This is indeed a travesty! Residentconcern, you have to realize criminals are just that, criminals! No matter what color, language, creed, etc! And you mentioned hate crime, but where in this article does it say the person/persons was shot the construction worker was non-Hispanic? Or where did it say the shooters where African American, Asian, etc? You are assuming that since this worker was shot in DC, that it automatically means they were black. And even if they were black, criminals are criminals once again, that doesn't constitute a hate crime. I am not justifying the shooters motives, but you really don't know the entire story or what sparked this issue. I agree that nothing warrants somebody being shot in the head, but don't jump to conclusions that this is a hate crime. Last I checked with as a majority Hispanics (illegally) in the U.S. that has a issue with blacks for no good reason, so don't try to flip the script. Many come illegally, demanding rights, on the notion that the U.S. is their land, and have a nerve to talk about hate crimes? Yeh OK!
