling, a third of those charged with unlawful entry, and just over a quarter those charged with misuse of visas and other charges had previously been arrested. The criminal histories of these defendants were generally less extensive: more than 70% had been previously arrested fewer than 5 times.

There was another Latino gang that was randomly shooting Blacks in the Eagle Rock area of Los Angeles. The guys who were caught apparently admitted they were trying to drive Blacks out of "their" territory.

Maybe this LB incident is similar.

The killing of the teen -- an eighth-grader at Stephen M. White Middle School -- was believed to be the latest evidence of escalating warfare between black and Hispanic gangs in the area. Police said Cheryl, however, was not involved with gangs and was shot because she was black.

This killer should get the death penalty. Period. The whole concept of "hate crime" is absurd. It only breeds more hatred.

[RavenATB]

But wait! Liberals have always told us that minorities cannot be guilty of hate crimes because of their minority status, and that only whites can be guilty of hate crimes.

So where is the outrage and commendation of this prosecution from the 'black community' leaders who've always sang this song...?
