Brothers urinated on, beat Hispanic homeless man; one said ‘Trump was
Maddie Meyer/Getty Images The alleged attack took place after a Red Sox game Tuesday.
According to police, when investigators asked the brothers what motivated the seemingly senseless and horrific crime, Scott Leader replied, “Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported”.
Robert O. Trestan, the New England regional director of the Anti-Defamation League, said Thursday that inflammatory words on the campaign trail and elsewhere can create fear.
“Our thoughts, of course, first go out to the victim, but hate crimes have a devastating impact beyond just the person targeted”. Both Leader brothers have long criminal histories, according to prosecutors.
Donald Trump isn’t explicitly saying it’s okay to beat people up because of how they look, but at least two men have interpreted it that way. “But I have gained such respect for the people that like me and respect me and that like my views, it’s incredible.” “They are passionate. I will say that, and everybody here has reported it”.
Would-be president Donald Trump has previously called Latinos rapists and criminals. But not before urinating all over them and then beating them senseless. They are expected back in court on Sept. 3. They then punched him and beat him with a metal pole, police added. He was rushed to Boston Medical Center.
“These allegations are sickening”, Conley said.
“Next thing … he was getting hit in the face and head”, said the State Police report on the incident, according to the Globe.
The Leaders pleaded not guilty to charges that included assault with a dangerous weapon, indecent exposure and making threats. Steve Leader was additionally charged with malicious destruction of property over $250.
Officials said they are providing the 58-year-old man with consular protection and legal assistance. And recall that during the press conference at which he announced his presidency, he said that Mexican immigrants are “bringing drugs”.
Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh said the brothers “should be ashamed of themselves”.
Scott Leader, despite being read his Miranda rights, was not in the mood to remain silent, reports indicate. Leader was convicted of a hate crime and imprisoned for a year in connection with the attack.
