Title: Feds: Cops covered up hate crime
Post by: loco on December 16, 2009, 01:11:00 PM
3 police officers among 5 people indicted in race-related beating
December 15, 2009


Washington (CNN) -- Five people, including three police officers, have been indicted on charges related to the beating death of a Latino man in rural Pennsylvania in July 2008, the Justice Department said Tuesday.

Two indictments charge the five with federal hate crimes, obstruction of justice and conspiracy in what authorities are calling a racially motivated attack.

The indictments come almost six months after a Schuylkill County jury acquitted two teens of aggravated assault and one of murder in the death of Luis Ramirez.

The undocumented Mexican immigrant was beaten into a coma during a street brawl involving the teens and their friends on a residential street in Shenandoah. The incident divided the small, rural mining town along racial lines and became a flash point for racial tensions nationwide.

After the verdict, Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell denounced the attack as racially motivated and called on the Justice Department to intervene.

A federal grand jury handed up the indictments last week, and they were unsealed Tuesday. The two young men, Derrick Donchak and Brandon Piekarsky, are accused of a hate crime for beating Ramirez while shouting racial epithets at him, according to the department.

If convicted of hate crime charges, Donchak and Piekarsky face a maximum penalty of life in prison. Donchak also faces a maximum of 20 years in prison if convicted of obstruction, and an additional five years on the charge of conspiring to obstruct justice.

Donchak also faces three counts of conspiring to obstruct justice and related offences. He is accused of attempting to orchestrate a coverup with members of the Shenandoah Police Department, the Justice Department said.

Shenandoah Police Chief Matthew Nestor and Lt. William Moyer and Officer Jason Hayes are charged with conspiring to obstruct justice in the Ramirez investigation. Moyer faces additional charges of witness and evidence tampering and making false statements to the FBI.

Nestor, Moyer and Hayes intentionally failed to "memorialize or record" statements made by Piekarsky about the incident, and "wrote false and misleading official reports" that "intentionally omitted information about the true nature of the assault and the investigation," the indictment said.


Nestor, Moyer and Hayes each face up to 20 years in prison on each of the obstruction charges if convicted, authorities said, along with an additional five years on the charges of conspiring to obstruct justice. Moyer faces an additional five years if convicted of making false statements to the FBI.

At the time of Ramirez's death, Hayes was dating Piekarsky's mother and Moyer's son was a high school freshman who played football with the youths involved in the attack, according to the indictment.

State prosecutors alleged that a group of teens including Donchak and Piekarsky, then 19 and 17, baited Ramirez into a confrontation after a night of drinking. Donchak and Piekarsky were walking home from a local festival when they encountered Ramirez and attacked him, "striking and kicking him while members of the group yelled racial slurs at him," the Justice Department said.

Prosecutors alleged Piekarsky delivered a fatal kick to Ramirez's head after Ramirez was knocked to the ground. A medical examiner ruled Ramirez died from blunt-force trauma to the head.

In June, an all-white Pennsylvania jury acquitted Piekarsky of third-degree murder and convicted him and Donchak of misdemeanor simple assault. The two were also found not guilty of aggravated assault, ethnic intimidation and hindering apprehension.

Donchak was convicted of corrupting minors for providing the alcohol to his friends before the fight. The two were sentenced to up to 23 months in the county jail.

After the verdict, Rendell sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder recommending the Justice Department pursue civil rights charges.

"The evidence suggests that Mr. Ramirez was targeted, beaten and killed because he was Mexican," Rendell wrote. "Such lawlessness and violence hurts not only the victim of the attack, but also our towns and communities that are torn apart by such bigotry and intolerance."

Gladys Limon, an attorney representing Crystal Dillman, Ramirez's fiancee, said Dillman welcomes the indictments, but remains fearful for her safety. Dillman has moved to an undisclosed location outside Shenandoah. Her truck was vandalized, and some people have yelled racial epithets at her on the streets, the attorney said.

"She is overwhelmed and is feeling a range of emotions," Limon said. "His family has suffered a great deal in the past year."

It has been particularly hard for Ramirez's family as the holidays approach, she said.

"The children miss their father. Crystal misses having him around for the holidays," Limon said. "Crystal says this is a gift from God, that this will bring justice to Luis."

A petition calling for federal charges in the case garnered 50,000 signatures, Limon said.

A hearing in the case was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon in federal court in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

"The FBI wants to hear from anyone who may have information regarding alleged civil rights violations or public corruption in Schuylkill County," the Justice Department said Tuesday. Those with information can contact the Allentown, Pennsylvania, FBI office.

The fact that it involved a hispanic is irrelevant. I'd say this is more "justice" sympathizer esque.
...or at least should be viewed in that light. I know what you mean tho, but just because loco may have a natural bias towards issues involving hispanics, ...doesn't make this story any less relevant in the grand scheme of things.

