Town struggles with fallout from immigrant's fatal beating

SHENANDOAH, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- By the time help arrived, Luis Ramirez lay convulsing in the middle of the street, foam running from his mouth.

Crystal Dillman displays the religious medal worn by her fiance, Luis Ramirez, who died from a beating.

1 of 3 Blows had struck the 25-year-old Mexican immigrant with such force that they left a clotted, bruised impression of Jesus Christ on the skin of his chest from the religious medal he wore.

His attackers were white teenagers, including star students and football players, witnesses told police.

After a night of drinking, the teens taunted the undocumented worker with racial epithets, pummeled him to the ground and then kicked him in the head, court documents charge. He died in a hospital two days later.

Illegals commit massive numbers of violent crimes and no one in the media gives a hoot. Let ONE illegal fall victm to violence, and it's time to be good liberals and crucify America.

You can say that again.

And when it happens, they’re usually described (if at all) as “undocumented workers” or something of the sort. But not “illegal.”

This one’s easy: Send the victim’s body back to his home country and execute the thugs who killed him.

See? easy.

You should have your sight and hearing checked.

EVERY DAY I see and hear all kinds of outcry against violence perpetrated by illegal aliens. And justifiably so.

But even if said outcry didn’t occur, it does not justify U.S. citizens committing murder. This guy was NOT murdering or raping anyone.

Agreed. I don't really care about these thugs' motivations. They committed a brutal crime and should all either get the death penalty, or spend the rest of their miserable lives in jail.

Murder is murder, regardless of the victims or perps. Whatever issues we have with illegal immigration in this country, no one has the right to do this to another human being.

Logic would suggest if he was not illegally staying in the United States and was legally in his native Mexico he would be alive today.

It took almost two weeks for arrests to be made. But on July 25, Colin J. Walsh, 17, and Brandon J. Piekarsky, 16, were charged as adults with homicide...

Good by, you Murdering Thugs!

I will Cheer the Day when you are Strapped Down to a gurney, a needle jabbed into to your arms and You two are Executed.

You boys are POS Scum Killers.

BTW, this was a town that tried to make it illegal to rent to illegals. That was struck down so this town was already simmering.

America should not be crucified, but those teens who did this should be.

No amount of crimes done by other illegals justifies what they did to him.

“They committed a brutal crime and should all either get the death penalty, or spend the rest of their miserable lives in jail.”

Exactly. I agree with your whole post. I do wish however, that there would be more public outrage over illegals committing violent assaults and murders than just what we see on conservative forums. There is a disproportionate response in the MSM when the victim is an illegal and the perps are American.

Absolutely -- and a little balance is called for. How about some news stories when it happens the other way around?

Oh, wait, that might upset the Aztlan clowns.

It's Jesse Dirkishing syndrome applied to illegal immigration.

They should just keep re-enacting it until the Commie courts get tired of dealing with it.

Totally Irrelevant.

Some of my sister-in-law’s in-laws live in that town. I’ve actually been there once or twice.
