Face of Racism

Bricks on the Loose  (Photo by Thegreenj)

A 91-year-old permanent resident of the United States, originally from Mexico, was taking his customary evening walk when he accidentally bumped into a little girl.

Her alleged mother brutally attacked him with a brick, while yelling “Go back to your country!”  A neighborhood gang then joined the fray, kicking the man and stomping on his head.

A woman who was driving by caught this all on camera.  The man suffered broken ribs, a broken jaw and broken cheekbones.  The media flashed images of this bruised and bloody face of racism.