It makes no difference to the victim, ...they're still dead, but it has ramifications for society, and it makes a difference to sentencing judges, as it should, because it speaks volumes about the perpetrator. Any sick fvck who would kill a man for no other reason than their nationality is NOT someone who belongs in society. I'd feel safer around someone who killed someone for adultery, or over a botched business deal, or to silence a potential blackmail threat, than I would someone who could kill someone over nationality. It's like those nutjobs in the Middle East who want to kill people for no other reason than the fact that they are American. How fvcked is that?

All the reasons you gave were good reasons to kill.I ask you,would you feel better if some black kid walked into a 711 and killed the black guy behind the counter for 10 dollars rather then if a white kid walked in and shot the guy because he hated blacks?Sorry,I see no difference and both killers should get the death penalty.

Now,once again I ask,36,000 black on white rapes here in this country,how many charged with a hate crime?You mean to tell me that the whites werent chosen for their race?Once again ZERO white on black rapes.

Hate crimes is just another left wing government plot to equal the playing field and punnish whites.Look up the FBI stats on who is charged with hate crimes and then look up who commits BY FAR the most violent crimes and then tell me why whites are the ones who overwhelmingly get charged with hate crimes.

So you admit whites have an advantageous in the power structure of society aka white skin priviledge.

Perhaps whites are overwhelmingly being charged under this legislation because.... they are the ones primarily committing crimes against others based solely on their race, nationality and/or orientation? Such hubris doesn't develop naturally, ...it takes centuries of priviledge to produce that kind of arrogance. It's time for it to end.

anyone murder that happens, happens out of hate, but its only a issue if a minority gets murdered then its labels a hate crime,  thats fucking stupid and is only done by the chicken shit panzies that walk around trying to please a group of people that are always looking to play the racecard and the victim role

Murder charges as a result of drunk driving are not born of hate. Murder charges resulting from a victim of a robbery having a heart attack does not steam from hate. It's labeled a hate crime when a minority is murdered while the perpetrator hurls racist epithets YES! It's not like the victim and assailant have had previous contact or an unresolved conflict. When you have a random unprovoked attack based on nothing more than an individual's race, nationality, orientation etc., then yes... it's a hate crime and a special breed of stupidity.

white people just dont try to pursue it as hate crime , whites just see it as crime,  blacks and minorities on the other hand will use the race card any chance they can, that is why you always hear about white people commiting so called hate crimes. if whites cried hate crime everytime a minority commited a crime against a white you would see an entire diff story

The difference is when the minority guy is kicking the shit out of you, he's yelling for you to give him your wallet.
It's made pretty clear that it's your money he wants. When the White guy is pounding the crap out of the minority, he's hurling racist and/or homophobic epithets. They make it clear they hate you simply for being YOU. Either that, or minorities are simply smarter than whites?  :P

Once again,36,000 black on white rapes ZERO white on black rapes ,check the violent offenders in this country they are predominantly black!!Barely a one charged with a hate crime.I guess they were just raping and killing whites out of love.

These laws are enacted by guilt ridden whites and ignorant foolish blacks like Maxine Waters.There is ZERO need for a hate crime law.Murder is murder,robbery is robbery,rape is rape,skin color,origin and sexual preferance shoul play zero role in dictating sentances.

and just to fix your story , i have seen white kids get beat up pretty bad by blacks just for cutting through the wrong part of the parking lot, cause that is where the blacks hang out,  once again not labeled hate crime, i have lived in areas where if a white guy drove down certain streets at night he got shot at for nothing more than not being black and once again not labeled a hate crime.. WHY THE DOUBLE STANDARD,  the double standard is to apease a group of people that love to play the race card plain and simple

I don't see a double standard. You said it yourself in your own little scenario. they got beaten up for cutting through the wrong part of the parking lot. Everybody protects their territorial borders...including countries. You're probably one of those guys screaming about creating a huge border fence with Mexico, and saying border agents should be allowed to shoot mexicans trying to cross dead! C'mon... you can admit it.

