With videos including the act caught on a surveillance camera run by a neighbor: teen black on Mexican immigrant hate crime in the south Bronx. Especially disturbing because it's so atypical, a new phenomenon, hope it's not a growing trend but a crazy outlier. (In the old days, one would attack someone from a rival gang, that's gone, so we move on to immigrants just because they are from a certain country? There's a lot of them to go through!) One women from the hood taking her kid to school comments in the news video it's really crazy out there, people need to calm down, they need to crack down on all this as if she's been hearing too much anti-immigrant talk.
from the print:
“I’m worried that these type of attacks against immigrants are happening more and more,” Herrera said. “I’m still afraid, because police haven’t caught him yet. I’m nervous. Sometimes his grandma takes my son for a walk. What if (the attacker) recognizes him?”
He said he hasn’t experienced any violence since he moved to New York from Guerrero, Mexico, in 2009. Now he fears his only child may need therapy.
