I know all about East Palo Alto. It's mostly Hispanic now, followed by Blacks. I'm not into just pre-judging people by their names (or ethnicity, or any other superficial trait). People have a right to self defense, period. Take away their natural right to self-defense, and you take away their humanity. I know many on FR will disagree, but IMHO FR has become (over?)populated with people who aren't so much conservative as they are reactionaries. And the title was dragged over verbatim from how it is posted at that other conservative EBB...
EPA is mostly hispanic, then islanders, then blacks now. I try not to drive through after dark since they like to shoot at passing cars... Or from passing cars. Still you gotta get off/to the bridge sometimes.
"I'm not into just pre-judging people by their names (or ethnicity, or any other superficial trait."So you claim - even though your post title had GESTAPO ALERT added - which, even if that was part of the original post you pulled, you posted without any comment, disclaimer or opinion. Therefore, one can only assume that this is your own opinion of that matter - even without knowing the details of the operation. Thus, I would have to say that your criticism of "reactionaries" applies to yourself in this case and that you did indeed "pre-judge" someone by superficial attributes.
