Trump Long Island appearance will open old wounds of hate crime

Posted by | April 9, 2016 09:45 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Opinion Politics


Donald Trump’s appearance at a Patchogue, NY fundraiser Thursday is sure to open up old wounds.

This is a wretched development, a disgraceful provocation by the Suffolk County Republicans and their chairman, John Jay LaValle, who invited him.

There is no place that should welcome Mr. Trump’s politics, but the choice of Patchogue is particularly repellent. Patchogue is where Marcelo Lucero, an Ecuadorean immigrant, was fatally stabbed in 2008 by a white teenager, one of a marauding gang of high school boys who had made a nighttime sport of assaulting Latino men. The Republicans will be toasting Mr. Trump in a dance hall called the Emporium, on the same street as the crime scene, steps away from where Mr. Lucero fell.

    As usual, tRump is tone deaf to the feelings of other people. If he had any advisers telling him not to do this, he wouldn’t listen to them.
