Pottsville, Pa. -- "An all-white jury has acquitted two teenagers of all serious charges stemming from the fatal beating of an illegal Mexican immigrant last summer."
The foregoing is an excerpt from a story found this morning on Google News. I get the majority of my morning news from Google News: I like to browse the electronic news as I drink my morning coffee whilst waiting for my waste elimination system to go on line and download. Retirement is such a delicate balance: coffee in one hand toilet paper in the other.
I have no idea why two "white" teenagers beat a Mexican Illegal to death in Pottsville. Pa: a cultural impasse I'm sure, a misunderstanding of sorts, a miscommunication because of the language barrier? I know I often get frustrated when people don't understand what I am trying to communicate and, in frustration, beat them to death. Know what I'm saying? Musulims, sometimes, have that problem in attempting to communicate their religious beliefs and in frustration often put people to death by the sword. Which is not the same as beating someone to death, but close.
Remember: May is "National Beat Someone to Death Month". Are you ready?
