[quote]New Hampshire have labeled the attempted lynching of a 8-year-old child a hate crime after facing criticism for a very sloppy investigation.
Family members like the child’s grandmother Lorrie Slattery told reporters the boy was playing with a group of teens in the Claremont neighborhood when it took a dark turn. The teens reportedly called him racial epithets while throwing rocks at his legs.
“The (teenagers) said, ‘Look at this,’ supposedly putting the rope around their necks,” Slattery said. “One boy said to (her grandson), ‘Let’s do this,’ and then pushed him off the picnic table and hung him.”[quote]
