These bastards need to be convicted and to do 30 years – or more. There is no excuse for what they did. I remember well civil rights era with its fight for equality in the United States of America. This country has REGRESSED iin many ways. Absolutely inexcusable.

Although this thought has been expressed before, we must ask ourselves(look deep into our hearts)were does the hate come from? If we are honest,we must realize that it comes from us! Every time we allowed a racial slur to go unchallenged or laugh at some hateful joke,(especially in front of children) we pour fuel on the fire of hate. To borrow a phrase from our consertive friends, the only answer is zero tolerance. This must be enforced every minute of everyday. It is up to us to stop hatred from taking hold.
