“The attacks are terrible, although I suspect that the Mexican Government, which has failed to prevent almost 30,000 murders, as well as countless assaults and kidnappings of their own citizens over the last five years, have anything to contribute.”
The idea that the US needs foreign law enforcement officials to help police its streets is strange to say the least. No doubt the thugs responsible for the beatings need to be apprehended, but what this move says most of all, is that the US hasn’t a handle, isn’t willing or not able to police itself.
Well the government of Mexico has created a basket case in its own country, with drug lords running rampant throughout is state, separatists staking out their own turf and the dead piling up. Something tells the Tundra Tabloids that these extra police are more needed at home in Mexico than in NYC. Just saying. KGS
NBC: Police are investigating another assault on a Hispanic man in Staten Island as a possible hate crime — and the Mexican government is now getting involved as well.
Five men attacked the 40-year-old Mexican man Friday night as he was walking home after a soccer game at Faber Park, cop said. The attackers allegedly pummeled him while yelling anti-Mexican epithets. The man suffered head trauma, a fractured jaw and needed ten stitches above his eye, officials said.
The group of men made off with his backpack.
This is at least the sixth violent, ethnically-charged incident that has taken place in the neighborhood since April, and community leaders are urging residents to remain alert.
