“It’s one thing to be called slurs, and I’ve been called slurs before. But it’s another thing, I think, to have a physical attack and on Yale’s campus,” a sophomore said.
In the community message, the police chief wrote in part:
“I share your anger, disgust, and heartbreak at the prospect of a racially motivated crime so close to our own campus.” “That is something that happens in a lot of places in New Haven, you know, and in some way we’re really fed up with the assaults that happen to our community,” said John Lugo, who is with a group called Unidad Latina en Accion.“There is like this feeling if you are an immigrant, they can assault you and do things to you just because maybe you’re not going to speak up,” Lugo said.“I don’t go out alone and I have pepper spray on me, but that’s always been the case here,” Galvan said.
Yale said the victim was not a member of the school community and it doesn’t appear that the suspects were either, based on what they know right now.This article tagged under:
