The face of hate in Texas.


Two white teenagers severely beat and sodomized a Hispanic 16-year-old boy who they believed had tried to kiss a Hispanic 12-year-old girl at a party, authorities said.

The attackers forced the boy out of the Saturday night house party, beat him and sodomized him with a plastic pipe, shouting anti-Hispanic epithets, said sheriff's Lt. John Martin.

He was in critical condition Thursday, five days after the attack. A police officer said investigators believe the attack was prompted by the age gap between the beating victim and the younger girl.

Harris County prosecutor Mike Trent said the attackers also cut the victim with a knife. They then poured bleach over the boy, apparently to destroy DNA evidence, and left him for dead, authorities said. He was not discovered until Sunday, 12 hours after the attack.

You know if they had just punched the guy or told an adult about their concerns, this might have been a story of two boys who tried to protect a child. But when you add the racial hatred it just becomes a sad commentary on the state of racial harmony in our country.

They just seem so young to hate so much.
