Men sentenced to 9 years in immigrant's beating death

Two Pennsylvania men convicted of a hate crime in the beating death of an undocumented Mexican immigrant were each sentenced Wednesday to nine years behind bars, the U.S. District Court said.

Derrick Donchak, of Shenandoah, and Brandon Piekarsky, of Shenandoah Heights, were found guilty in October of several federal charges, including hate crimes and depriving Luis Ramirez of his civil rights.

The two were acquitted of murder charges in state court and convicted of
simple assault.

So stop being so stupid and ugly.

    The greatness of a nation is measured by the way its people treats the most vulnerable among it. Judging by that standard, and the miserable, small-minded comments posted here, this country's journey to hell in a handbasket is in full swing.