When someone get behind the wheel while drunk, and ends up killing people as a result... are they not charged with murder? When someone dies during the commission of a crime, ...is the criminal not charged with murder... whether they laid a finger on them or not? Make up your mind... first you proclaim "CRIME IS CRIME, THE PUNISHMENT SHOULD FIT THE CRIME REGUARDLESS OF THE MOTIVES" ...yet here you refer to two or three different types of murder as apples & oranges. clearly there are varying degrees of murder. And yes, I do believe in the labeling of crime. only a simpleton could see things in such stark black & white terms without any shades of grey.

once again race shouldnt be a factor cause the bottom line is a human killed another human for no legit reason, so at that point who gives a shit about reason cause there is no excuse, he is a murderer, and should be punished as a murderer

That's my point exactly. If you're going to murder someone... at least have some reason to do it.
I can understand if somone murders someone to get their way, to keep someone silent, to exact revenge,
...but based on something completely out of their control for which they have no power  to change or influence is just plain BS, and that kind of irrational stupidity needs to be as far OUTSIDE and AWAY from civilized society as possible

all this political correctness hate crime bull shit is to appease people that still feel they are owed something from the white man, but when the day is over if a white or black man murders another white or black man it is still murder news media wants to toss the words racial and hate crime around cause it creates a victim and raises ratings

First of all, it is the assault that creates the victim, whether you call it a hate crime or not.

Secondly, hate crime legislation applies to all races. Blacks, whites, asians, latinos, jews, gays, heteros etc, all can be charged with the commission of a hate crime. I guess if you're not part of a group that traditionally has experienced these types of injustices constantly foisted upon them, you're too blind to see it or even recognize what constitutes a hate crime.

The hate crime designation exists to make sure people are punished even after events transpire like they did in this case. Thankfully it does exist so that these guys are punished. Your bullshit about going after the judges or whatever it is your railing about makes zero sense.

These guys beat this man to death because he was Mexican. Nothing else to it. It was a racially motivated crime and should be treated as such.

I dont know one single black person who was ever a slave and i would be willing to bet nobody on here does, cause they would have to be 150 years old , so what is the prob? christ we have a black pres but many blacks still wanna play the race card, i am sure many of you will think i am racist cause of this but truth is i have a half black half white wife , and more black friends than white that feel the exact same way as i do about things like we have talked about in this thread

Why do you bring in blacks or Obama. This whole case has nothing to do with Blacks or Obama, but here you are talking about Blacks and Obama. Freudian slip, ...Pavlovian response? This involved whites and a hispanic. Untwist your mind.

You do have an awesome point...And I can see where it come froms.

But I might be an idiot, because I think if the word race, black, white etc is taken out of incidents, it would gradually work racisim out of america

I agree but unfortunately that would probably be impossible to accomplish.

if a man of another ethnicity comes up and hits me my thought it dam what a fucking asshole, not dam what a black or mexican ass hole , but unfortunantly there are still some who havent evolved enough in the brain to say dam what and ass hole , they still feel the need to make another issue of it and label it, and as long as society keeps applying these labels to things the race issue will never go away

It's not about whether the guy is merely an asshole.
If he has attaccked you for nothing more than your race, or your sexual orientation, while hurling racial or sexually oriented epithets and derogatory statements... that makes it pretty clearly a hate crime.

Post by: BM OUT on December 18, 2009, 06:20:11 AM
Oh C'mon Mal, Puleaze!!! ...do you honestly actually think Billy looks up anything...
other than his own anus, for the various stats and numbers he throws out there?

Hey you little fucking moron.Here are the stats you filthy skank.My wish is YOU were getting raped by a few blacks and we would see a very different view of things.If you would bother to do a google search you could have gotten the facts yourself ho.

The contrasts are even more stark in the case of interracial rape. Studies from the late 1950s showed that the vast majority of rapes were same-race offenses. Research in Philadelphia carried out in 1958 and 1960 indicated that of all rapes, only 3.2 percent were black-on-white assaults and 3.6 percent were white-on-black. Since that time, the proportion of black-on-white rapes has soared. In a 1974 study in Denver, 40 percent of all rapes were of whites by blacks, and not one case of white-on-black rape was found. In general, through the 1970s, black-on-white rape was at least ten times more common that white-on-black rape. [319]

Because interracial rape is now overwhelmingly black on white, it has become difficult to do research on it or to find relevant statistics. The FBI keeps very detailed national records on crime, but the way it presents rape data obscures the racial element rather than clarifies it. Dr. William Wilbanks, a criminologist at Florida International University, had to sift carefully through the data to find that in 1988 there were 9,406 cases of black-on-white rape and fewer than ten cases of white-on-black rape. [320] Another researcher concludes that in 1989, blacks were three or four times more likely to commit rape than whites, and that black men raped white women thirty times as often as white men raped black women. [321]

Interracial crime figures are even worse than they sound. Since there are more than six times as many whites as blacks in America, it means that any given black person is vastly more likely to commit a crime against a white than vice versa.

i dont give a fuck what they are saying or why i am getting attaced, i just care that i am getting attacked, who gives a shit why, fact is that assault is assault for whatever motive any assault is equaly unacceptable in society, why does it have to have a label, are grown people realy that big of cry babies that it have to have a name for it ?

