This article explains how Jeffery Conroy has been found guilty of manslaughter of an Ecuador man, Marcelo Lucero. Apparently Conroy and some of his associates have been harassing Latino men. The prosecutors in this case say that they call this type of harassing ‘beaner-hopping’ and the Mexican government would have liked to see Conroy guilty on the charge of manslaughter in the second degree.
I have read other articles in the past that have detailed hate crimes in America. A lot of time, the defendant states that ‘(insert culture here) doesn’t here in the United States’. I really don’t understand how A) people can be so malicious to each other and B) how anyone gets to decide who belongs in America and who doesn’t. These men definitely deserve harsh sentencing for their actions that killed an innocent human being.
