Summary
Jose Oswaldo Sucuzhanay, an Ecuadorean immigrant was brutally killed near his home in Brooklyn on December 7th. Sucuzhanay was a 31 year old real estate agent. He was attacked by a group of men who shouted anti-Latino and anti-gay slurs as they kicked him and beat him with an aluminum baseball bat. He died after five days in a coma. NYC police are still looking for the three suspects. Many people in southern Ecuador have relatives in the U.S. and the attack caused a wave of fear. Lawmakers and Hispanic groups have denounced Sucuzhanay's death, recent killings have led to the call to pass new hate crime laws.
Opinion
I heard about this on the news. There has been many Hispanic killings that have taken place. I think it is due to the high unemployment in the U.S. Many Hispanics will work harder and for less and that causes frustration between the other races. It doesn't give them a right by all means to kill them, but i think that is what is causing this high tension. I think that during these economic times we should have a very strict limit on how many immigrants we allow into the United States.
