Attorney General Eric Holder is being urged to launch a hate crimes probe after the body of a gay Puerto Rican teenager was found burned, decapitated and dismembered. Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado was an openly gay nineteen year old. In an interview on Univision, a local police investigator appeared to blame the victim. The investigator said, “Someone like that, who does those kind of things, and goes out in public, knows full well that this might happen to him.”
