Mexican Immigrants Targeted in Georgia
This sucks.
Authorities have linked a string of home invasions that left five Mexican immigrants dead with an armed robbery that occurred last month after reviewing descriptions of weapons used in both crimes.
Javier Guzman and Juventino Leon were assaulted in their trailer on Sept. 13 by three men wielding chrome pistols and baseball bats, similar to the weapons used in the south Georgia slayings on Friday.

Why is this not being treated as a hate crime? Are hate crimes only commited against gays and blacks? Where is Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpen to speak about social injustice or equality? Where is the 6 oclock news to report this?
Worst of all why isn't our community demanding answers on behalf of our paisanos? Wake up Chicano/a community...
