Interview of Arielle Garcia - Witness to the beating death of Mexican immigrant
Luis Ramirez by 6 Whites

The following is a telephone interview of one of the primary witnesses to the horrific beating death of 25 year old Mexican immigrant Luis Ramirez in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania by 6 White juveniles on July 12, 2008. The interview of 17 year old Arielle Garcia is conducted by Amy Goodman of DemocracyNow!

To this date, 12 days later, no charges have been filed. La Voz de Aztlan has a full report on the shocking hate murder at http://www.aztlan.net/shenandoah_anti-mexican_hate_crime.html

This is just one of many anti-Mexican hate crimes that are occurring throughout the USA as a consequence of the vicious anti-immigrant propaganda by individuals such as Lou Dobbs and Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, as well as the actions of organizations such as the Minutemen vigilantes, Save our State and the KKK.
