Town Still Torn Over Immigrant Murder
CBS Evening News ^ | 13 Aug

Posted on 08/15/2008 1:23:52 PM PDT by flowerplough

In the town of Shenandoah, Penn., parishioners at a local church offered up prayers for peace - a peace that was broken the night of July 12, when Luis Ramirez, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was beaten to death

The crime shocked people in this small, Appalachian town, reports CBS News correspondent Seth Doane. A late night street fight punctuated by ethnic slurs ended in Ramirez's death. Four high school students, all on the football team, are charged in connection with the homicide.

(...)

the county's Hispanic population - up 65 percent since 2000 as a new wave of immigrants have come in search of jobs. Like "Cesar," who works in construction and said he knew Ramirez.

"After this happened I'm frightened to go out," he said through a translator. "You do go out, but not without watching your back."

White kids told CBS News they were scared and angry too - but from a different perspective.

"If that happened to a white person, every church in this god***n f***ing town wouldn't do a god***n thing about it," said one kid while pounding his fist to cheers from a surrounding group. "Just because they're f***ing border-jumpers and came over here."

"I can't say it without sounding racist," said another teenager. "I can't say, you know, the Mexicans came here and now there's problems."

"But is that how you feel?" asked Doane.

"Yeah … Obviously I've been here my whole life and I've never had a problem. Now there's problems," he responded.

That is it in a nutshell ...

Hey, Cesar! Go ahead! Complain about racism, religion, Americans (citizens). Go ahead and fight back. See what you get. Go the F HOME!

I can solve this problem in less than 30 seconds.

All persons in this area illegally should return to their country of origin immediately.

That is all.

CBS has its panties in a bunch over the murder of an illegal immigrant by some Americans. But does it demonstrate the same concern for the more common situation of Americans murdered by illegals?

Try Hazelton. Pennsylvania, or San Francisco, California, among others.

CBS is still a shill for the open-borders Democrats, La Raza Unida (which means the unified race), and the ACLU.

Third time’s the charm.

I predict similar results for this thread.

Hey SeeBS, have you looked into the crime statistics perpetrated by these new arrivals since 2000? We might pick up a congressional seat now that Lou Barletta is running in this area.

“Who has no life that they’d waste that watching CBS news??”

I saw this piece and waited for them to mention the thousands of US citizens who have been murdered by illegal aliens. I’ve challenged on this forum for years to show me one alien killed by US citizens, well they finally found ONE.

Unfortunately, I watch CBS news....I get only one channel! But you know, it’s worth it to see what the enemy is feeding the sheeple and I know what businesses to boycott (their sponsors). And until we deal with the media in their pocketsbooks, nothing will change.

Yeah, their hard sell isn’t selling—but it would seem more interesting to watch some grass grow somewhere

Oh, it is, it is! CBS really stinks. I shut down the satellite so I could finish writing my book, and now I don't know if I want it back or not.

Let’s see how far this thread goes before the mod has to shut it down as the other threads on this incident have been shut down. Disgusting to see FReepers justify murder on the other threads.

If he'd stayed in Mexico instead of entering and living in the US ILLEGALLY, he would have been alive today.

And if the Illegal who shot and killed a father and his two sons in San Franciso had stayed in Mexico, those three would have been alive today.
