GUNFIRE AT WAFFLE HOUSE AFTER WHITES, HISPANICS ARGUE OVER CITIZENSHIP

A parting gunshot from a vehicle leaving Waffle House in West Asheville, NC shattered a window and caused a minor injury, police said.

The shooting happened around 3:00 a.m. Saturday after a group of whites argued with a group of Hispanics at the 24-hour restaurant on Smokey Park Highway, Asheville police Lt. Wallace Welch said

“The two groups were jawing back and forth with each other over citizenship issues and whatnot,” Welch said.

As the Hispanic group drove off, someone in the vehicle fired at least once into a large window near the front door, he said.

Whether from a ricocheted bullet or flying glass, Welch said, one man’s arm was bleeding when police arrived.

Police were looking for a white Dodge Intrepid that left the restaurant going west.

The CITIZEN-TIMES newspaper first reported the incident, and is currently streaming the 9-11 calls from the Waffle House on its website.

OK, this is getting out of hand. Can't we discuss these issues in a rational, civil discourse?

"rational, civil discourse" is pretty rare in Mexico, where rule of law is pretty much out the window.

We are about to experience a France-like summer.

Obviously the Waffle House needs more unmanned aerial vehicles and laser-beam sensors.

That kind of stuff was going on over 50 years ago when I was a child in So. Calif.

I guess that the rest of the country is just now catching up.

Group B shoots at Group A, and it's "gunfire"? Gunfire is like exhaust fumes, it just happens? How about this for a headline: "Hispanics shoot at whites in citizenship dispute"? Isn't that more accurate?

Liberals are not shackled to laws of decent behavior. Every expression is justified by the validity of their beliefs

I've been wondering since last night's speech what will happen when the "non-patrolling, non-enforcing" National Guard on the border is targeted by Mexican drug dealers and illegal alien smugglers.
THAT will be the true test of the Administration's cajones.

The shooting phase of the Reconquista has begun. Watch your backs, especially those of you who dare publically voice your opposition to illegal immigration.

NO.
Round up the illegals and send them home from whence they came.
Close the border to ALL illegals.

And yes I do have an attitude.

I believe this is only the beginning, it is my assumption this will explode into a real bloodbath due to the Governments lack of real time settlement of this issue of Illegal Immigration.

Reminds me of an old Mott The Hoople tune:

"Violence, violence, its the only thing that will make you see sense!"

Looks like somebody needed to be "scattered and smothered".

Scattered, smothered, covered, and deported. That's how I like them.
