This week's top story: Marcello Lucero, a 37-year-old immigrant from Ecuador, was killed by seven New York City high school students in an apparent hate crime. Police officials say the group of teens, which includes one Latino, are facing charges of first-degree "gang assault."

 
 
 

What should happen to the attackers? Have you ever witnessed a hate crime? Why do you think a Latino was involved?

These people should get charged for murder of courseeeeee. And yes it was a hate crime. That man did absolutely nothing to them and they took his life away. I think the latino was involved to fit in or feel like he was superior than other latinos. But I can't make assumptions on his behalf. It's sad because when we see stories like this we think "Aw how sad." then move on with our lives. But I can only imagine the terror in his face and how scared his family must be now. I hope they are well.
