True enough! Must be one bad barrio. ;)
"Ponce drifted in and out of sleep. Soon, her husband would light a fire and let out her dog, Vega, a pit bull-German shepherd mix, to guard her."
Here in my home town, Dalton, Ga., you never saw a pit bull until the Latinos moved in. Now it seems they're everywhere. I've, in the last three months, had two occasions where pits have come after me while out for a walk. I don't know what a small child would have done. This dogs were crazy. I've never seen dogs that, off their own property, would not turn and run when a human yelled, No! and stomped their foot.
vig-i-lan-te: a member of a volunteer committee organized to suppress and punish crime summarily (as when the processes of law appear inadequate); also: a self-appointed doer of justice.
When did vigilante become a bad word? I'd love to be considered a vigilante.
I may go on a Sharpton Hunger Strike this weekend.
Clam chowder, steak tips and a couple pints of Harpoon IPA.
That'll show the MAN I am serious!
WTH?
BTW, San Pablo is a s*** hole of a town.
I can't believe no one posted the pic until post 106.
It's all over the left-wing sites. The pinkos are not being very kind to this poor woman, either.
Since we are compassionate conservatives, we'll have to hold back....a little.
She not only participated in the March4Education, she was one of a few participants who were interviewed for a news article covering the event. The organizer of the march was one Cesar Cruz, a Chicano culture/reconquesta activist who. among other things, writes a column on the BrownPride.com web site.
Cruz also has a community education group, the Making Changes Center. There is a weekly class, Parent Organizing, taught by a Diana Ponce, with instruction on "how to organize and advocate for their children's education.". Also taught at the center is class on "Street Journalism." The instructor for the class is Raul Alcaraz, a student from San Fransisco State who is a member of the on campus La Raza group. BTW, Alcaraz and quite a few others from SF State drove in for the March4Education.
My conclusion: Diana Ponce is not just some random individual concerned for the rights of migrants.
If you walk where these killer dogs roam, carry a spray bottle filled with bleach or ammonia and let them have it if they get close. Some spray bottles can really lay out a spray that goes 12-15 feet. One or two shots to the face and they won't come near you again.
Thanks! I'll try that.
I can tell you have actually done this. A couple of times a year I fast for a while too. I don't have any set time, just however I feel. But it usually lasts a couple of weeks. Its interesting how much the craving for food is psychological. It is good to tell your body "no" once in a while.
Yes, that was KFI's John & Ken. The interview lasted maybe ten minutes. It was pathetic, but comical. Every time they'd nake a valid point, she'd reply with a weak "Yes, but..." reply - you know, when someone knows they're wrong but doesn't want to admit it, just agree then disagree. Once they finally got to what her point was - that securing the border is the government's job - they said that they actually agree with her on that, so what's the problem? She answered by ending the interview and hanging up.
It was obvious from the start that she had no idea what was going on with the Minutemen Project, except that she'd heard them called vigilantes and that's supposed to be a bad thing, and they had guns so they must be using them to shoot the poor Mexicans (as opposed to protecting themselves from murderous thugs smuggling drugs and people). Yeah, the more ignorant people we have in this country, the better off we'll be. In the meantime, I'll be eating the burgers she doesn't want to eat!
