Newsday hate-crime coverage protested

About a dozen people picketed Saturday morning outside the Newsday building in Melville, saying the newspaper has used the alleged hate-crime killing of an Ecuadorean immigrant in Patchogue to advance what they ...

[Unreal]

Any murder against any individual, of any race, is horrible and wrong.

But Newsday tends to sensastionilze "certain" crimes over others. This is most likely to sell more papers and spew their liberal agenda.

[Agreed]

Newsday is a liberal leaning media outlet that most definitely favors immigrant rights over those of legal tax payers

[FED UP]

I agee with both GI-CUP and Unreal. Newsday is not worth buying nor reading. Too bad for Long Island.

[totally agree]

newsday stinks ! waste of trees if you ask me.

[Proud American]

It is a good question why you don't cover crimes committed by latinos on others. My brother's a cop and when he had to clean out his locker so work could be done he left at my mothers house some clothes and other things and at least a dozen knives of assorted sizes one a machette. I asked him where they came from and he said " I took them off Illegals, they all carry knives". I've heard too many stories fo robberies and slashings to beleive one word that newsday ond the mr ramirez say about the illegals being good people trying to help their families. I'm trying to help mine too and I'm a tax paying citizen.

At least these protestors have the BALLS to go out there; Newsrag has always been left-wing trash.

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Native Americans, etc.

.....And then there are just - Americans.

They have the United Negro College Fund.

They have Hispanic History Month.

They have Martin Luther King Day.

They have Asian History Month.

They have Black History Month.

They have Cesar Chavez Day.

They have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.

They have Yom Hashoah.

They have Kawanza.

They have the NAACP.

And BET..... If we had WET (White Entertainment Television)

.....We'd be racists.

If we had a White Pride Day

.....We'd be racists.

If we had the White History Month

.....We'd be racists.

If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives

.....We'd be racists.

We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.

Wonder who pays for that?

If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships

.....You know we'd be racists.

There are over 60 openly-proclaimed Black-only Colleges in the US

Yet if there were 'White-only Colleges'

.....THAT would be racist.

In the Million-Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights.

If we marched for our race and rights

.....We'd be racists.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and red, and you're not afraid to announce it.

But when we announce our white pride

.....We are racists.

Why is it that only whites can be racists?

Maybe Newsday will do some investigative reporting on why there are so many Latino Drivers with Pennsylvania License plates. Could it be that they are all from Pennsylvania? Or maybe it is very easy or most likely that there is someone at the Pennsylvania DMV that is giving out fake ID's and registrations to illegal immigrants. I've documented 47 in Patchogue alone and have seen many many more in Brooklyn. God forbid you get in an accident with one of these cars. A fictitious licensee will be ticketed and you will never see them again. Now, if the police pull one of these cars over, they will scream racial profiling.

[wondering]

So is Newsday going to do some real journalistic investigation and find out if this man was here legally or are they just going to keep spouting the same garbage as they always do? These young kids who killed him all deserve the death penalty because nothing excuses their actions. But why not talk about how illegal aliens hurt the economy? They do not pay taxes and then they take American dollars, ship them to their home country and then get spent there. Very little of the money they make goes back into our shaky economy. But don't expect Newsday to print that and let you know that. The next thing you know, Newshit, I mean Newsday will start to attack our volunteer services. Oh wait.

I applaud Newsday for being a media outlet that spreads the word and opens Long Islanders eyes to the reality of racism and hate.

The people that are protesting should protest the killing of innocent people- regardless of where they are from. The fact that they're out in the cold protesting Newsdays coverage on a murder and trying to silence them just confirms the fact that many Long Islanders have no compassion. It's disgusting. This coverage isn't about immigration. It's about a brutal murder. Newsday will continue it's coverage and doesn't give two s h i t s about what you ignorant m0r0ns think.

[Joey]

I, and many others wish we had known this was taking place...I would have been there waving my AMERICAN flag had I known!!!

[duh]

Why doesn't Newsday give the description of non-white criminals in the story ... LIBERAL BIAS

[Haley]

Brentwood Latino--- Good point. That knife that animal was carrying was made to kill. I am white, did not know Mr. Lucero, but I am devasted by that murder just blocks from where I live. There are so many idiots in every walk of life, I guess. Just know that there are many whites that completely disagree with these ignorant bigots. Justice will be served. And for all you people who don't like Newsday, don't read it!

I am from PA. Several years ago, an Allentown independent insurance agent was charged with providing insurance coverage to individuals who lived in NYC but had their cars registered in PA.

These NYC residents (Latino) wanted the lower rates PA insurance companies provided, so they set-up fake Pennsylvania addresses with the help of this insurance agent. There were fraud charges filed but I'm not certain of the outcome of the cases.

I'm sure this is going on in other PA communities as well.

[Bravo]

Wow, there really are some real Americans left. These guys are heroes. Screw Newsday. Flush the invaders.

[wow]

That is why Newsday readership is going down the tubes people are just not reading it...

Why is it that four hate-filled wackos spewing their cr*p in front of Newsday warrants press coverage?

Because it is the other side of the immigration story, the side NEVER reported by Newsday. And where is the hate in that story?

[wow]

Everyone knows the answer to that question. Newsday will not print it...

So because your brother confiscated knives from a few Hispanics, we're all armed killers? That's a pretty ignorant statement. Funny you say that when Marcelo, like many other Hispanics, was minding his business and was the victim of a brutal murder committed by a white person who himself wielded a knife. So because we know that most serial killers and pedophiles are white, should I assume that all white people are?

If you read what Proud American wrote, he NEVER mentioned Hispanic, he wrote illegal. So you assume when someone mentions illegal they are Hispanic?? You sir, are a racist.

This is a direct result of hundreds of years of oppression and mistreatment. Don't like it? Blame your ancestors. I'll put it like this....when people don't have the ignorant and racist views that we see here, when a minority can run for President and it not face criticism, when Hispanics can walk to a friends house to watch a movie and not get stabbed to death for no reason, THAT is when we won't need all of these organizations.

When a minority can run for President and win, it actually works the opposite. There are no more excuses. Blacks who claim they do not get equal opportunity because of their color and are the persecuted people can't make this claim any more.
