A funny thing happened to a pro-illegal immigrant activist this week in Dallas, Texas. The activist, a League of United Latin American Citizens representative named Jesse Diaz, was carjacked.
Obviously there’s nothing funny about someone sticking a gun in another person’s face and stealing his car. This isn’t funny as in hardy-har-har. And everyone is relieved that Mr. Diaz wasn’t hurt by the punk who threatened his life and stole his vehicle in broad daylight.
But the amusing part of this crime is what happened afterward.
It seems that Mr. Diaz is plenty steamed that it took the Dallas Police Department a long time to respond to his repeated 911 calls. He told the local NBC-TV affiliate in Dallas, “I always thought that the police would arrive a lot sooner than the 30 minutes it took them to arrive.”
Internal investigations, numerous press conferences, and the inevitable series of picketers and protesters are certain to follow. It will just be a matter of time before Mr. Diaz tries to convince the world that the Dallas Police Department doesn’t really care about a well-known Hispanic illegal immigrant advocate being robbed at gunpoint.
But his angst is misplaced. After all, the newly-elected mayor of Dallas, Tom Leppert, has promised to open a taxpayer-funded immigration office. According to the Dallas Morning News, this office would help immigrants – both legal and illegal – “assimilate” into the city and North Texas region.
Wow. An office funded by hard-working taxpayers which would teach illegals everything they need to know about assimilation, perhaps like obtaining free health care, snagging a job, or placing their children into Dallas-area public schools.
Maybe this will start a trend all over the country. Cities like Dallas and Los Angeles and New York could open up government offices that will help kidnappers “assimilate” into a nice, productive life. Child rapists could get counseling on where the maximum amount of kids congregates. Burglars could go downtown to the “Burglary Assimilation Office” and find out which homeowners are on their summer vacations.
And the illegal immigration insanity continues.
Before Mr. Diaz gets all worked up in demanding expensive investigations into why it took the police 23 minutes to arrive at his crime scene, I can offer a pretty simple explanation. You see, Dallas has emerged as one of the most dangerous cities in America. And the 800-pound gorilla in the room is the knowledge that much of this crime is being committed by illegal immigrants.
| "..Diaz was in his ’92 Mercedes outside the rental home he manages in Southeast Dallas (carjacked in the 10300 block of New Bedford Drive) when he said the culprit’s gun misfired." “I felt the gun behind me and I heard a click,” he said. “That's what startled me and I turned. I saw that person holding a gun.” Diaz exited his vehicle and handed his keys to the culprit. “Your heart is beating and you say, 'Is this going to be the end of my life?'" he said. “Instead of my wife cooking dinner for me, is she going to be preparing for my funeral?” Diaz said he called 911 four times before the police arrived. Dallas police Lt. Vernon Hale said they are investigating the slow response time that Diaz claimed. “It'd be a higher priority call, certainly that wouldn't control the travel time,” he said. “It only took six minutes for the dispatcher to dispatch the call so the travel time is what the debate is about.” A police spokesman said the dispatch logs indicated that officers arrived at the scene 17 minutes after being sent -- 23 minutes after the initial call. Diaz said that’s still too long for a priority call. Hale said investigators are making progress in the case as the car was recovered and they have begun questioning people. “Someone did identify several suspects jumping out of the car,” he said. “We don't know who they are, but we have picked up someone.” -NBC5i |
Call for a pizza, call for an ambulance and call for the police. See who shows up first.
Jesus said that if a thief demands your money you should give it to him and your cloak.
So give up that car already, it is the compassionate thing to do.
I am not decrying the Christian approach, I’m saying that it is a difficult standard to meet. The Socialist Left thinks they can trip up America by selectively citing biblical ideas. I want to see if they would care to be more consistent.
“...the gun misfired...”
Not likely. What is much more likely is that the gun didn’t have any ammunition in it. That way if the gun ‘fails to misfire’ the perp hasn’t comitted murder instead of hijacking.
I know we’re all hoping that the catch the illegal that did this. We’re with ya, Diaz! :^)
I detect sarcasm.
*chuckle*
QUINN’S FIRST LAW: Liberalism always generates the exact opposite of its stated intent.
| "During my many years of research on crime in Dallas, I have analyzed the demographics of those groups who commit the most crime. The research revealed that Hispanics, especially "illegal" Hispanics, commit a much higher and disproportinate percentage of the crime than the population in general. It is no coincidence that Dallas, San Antonio, Houston and Phoenix rate #1 thru #4, respectively, in crime per capita among the major cities. All these cities have high numbers of "illegals".--TOM TANCREDO on Dallas Crime. |
Its not hard to understand an “illegal’s” perception that he’s sly enough to not get caught by LaMigra or the police for being here illegally, the “illegal” assumes he can rape, car-jack or hold up the 7-11 and won’t get caught. AND IS PROBABLY CORRECT in that assumption.
Please note that in an effort to be a comassionate conservative I did not call this illegal a WETBACK!!
Wouldn't a failure to misfire result in a succesful discharge?
27. THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THIS SHOW. [Quinn and Rose Show]
heh heh!
That’s right, and a carjacking would have been a killing. My point is that the perp likely had an unloaded gun for this crime. Of course I may be giving the perp way too much credit.....
This is the worst news I’ve read all day.
