Whether this attack was intended towards a Muslim or a Hindu or anybody, I think it was extremely cruel and horrible. I hope they lock the perpetrators up and throw away the key. Such people are not fit to live amongst other human beings.
Indian tortured, stabbed in BostonIn a gruesome incident of hate crime against expatriates, an Indian graduate student was robbed, beaten, burned with cigarettes, stuffed in a trunk, stabbed and dumped in the middle of road by four men after he made a food delivery to them in Boston. …Posted by shanti at June 26, 2003 7:21 AM“It’s probably one of the most vicious robberies I have ever seen, but it’s not unheard of,” Fairhaven Police Chief Gary F Souza was quoted as saying by a city daily.
…The men originally intended to rob Bhalerao, but intensified their assault thinking he was Muslim, continuing to beat him even as he tried to explain that he was Hindu, Souza said.
“He pleaded with his attackers… They were telling him he should go back to Iraq,” the police officer said. In addition to the beatings, the suspects burned Bhalerao’s face and ears with a lit cigarette.

OK…NOW ITS DEFINATELY TRUE THAT THESE GUYS SHOULD HAVE NOT HAVE DONE THIS REGARDLESS, HOWEVER I KNOW 3 OUT OF THE 4 OF THEM AND TWO WHOM WERE VERY CLOSE TO ME. WE HAD A RUFF UPBRINGING AND THEY BOTH DEALT WITH ALOT OF DRAMA AND AGGRIVATION BUT TO SAY THAT THEY DON’T DESERVE A CHANCE AT LIFE WOULD BE WRONG!!!! TO THIS DAY I SITLL HAVE CONTACT WITH THOSE TWO AND IT HURTS ME EVERYDAY THAT THEY DID IT AND I DON’T THINK I COULD EVER FORGET WHAT THEY HAVE DONE BUT WE NEED TO LOOK AT WHY THEY DID IT. WE HAVE PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD WHO ARE COMING INTO THIS COUNTRY AND THEY ARE REALLY TERRORISTS, NOT ORDINARY PEOPLE. BUT YET WE STIL LET THEM. THOSE TWO GUYS I THINK WERE ACTING OUT BECAUSE OF ALL THE TERRORISTS WE HAVE AROUND HERE AND I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT ONE OF THEM HAD A BROTHER IN THE ARMY. HE WAS OVER IN IRAQ AND HE DIED. SO HE PROBABLY DID IT OUT OF HURT AND ANGER. THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO WHY THESE GUYS DID WHAT THEY DID, AND THEY ARE BEING PUNISHED FOR THEIR MISTAKES, BUT DEEP DOWN I KNOW THAT THOSE TWO GUYS ARE REALLY BIG HEARTED AND WOULD GIVE YOU THE SHIRT OFF THEIR BACK IF YOU NEEDED IT. SO THEY ARE PAYING FOR THEIR MISTAKE AND THEY KNOW WHAT THEY DID BUT JEEZ YOU CAN’T JUST EXPECT THEM TO BE SHUT OUT FROM THE WORLD. I KNOW OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMMITED MURDER AND STILL GOT A LESSER SENTENCE THEN MY FRIENDS. THEY ARE BACK ON THE STREETS AND STILL DOING THE SAME STUFF. SO WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE REALITY OF ALL THIS, EVERYONE IS NOT PERFECT, AND EVERYONE WILL MAKE MISTAKES. SOME WORSE THEN OTHERS BUT NO MATTER WHAT THEY HAVE ALL COMMITTED A CRIME!!!!
