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?The answer is no. But the name calling is rampant... a poverty of ideas...
Whod'a thunk! an illegal alien with a gun! That made me think of all the hoops I would have to jump through, as a citizen, to own a gun...

Apparently not. Careful. Rodney King asked, "Can't we just get along?" in the middle of the Los Angeles riots.

I am very afraid that you are right. And, if this is the case, I wonder what kind of speech Bush will make in the Fall.

It looks like Americans have yet another reason to get concealed carry permits.

There can be no civil discourse with those who invade. They have developed an entitlement mentality that has been fostered by the federal governments unwillingness to stop them.

Obviously the Waffle House needs more unmanned aerial vehicles and laser-beam sensors.Now that's just plain silly.
Everyone knows that only Biometric ID Cards prevent shootings.

A bloodbath might be what it takes to shake up our government. They seem to always be one step behind. Today the Wafflehouse tomorrow ...

Really disgusting isn't it. Every chance that I get I remind whoever is asking that stupid question, that the last time I checked this was an English speaking country.
