Hate-crime verdicts affirmed
A unanimous three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit today affirmed the federal hate-crime convictions of two Schuylkill County men in the 2008 beating death of an illegal Mexican immigrant.
The Third Circuit panel in Philadelphia affirmed both convictions and sentences for Derrick Donchak and Brandon Piekarsky for violating the civil rights of Luis Ramirez, 25, after a booze-fueled confrontation with a group of white high-school football players in the former mining town of Shenandoah.
Donchak, then 20, and Piekarsky, then 18, were found guilty of the federal charges by a federal jury sitting in Scranton in October 2010. Each was sentenced to nine years in prison followed by three years of supervised release.
The federal civil rights charges followed the pair’s acquittal by a Schuylkill County jury of state charges, including third-degree murder, involving Ramirez’s death.
Federal prosecutors alleged that Donchak and Piekarsky beat and kicked Ramirez because they didn't like Hispanics and wanted them out of their town.
Federal prosecutors subsequently obtained convictions against the former Shenandoah police chief and one of two officers on charges of trying to shield the teens for being held responsible for the attack against Ramirez.

- Its no secret that there are dozens of hate crimes in Philly committed by AA's but none of them are officially classified as such. How about all those so-called flash mobs, the beatings of Asians at South Philly High, the murder of Sean Conroy in the subway, the murder of Sabina O'Donnell in NoLibs?— UncleJoe
- Well, the P.O.S. murderers of Conroy and O'Donnell are already in prison (if memory serves me correctly), but you can gather a bunch angry whites to petition the D.A. for hate crime charges for any flash mobs that are captured. Or, you know, you can just keep whining on the internet. — wb2nd
- It would take a lot of whining to catch up with the whining of the AA's. — UncleJoe
- Well, in that case, you'd better hop to it, don't you think? — wb2nd
- Interacial violent crime is 80-85% black on white. That is a fact or as in southern high school, black on asian.— Christo1CG
- Uh-huh. And your writing this on an anonymous comment board does...what, exactly? I mean, it's as if it's going to make all of those dangerous, white-hating blacks disappear, now is it? — wb2nd
- So how come they don't refer to this guy as an "undocumented immigrant"?— TyroneShoes

- Yaaaawwwwwwn. Whatever, dude. And you will never, ever, not in a million years, not even in your wildest dreams be able to escape black people or go back to the days of slavery or Jim Crow. FACT...FACT...FACT!!!!! LOL! — wb2nd

- Yeah, just like the best we can expect from you and your little girlfriend paula is a link to an obviously right-wing news site. The Michelle Malkin ad is a dead giveaway, along with the slanted storyline. — lalaw9833
- Your innuendo laced insult ("slanted") against Michelle Malkin is pathetic. I have news for you, FBI crime stats are not "right wing news" or "slanted storyline". Fact is you and other left wing tools serve the larger agenda by denying facts that stare you in the face. Then again you are probably an Obamatron trolling on the taxpayer's dime. Maybe you're an ACORNhole? Whatever the case is, the last name you should use would be anything with "LAW" in it. — Paul Revered

- Fact: Whites commit the overall majority of crime in the U.S. Check the DOJ website for stats, methhead! — lalaw9833

Where does he get the proof that minorities commit a majority of the hate crimes? These are both big claims- I'd like to see some evidence. Without anything cited, ck395 is right to laugh.— Blanketman

- According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, whites commit more Hate Crimes in the United States than any other racial group. You jokers come with your keystone Skinheads propaganda when the real facts are out there. — lalaw9833
