You must think your eye rolling is cute.

Armedanddangerous is a reporter for a local newspaper where this accident happened. He is closely associated with the local law enforcement, and was on the scene covering the story, so chill out, he will likely be the source.

Look. You just can't believe what everyone posts or that folks are who they say they are (unless you like to see a host around the sun). That would make FR little more than a rumor mill.

I was not attempting to besmirch the character or reputation of armedanddangerous. I think it is the duty of every responsible FReeper to ask for a source. And I did so respectfully in view of armedanddangerous' sign-up date.

Sadly, there hardly seems to be the need or even a desire for sources when the person in the story has a Hispanic last name. Everyone is eager and happy to assume that they're illegal Mexicans.

And as I said before, I look forward to seeing the follow-up post from armedanddangerous providing such source.

Oh! And my eye-rolling is very cute. I'll show ya sometime if we ever meet in RL. :-P

They're danged cute. I've seen 'em.

But there's no need to tell her to "chill out." She asks a valid question. There's enough hysteria over the whole immigration issue. And there's a certain segment of FReepers who will fan the flames on this issue without ever considering the facts.

We've seen it happen over and over.

That's all I'm sayin'.
