A Tennessee man was sentenced today to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the racially motivated killing of a public employee. Dale Mardis, 57, brutally killed Shelby County, Tenn., code enforcement officer Mickey Wright in April 2001 and recently confessed to an unsolved murder of a Baltimore doctor three years earlier.
Gary Thomas Kelley received 27.5 years in prison today for shooting his neighbor. The Phoenix man confronted Juan Varela, repeating a racial slur and telling him to “go back to Mexico” or he would die, before shooting Varela in the neck. Varela was a third-generation U.S. citizen. The week of the shooting had been marked by protests over Arizona’s controversial SB 1070 immigration law.
Police in Oswego, Ill., have charged a local man with a hate crime for beating a man over his sexual orientation. The victim was allegedly beaten by four men, including the charged suspect, while the group used slurs during the assault.

Otherwise, you too, could be the next Gary Thomas Kelley.
