California newspaper office vandalized over use of ‘illegal’ immigrant label
Fox News ^ | January 09, 2015

A California newspaper will continue to use the term “illegals” to describe people who enter the U.S. without permission, despite an attack on its building by vandals believed to object to the term.

The Santa Barbara News-Press’s front entrance was sprayed with the message “The border is illegal, not the people who cross it” in red paint, sometime either Wednesday night or early Thursday, according to the newspaper’s director of operations, Donald Katich. The attack came amid wider objections to a News-Press headline that used the word “illegals” alongside a story on California granting driver’s licenses to people in the country illegally. […]

In addition to the writing on the building, graffiti espousing a no-borders mentality was scribbled on the walkway through Storke Placita and the sidewalk near Santa Barbara City Hall. Police were braced for a protest in front of the paper later this week. Jan said hundreds could show up, and the Police Department is aware of the call for a protest. …

Basically the same thing (but to a lesser degree) as what happened in Paris. Terrorist intimidation.

Freedom isn't a national suicide pact and the fanaticism is reaching the boiling point from
those who take our Freedoms for granted. Those from other countries are not taught to
appreciate what we have, and will destroy it from within because working for
and maintaining prosperity is to hard, and not fair.

The Millennials will not last IMO. They will destroy everything, including themselves.

If you like your border, you can keep it.

I made the comment earlier that Westerners are more afraid of Political Correctness than Islam.

Speech is being tested, and it must survive at any cost.

Another group of people who think they are entitled while there illegally and want to close down free speech.
This just demonstrates why the school system and this administration is pathetic.
If you come here you don’t break the law, it is really that simple and if you break the law you get punished.

One would think that it would not be hard to understand but then again when we have millions, American and illegals here who think certain laws should be ignored then this is what we get and why this country will end up as a third world cess pit .

Correct, same internationalist game fomenting dissolution of the nation state, anarchy, ant a revolution of the proletariat but using different stalking horses: blacks gays, Mexicans, Muslims... all for the benefit of a tiny, corrupt, and tyrannical elite as ented by their witless henchmen.

Gosh, I wonder what game that might be?
