Republican candidate for Virginia Governor Ed Gillespie's vow to implement policies that would crack down on the notorious Latino gang known as MS-13 was dubbed "racist" by his Democratic opponent Ralph Northam. "That a man aspiring to the highest office in this state would single out these immigrants and children of immigrants is repugnant," Northam insisted.
State and local law enforcement officers, however, regard MS-13 as a serious threat to the inhabitants of the communities in which they carry out their criminal depredations. Alexandria, Virginia Police Chief Earl Cook called the gang "more vicious and violent than the Mafia. Our streets cannot be safe if we don't exert the extra effort and vigilance needed to combat these criminals."
Northam maintains that "I am not opposed to law enforcement directed at criminal activity. But I do think it needs to be more balanced in terms of the racial composition of suspects arrested and prosecuted. Making scapegoats of the youths who belong to MS-13 is the kind of bigotry inspired by Donald Trump and his minions, one of whom is my opponent in the upcoming election."
"No law-abiding person denies the need to crack down on these violent criminals," Gillespie countered. "The notion that we should seek a racially-balanced prison population as a meaningful way to promote public safety is deluded and counterproductive. In my view, given its tactics and the frequency with which they assail victims, MS-13 should be at the top of our 'most wanted' list."

How dare he suggest that immigrants are criminals!
Getting to the point where whites won’t be able to utter the word “black” in any conversation. The liberal mind is genetically flawed.
“...more racial balanced in terms of the composition of those arrested and prosecuted.”
What? If too many blacks or Hispanics have been arrested or prosecuted police have got to stop arresting and prosecuting them? Or start arresting more whites to balance the outcome?
What kind of Orwellian justice system has Northam got planned for Virginia?
Could it be a better idea to arrest and prosecute perps regardless of racial background? Oh noooo. Nooo. That would be RACISM!
Well the Stoopids of Virginia elected Terry McAuliffe,
Gots to believe thy be stoopid enough to vote for this ass clown Ralph Northam too.
It’s wrong to discriminate against members of MS13 and their chillen? Idiot
