Long Island, NY: In a strange twist, police arrested a Hispanic man for tossing a bottle and a piece of wood at parishioners of a Hispanic church in an area of Long Island plagued by racial strife — and charged him with a hate crime. Christhian Munguia Garcia was also charged with breaking into the same church and leaving threatening anti-Hispanic notes, according to police. One of the notes, written in Spanish, declared “Hispanics do not rule. Whites do!” No one was hurt at the church and congregants quickly caught up to Garcia and held him for police.
Garcia sounds like Senor Poco Loco…

KA-BOOOMM!
