		<description>Hey Mr. Carpenter, I guess we should go to the college of our choice, park ourselves in any class we want.  If anyone objects, We say it's ok wer'e just here to learn. If they say wer'e not legally enrolled, we say, it's ok, nobodies illegal. We only want to take the classes you don't want to take. And, after a few years, every seat is occupied by un-enrolled construction workers,and ,our wealthier neighbors kids can't find a seat anywhere. Maybe, then theyl'l understand what it's like for us construction workers. I worked in bricklaying around 27 years, and, 2.5 years merchant marine. I tried the honorable path to college, you know , working hard to learn a trade , so I could pay my own way. But, I fell 3 stories in 1983, fractured 5 vertabrae in my spine. But, eventually returned to masonry. I've had illegals tell me this isn't my country, and threaten to shoot me.. So, much for the American dream. Now, our benevolent politicians want to give all blue-collar work to illegal Hispanics. Even Barak is too young to know how much damage he's doing. I honor john McCain highly, but he wants to let illegals stay also. While ,promising Americans , they won't outsource others jobs. ...And , don't forget...there was one victim at Jena..and Barak marched for those who gang jumped one man. And Barak, took up the song Si Se Puede in support of illegals.. Blind leading the blind....Deport al illegals..and create jobs..</description>

		<description>If these people were not in this country ILLEGALLY we would not have this problem.  If the federal government does not clean this mess up... deport and stop more from entering the country.  This case will pale in comparison to the violence that might occur.  I work in the construction industry and I see guys everyday that are on the verge of an all out war on these illegal workers.  It is very very volatile situation on the job sites.  Hard working guys are suffering at the hands of these people taking the jobs that nobody wants (Yea! Right).  I don't condone murder, but I think this is just the start of a new kind of hate crime.  Stop anchor baby programs!!!!!!  Stop giving more work visa!!!!!!!!!  Mass deportation NOW!!!!!!!!  No more welfare for illegals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Build the damn fence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Hire more border agents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Fine those who rent to and employ illegals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  MAN I COULD GO ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I"M SO SICK OF THIS S#@T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>DaveonDublin said on 26 Jul 2008 at 10:40 pm: 
As long as its a victim, it’s OK for AP to point out that it was a poor innocent illegal alien. Perhaps we may not be getting the rest of the story. 

The couple had two children together, and Dillman also has a 3-year-old who thought of Ramirez as her father. 

Why wern't they home with the 3 illegitimate kids?</description>

		<description>Also,

What about the illegal that killed a father, and his two sons in San Francisco.

I suppose the headline should have been illegal hispanic killed three whites in a road rage murder.   Of course we all know that would not happen.  

BTW, the same holds true for police killings.  The only time race is mentioned is if the officer is white and the victim was black.   

The media is way too PC and way to obsessed with race when it comes to minorities.</description>

		<description>Ducky is trading in the same sick, slanted PC currency as the main stream media.  In the rare instance an illegal is victimized by a citizen(s) the story is plastered about in a second and the cries or racism are trumpeted.  

But the recurring instances of illegal aliens menancing our society, raping children, and literally getting away with murder get glossed over or twisted into a civil rights struggle.

Nice Ducky.  How un-American of you.  Sicko.</description>

		<description>Cops: Suspected Gang Members Gunned Down Girl, 8
Thursday, July 24, 2008

LOS ANGELES —  Police searching for two suspected gang members who gunned down an 8-year-old girl in an apartment building courtyard were questioning possible witnesses and fielding calls from tipsters Thursday, police said.

The victim was identified as Jasmine Sanders, who lived at the South Los Angeles apartment building where she was shot, said county coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey.

There were no suspects in custody, Officer Marjan Mobasser said.

"We are getting a lot of tips from the public so hopefully that will help investigators find who the suspects are," she said.

Children were playing in the courtyard of their apartment building when two males in their late teens approached and opened fire at a nearby group of people, Mobasser said.

The girl was hit in the chest and pronounced dead at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, she said.

Capt. Dennis Kato told KTTV-TV the girl was an unintended target of the shooting, which was believed to be gang-related.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa promised a swift reaction by police.

