First, a little context to this story....
According to news reports there has been a man, short in stature, roaming the Upper East Side (UES) of Manhattan groping and sexually assaulting women since January.
A few days ago, on July 22nd, a hispanic man by the name of Eusebio Molina, was running in Central Park and had groped a 41 year old female jogger's buttocks. He fled right after but was found by police and arrested. This man was also short in stature (about 5'2") and was put in a lineup to see if he had been the man wanted in connection with the UES attacks. They brought the victims in but they did not identify him as the attacker.
Now, no one is condoning his actions of course and he should be imprisoned, along with the other pervert who is still roaming the UES of Manhattan. However, the characterization of him as a "pipsqueak" is what I question. If you look at the article, is it surprising that it was written by two women? Would those same women refer to him (meaning Eusebio Molina) as a :"wetback" or a "spic"? What do you think? I bet not! Yet, it is perfectly acceptable to attack his short stature!
Here is the article....
