re: #106 EmmmieG

The young man was chosen because his name “sounded Jewish.”

The black man was killed for being black.

I don’t know if they had had any previous contact with either one.

Were they singled out and stalked? Or were they just random victims?

Tony Graziano (an Italian-American) was murdered during the Brooklyn, Crown Heights riots because he was wearing a dark suit and hat and the attackers mistakenly thought he was a Jew. So was that a race crime or just a random gang killing?