"We are going to do everything possible to investigate this matter, to bring these individuals to justice," he said.</description>

		<description>Karla H,

I understand what you are saying...but it seems to me that the implication is that because I am a legal citizen and would do nothing wrong by traveling to NYC, I would not deserve to die. Are we really trying to make the point that this young man somehow deserved what he got (DEATH) because he was here illegally?</description>

		<description>As long as its a victim, it's OK for AP to point out that it was a poor innocent illegal alien. Perhaps we may not be getting the rest of the story. 

"police have reported friction between whites and a growing Hispanic population."

This could mean a variety of things. Does the victim have a history with the accused? Was he in a gang? Is the only witness the victim's girlfriend? Why would an interracial couple choose to hang out alone at night, in the park of a small town that had well-documented and known racial tension? For all we know they could of been looking for a fight. After all, this isn't the 1st time the victim's girlfriend claims to have been "harassed".

Innocent until proven guilty, lets not publicly hang these kids just yet...</description>

		<description>"PORT CARBON, Pa. - Three white teens were charged Friday in what officials said was an epithet-filled fatal beating of an illegal Mexican immigrant"... A HATE crime! .... Ahhh yes.... racism is wrong.... except when it can be used by the newspapers or our judicial system!  Murder is already a crime.  And it is objective (after all... there is a dead body).    Hate, on the other hand, is subjective.</description>

		<description>DiversityGal,  I believe the salient point in legal2's argument is that the illegal shouldn't have been in the USA, by law.  If you went to NYC, you would not be breaking the law.   The law is designed for everyone's protection (victims and would be perps).  Does this make sense to you?</description>

		<description>legal2,

I understand what you are saying, but I find that argument in poor taste. If I as a legal citizen decided to take a trip to New York City, and was murdered, I suppose one could make the argument that my death was 100% preventable had I not decided to take the trip.</description>

		<description>Adjmajor,

I am familiar with what you say.
We're told to call the Police,non emergency number but who ever is answering these phones don't know what to do. They are completely out of touch.

I wonder how much of our tax dollars they get paid???


I guess the best thing to do is turn it into Neighborhood Serveice and let them push it to where it belongs.

All we have gotten is more money for these agencies and they give us the run around.</description>

		<description>Folks, I have to tell you that I am completely frustrated with Prince William County.  On the 18th of July, I noticed that the Taco Bell in Tacketts Mill (on Harbor Drive) had been defaced MASSIVELY with SUR-13 graffiti.  It was quite an extensive job and the vandals must have been there quite awhile.  I did what they tell you to do:  call the cops.  I call non-emergency in PWC and the dispatcher asked me for the address of the taco bell.  I told her it was Tackett's Mill, but that wasn't good enough and she clearly wasn't in any hurry to help me out.  FINALLY, I told her to hold on while I LOOKED THE ADDRESS UP.  She then asked me if it was "gang" or "wanna-be" gang taggings and I told her it was obviously the real deal since it read over and over "SUR-13."  She completely blew me off because it didn't read "MS-13."  Okie dokie.  Two days later, I drive by and the Taco Bell is exactly the same.  On the 21st of July, I wrote to Corey Stewart and the Occuquan County BOS (I can't remember his name) to ask for help on the graffiti - I have yet to hear back from either of them.  I went to the PWC website and found a Clean Community website and called them.  The woman was stunned because she said the police were sapose to pass this information onto her and so far, she had heard nothing.  Finally, I emailed Greg who told me to take pictures (which I plan to do today).  I feel like I went above and beyond to handle this situation and still the graffiti is up.  I give up - sorry for the rant, but I'm frustrated!</description>

		<description>legal2 - you are correct. If he wasn't here illegally, he would still be alive.

The American people are fed up with the federal government's failure to handle the illegal immigration crisis. We have laws that aren't enforced. This frustration leaves Americans angry and resentful - which is not an excuse for murder - but I admit I feel anger and resentment.  I would never, however, commit murder.

One could say that it is the federal government's fault that this illegal alien was murdered.</description>

		<description>It cuts both ways. The death of the illegal at the hands of these disgusting American teens would be 100% preventable - if the victim were not here in the first place.</description>
