Boston men jailed for Trump-inspired hate crime attack
May 17, 2016

BOSTON (Reuters) - Two Boston brothers accused of urinating on and beating a homeless Mexican man and telling police "Donald Trump was right: All these illegals need to be deported," were sentenced to prison on Monday, prosecutors said.

Scott Leader, 38, and Steve Leader, 30, had previously pleaded guilty to indictments charging them with causing bodily injury while committing a civil rights violation, as well as assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, among other charges.

Scott Leader was sentenced to three years in prison and Steve Leader was sentenced to 1-1/2 years, the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office said in a statement. The pair will also be on probation for three years after their prison sentences end.

The Leaders were arrested on Aug. 19 on suspicion of beating Rodriguez, then 58, as he slept in a subway station. The men told police they targeted their victim because they believed he was an illegal immigrant. The victim, Guillermo Rodriguez, said in a statement that he was in fact a permanent resident.

3. Such a lovely pair

Assistant District Attorney Nicole Rimar asked that Scott Leader be sentenced to four to six years, due to his “troubling and significant record” with two prior convictions for assaults that are hate crimes. The older Leader attacked a Middle Eastern store employee after the Sept. 11 attacks, calling him a terrorist, and assaulted an Asian-American on Carson Beach, Rimar said.

The ADA asked that Steven Leader — whose record includes charges of assault and battery on a police officer, assault and battery, resisting arrest, making threats, and drug charges — get three to four years.

Seems they have made a habit of assaulting people.

5. Less than five years, total, for two men with a history of violence--including against police.

I will never be selected for a jury because I will state that I have disgust for this justice system that is criminal.

8. That Dude On The Left Is Only 38

Geez, he looks older than me and i was out of college 3 years when he was born!

I guess that explains his "get off my lawn" attitude.

9. Trump inspires the worst in people

A ham sandwich should be able to beat him in the general election.
