This story reminds me of the Emmett Till murder except this time it was a Mexican victim viciously dispatched by two white teenagers. At the root of this homicide, ostensibly, was jealousy. Perhaps it was just coincidence that the victim was a Mexican dating a white girl; one who had the victim and killers competing for her attention.
Wylie teens sentenced to 30 years for murder Dallas Morning News
Compared to Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, or Freddie Grey, the records of these two "innocent lambs" made them look like choir boys. Yet none of the black "thugs," as many here believed they were, committed anything near as reprehensible as these two young white boys did. The lynching of Ivan Mejia, yes that is what it was, exposes the underlying racial animus that lurks just beneath the surface in every white community in Texas and beyond.
The news articles do not mention it but we know the source of the hate that drove two young white males to kill a "Mexican race mixer." It does not take a genius to know that the environment in which these young white boys were raised was most likely conducive to nurturing the attitude that could propel them to commit such a horrific crime.
The judge had the leeway of sentencing the boys anywhere between five and 99 years in prison. That lenient 30 year sentence is well noted and must be weighed in comparing similar cases where in the defendant is black or Hispanic and has murdered a white person. For the record, I doubt any research of such a comparison would produce an equal outcome.

Two Wylie teens convicted of killing a classmate last year in a dispute over a girl were sentenced Friday to 30 years in prison.
District Judge Mark Rusch made his ruling after weighing the brutal, premeditated attack against the offenders’ young ages and their lack of criminal history. He cited their betrayal of a friend and their betrayal of everything their parents taught them when they committed this horrific crime.
