A Boston beauty salon was more bloody than beautiful this weekend when a brawl broke out over a customer speaking Spanish.
"Speak English! This is America!" one woman reportedly screamed at another at Kathy's Nail Design in the Dorchester section of the city.
The remark ignited a massive melee at the salon, with numerous women engaging in manicure-to-manicure combat.
"Ten years in this country, I never seen anything like this. The lady says 'Speak English, I don't want to hear Spanish!' and big fight happens," shop owner David Win told the Boston Herald. "There was blood in here and everything. There were a lot of customers in here. It [was] crazy."
Friday's incident prompted a call to 9-1-1, and an officer dispatched to break up the battle received scratches on his neck and arm.
Police say it began as one of the suspects, Sonia Pina, 20, was speaking Spanish to her cousin when another woman, Nakeisha Prichard, 20, went on the attack. Within minutes, at least four women were engaged in the salon scuffle.
"The two suspects began to argue and a fight ensued," said police spokeswoman Sharon Dottin.
Prichard allegedly pulled off her pump and began beating Pina with it, explaining to police, "I accidentally took my shoe off and hit her with it after she punched me."
She ended up with charges of assault and battery, resisting arrest, and assault on a police officer, inflicted by her newly manicured fake acrylic nails.
Pina was charged with assault and battery for allegedly punching Prichard in the face.
Later in the evening, the salon was packed with people conversing in several languages, including Vietnamese, Spanish, Portuguese and English.
"A lot of people are angry with us, but they are just stressed out with their own lives and taking it out on the immigrant people," Carmen Riveira, 28, a native of the Dominican Republic now living in Dorchester, told the Herald. "I pay my money to get my nails done. I can speak any language I want in here."
Another customer, Kristine DaRosa, 18, of Dorchester, said her family would be directly affected by the immigration-reform bill currently before Congress. One of her uncles is being deported to their native Cape Verde.
"All kinds of fights are going on because of this," said DaRosa. "People should just give everybody a chance."
Are any of the following statistics wrong?
"10 points from Los Angeles Times"
Illegal aliens do not pay taxes.
40% of all workers in L.A. County (L.A. County has 10 million people) are
working for cash and not paying taxes.
Illegal aliens rape and murder Americans without accountability.
95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops but 29% are on welfare
Illegal aliens bring Americans infectious hepatitis,
incurable tuberculosis, typhoid, cholera, mumps,
Chagas disease, leprosy, incurable Morgellons disease, and Dengue fever.
And of course, this may underestimate the problem, si?
What bothers a lot of people here on this forum are jerkoffs such as yourself who start making demands on the rest of us and attempt to justify your drivel with self righteous gutter garbage.
You are part of the problem.
maybe this is what really bothers you.
No. what bothers me is that you're obviously a fifth columnist in my country. And don't even dare call it your country. Your attitude is an affront to all people who have played by the rules and arrived here legally. Your people want the easy way. So do certain foreign governments. You are part of the problem. And a racist to boot. If I used a four letter word beginning with "S" to refer to you, would you approve? No, BECAUSE IT'S RACIST. But you have no problem spewing your hate at others.
No one sneaking into the country i-l-l-e-g-a-l-l-y was "allowed" to come here, racist troll; any more than a thief breaking into your own home against your will would legitimately be termed as having been "allowed" to do so.
WE HAVE ZOT!!

Oops! Sorry about the (unintentional) double posting there, folks! :)
Assimilation?
Lest you forget, the perps in the article we're discussing here are Hispanic and Black. I suspect that the "white people el norte" will sit back and watch the pop the popcorn.
Jim "accidentally" smacked him with a shoe! :)
"They woke the sleeping giant."
Yep, that's exactly what they did. I think the negative reaction all that flag waving had on the vast majority of America surprised the heck out of their leaders. Been seeing fewer of those flags being waved under our noses since then. But it's too late.
They got their MSM coverage all right, just like they were hoping for. We all SAW which flag was important to THEM, and its wasn't the stars and stripes. THESE flags were NOT being waved by desperate immigrants seeking the shining city on the hill. They were being waved by the invading hoardes. They thumbed their collective noses at ALL of us.
Ma and Pa America turned on their alphabet news and got a great big wake up call. Sure hope the giant didn't get woke up too late. The always tone deaf media might not have been so gleeful featuring those flag shots if they had known how America would react.

Are you in the very least bit familiar with Japanese immigration laws?
Right on the money. WE always knew the situaution. But formerly apolitical people, from both sides of the aisle, are now active and holding officials accountable. Watch this November. It's going to be interesting.
