An Ecuadorean immigrant viciously beaten by men who yelled anti-Hispanic and anti-gay slurs at him and his brother has died, nearly a week after the attack. Jose Sucuzhanay died late Friday at Elmurst Hospital as his mother was en route from Ecuador to see him, spokesman Francisco Moya said. Sucuzhanay, a 31-year-old real estate broker, had been listed in critical condition since the assault early Dec. 7.
Police were searching for three suspects in the attack. The New York Police Department's hate crime task force is investigating what prosecutors have called an appalling eruption of bigotry.

Repped for staying on topic instead of undermining this man's murder by switching topics to murders by illegals, despite your stance on the issue..

Someone's about to do that, though.

Reading between the lines: Jose sounded like he was here legally. Such being the case: his attackers especially need to be punished accordingly.

From the news stories, it really sounds that he was killed as part of an anti-homosexual attack than for being an immigrant, or at least it was a homosexual hate crime as much as anything. At least it would be best if the pro-illegals didn't try to exploit this poor man's death for their own agenda, unless it is proven he was killed strictly for being an immigrant.

What???? I guess the anti-hispanic slurs the men shouted had nothing to do with the attack.

So, what gave you the impression that this crime was more of a homosexual hate crime than an anti-hispanic hate crime? Nothing in the stories i have read even point to that conclusion.

Sucuzhanay and his brother Romel, 38, were walking arm-in-arm after a night out when a sport utility vehicle pulled up near them at a Brooklyn stoplight, police said.

Witnesses said they heard the men in the car shouting anti-gay and anti-Hispanic slurs at the brothers. The attackers jumped out of the car and smashed a beer bottle over Jose Sucuzhanay's head, hit him in the head with an aluminum baseball bat and kicked him, police said. Romel Sucuzhanay was able to get away; the attackers drove off after he returned and said he had called police, authorities said.

It sounded like like the News Reporters tried to add some rage to this story, But either way, legal citizens or not, it doesn't matter who they are, what they are, or where they're from, this is disgusting. I'm totally against any kind of hate crimes.
The attackers should be charged accordingly, without exception.
