Wondering what is wrong with American society today? It’s not the undocumented from Mexico as some would have you believe. It is our priorities as a society. This isn’t the America I was born and raised in.

Long Island Wins is reporting:

When Luis Ramirez was killed by a group of high school athletes in Shenandoah, Pa. a year and a half ago, members of the village decided the best way to mark the tragedy was with an anti-immigrant rally. The message: “If Latinos were deported, they wouldn’t be killed”.

When two young men involved in the killing were acquitted of all serious charges, some Shenandoahans felt called upon to organize a victory celebration, with a well-known white power and anti-semitic leader as the keynote speaker. A man who was best friends with the elderly gentleman who shot and killed a guard at the Holocaust Museum.

So it should come as no surprise that now that four local cops have been charged by the Feds with corruption and covering up the Ramirez killing, the community in Shenandoah is organizing bake sales and selling wristbands in support of their heroes.

The cops were charged with conspiracy in the coverup of the murder of Ramirez and coaching the defendents to “get their stories straight”, amongst other crimes.

All have resigned and are under federal indictment, as are the killers who received a slap on the wrist sentence for “simple assault”. And these are who we make into heroes?

As many may remember, Kuis Ramirez was kicked in the head by these two and died of his injuries. At trial, the assailants were convicted of simple assault.

We pick up the story from Immigration Talk with a Mexican American:
