Clearly a Federal hate-crime

WATCH this video! - Fickin' Unbelievable ...... this is clearly a federal hate-crime against a woman in GA that needs to be prosecuted as such!

An Army Reservist, Tashawnea Hill, was kicked and punched on her head and body by a white man, Troy D. West, on Sept. 9 as he screamed racial and gender slurs at her outside a Cracker Barrel in Morrow, about 15 miles southeast of Atlanta, police said. Troy D. West, 47, became enraged when Hill told him to be careful after he nearly hit her 7-year-old daughter while opening the restaurant's door, police said. Many witnesses confirm Ms. Hill's allegations againt West.

President Barack Obama has appointed more Hispanics to high office than any president ever has in the history of this country. I beleive it reflects the growing political clout of Hispanics, the nation's largest minority group. Remember to register to VOTE and VOTE everytime you get an opportunity.
