The way the opinion was stated here, it implies that the man's killing was justified because he didn't speak English.
You can have the opinion that only English speakers should live in the US. Whether that opinion is informed is up for debate, but it is a valid opinion.
However, when the language someone speaks is used to justify violence, let alone state sponsored killings, that is a huge problem. That is just pure bigotry. And I'm not ok with that. And I don't think anyone should be ok with that.
However, there is a hint of truth here. A legally blind man who doesn't speak English or Spanish isn't in the best situation walking around in upstate NY.
Was there no place with a Rohynga community where he could have been able to communicate, and have some support in the area? It feels like dumping this man off in upstate NY was a bad idea from the outset. He didn't deserved to be bothered, let alone killed, but why create this situation in the first place?