"Hate Crimes" laws is another perversion of reality by liberal morons.  it shouldnt matter what the race, motive, or religion is.  A violent crime should be treated as such and thats it.

Post by: 24KT on December 18, 2009, 07:53:25 AM
the only question on this page i have asked 2 times about your kids being attacked.  i guess since motive is so important you would ask him why he is beating your kids before you decided how to handle getting him off of your kids.  you know since you say motive is so important

I found the question so incredibly ridiculous I would never have guessed this was the one you were referring to.
The premise is stupid. Who the heck figures out the motive for an attack before stopping the attack? Obviously the time for figuring out the motivation for the attack is AFTERWARDS. But what does any of that have to do with corruption? That IS afterall what this thread is about... police corruption. This is not about debating hate crime legislation or the definition of hate crimes, or even if such designations should exist. the fact is... they do. And the police in this incidence, not only covered up and concealed evidence, ...but falsified reports in order to do so. You ought to concern yourself with that... cops covering up evidence in order to give murders a slap on the wrist for a senseless violent murder.
Title: Re: Feds: Cops covered up hate crime
Post by: 24KT on December 18, 2009, 08:08:13 AM
but according to you , motive is soooo important you would have to know it  cause without knowing his motive you may or may not act proper while pulling this person off of your kids ,   are you going to keep contradicting yourself more???

No... only according to your perversely intentional twisting of my statement.
You're either intentionally twisting my words, or too stupid to understand my words,
...either way, I won't be wasting any more time discussing this further. i've made my opinion on the matter clear.
Obviously, we do not agree on the subject of hate crime legislation, ...but we don't have to... the law is clear.

How do you  feel about police corruption? How do you feel about cops concealing evidence, covering up and concealing the crimes of murderers and falsifying reports in order to do so? How do you feel about that?

If that makes you feel less victimized by hate crime legislation... more power to you.
But if you ever... God forbid, find yourself the random victim of a group of minorities who targetted you for no other reason other than the fact that you are white, ...know that hate crime legislation will be there to ensure they are properly punished for their senseless unprovoked violence against you.

And when a cop pulls you over for speeding... your motives for doing so play a part in the kind of ticket if any you get. If you had a woman who was 9 months pregnant and in the process of giving birth, ...chances are you might only NOT get a ticket for speeding, ...but a police escort with sirens blaring all the way to the hospital.

Blacks will NOT be charged with hate crimes THATS THE PROBLEM!!!!!!The law is solely intended to punish whites.Blacks commit the vast majority of violent offenses here yet whites are charged with hate crimes far more often.Black on white crime dwarfs white on black crime yet its whites who are charged with hate crimes.Hate crime laws are stupid,unnecessary and redundant.

As far as the topic goes, I dont agree with "hate crimes" laws since people are becoming more mixed and it leaves too much authority to the govt to determine motivation when the reality is that if a violent crime is committed against someone, their race should play no part whatseover, either for the criminal or the victim.

Now,I ask you this.Who allowed Rev.

Now,I gave an interview to Resistance magazine.Please tell me how that compares to sitting in the pew and listening to Rev.

No- She's a total fucking moron on every single area that is known to the human race.

Hate Crime legislation is one of the most serious infringements on free speech that exist in this country today.

Think about it like this-- ( and this actually happened). If you were hanging out in your own neighborhood one day and saw someone breaking into one of your family members cars and you tried to apprehend them and a physical altercation ensued, would you be justified in using force to restrain them until the police arrived?

I think many people would say yes, while most others would agree that even if they were not willing to use physical force- they would hardly shed a tear for the perpetrator as long as he was not seriously injured in the process.

Now, lets say you called the perpetrator a spic, or a black or a wop or a kike or whatever. Does physically restraining that person-- hitting them if necessary, now escalate the incident into a hate crime?

In New York City it does. Randomly assaulting someone for absolutely no reason-- Or for any reason is assault. If you call the person names-- it's now a hate crime. How fucking retarded is that? Unless you explicitly go after someone because of their race/ sexual orientation, the idea of prosecuting someone for a hate crime because they called someone a mean name is absolutely idiotic.

I wonder if the whole cast of west side story feels that it is acting out hate crimes whenever it engages in any fight scenes.

OJ wasn't acquitted due to inadmissible evidence, he was acquitted due to police misconduct and failure to follow established procedures which brought in the spectre of reasonable doubt. Furthermore, those murder occurred on June 13th 1994, well over 15 yrs ago prior to hate crime legislation. Had he committed those murders, it still wouldn't have constituted a hate crime. Just because victim and assailant are of different races, doesn't automatically make it a hate crime.

Yes, Canada has it's share of idiots too, ...however relatively speaking, I do believe we are a superior society.
