Police arrested a pair of suspects accused in an alleged bias attack against a Latino in the Long Island town of Patchogue. If the name of that locaation sounds familiar it’s because it’s the same place were Marcelo Lucero was slain in a hate crime last year.In the latest case, two teens were charged with assaulting a man who- much like Lucero- was originally from Ecuador. The victim claimed that he was beat up earlier this month while walking on the street around midnight. According to police, the victim was attacked without provocation and the assailants uttered racial slurs like calling him "a *** Mexican".
Last week, authorities arrested another teen suspected of the attack; oddly, that suspect was of Hispanic background.
Lucero’s death along with the latest beating has raised fear and anxiety among Long Island’s growing Latino immigrant population:
Authorities said some of the teens had attacked local Hispanics in a series of incidents stretching back a year, prompting an outcry from Hispanic residents who said police hadn't taken the earlier assaults seriously.Image- New York Times (A girl at the makeshift memorial for Marcelo Lucero last year.)
Police have emphasized that since Lucero's death, they have been particularly sensitive to crimes against Hispanic immigrants.

Suffolk's County Executive Steve Levy, the Great Racist and facilitator of Attacks, in Patchogue, Long Island, New York
Complicit Complacency with Racist Attacks and even with Murder
The Most stupid Racist Jokes and Remarks from Steve Levy.
Thanks for information on Patchoque, Long Island, New York, where politician Steve Levy causes Millions of Troubles with his Hate for Latinos.
He tried to implement the infamous "Minutemen" in Long Island, he is a close friend of Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minutemen. Remember that the Minutemen killed a beautiful 9 year old girl in Arizona and her father in a home invasion, on June 2009.
Suffolk's County Executive, Steve Levy constantly says the most Racist and Stupid things and had animated the thugs and hooligans that kill Latinos like the horrible death of Marcelo Lucero in Patchogue, November 2008.
Latino Mothers tell their sons never to get out at night and youngsters should go in pairs or bigger parties during the day.
Steve Levy is not only a comedian of Racist Stupid Jokes but a facilitator of Attacks to Latinos and other Races, like Sikhs, Asians, etc ...

Attack on Muslim Women Included Threats of Rape, Murder
In the News
By Patrick Young, Esq. CARECEN August 28, 2009 8:05 AM
The Islandia man who attacked two Muslim women last week, threatened to rape and kill them, according to a report in the New York Post. The Post quoted one of the victims, who said Joseph Ballance yelled at them: "This isn't Halloween! Get into my car so I can f- - - the s- - - out of you, chop you into little pieces and kill you".
In a rant that has become all too common in Suffolk, Ballance told police: "They don't belong here...They shouldn't be walking around like that."
Ballance allegedly spat on the car of Chervern Cartier and her 20-year-old daughter on August 20 at a Hess gas station in Smithtown. He then put his own car in reverse and tried to run them over. The women were dressed in Muslim robes.
While County Executive Steve Levy said yesterday that "This kind of behavior has no place in Suffolk", in fact, these types of crimes have become all too common in Suffolk. In Patchogue alone, there have been four bias incidents, including a brutal physical attack, in just the first nine months after the murder of Marcelo Lucero. The latest attack occurred just a week before the anti-Muslim outrage. Only one of the Patchogue incidents has resulted in arrests.
