I didn't do it.

If a FReeper did it, you have my understanding and compassion on a jury.

[Doc Savage]

I did it. It was a helluva drive, but worth it!

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

I thought illegal immigration was the hate crime?

[Ingtar]

My bet is on the “Latino advocate” who found them.

“Whether the act is technically a hate crime depends on whether there was hate in the mind of those who did it. Mountain View police say they are not sure, and have suspended an investigation into the case due to lack of evidence.”

How do the cops know “No More Aliens” didn’t mean this:

Whether the act is technically a hate crime depends on whether there was hate in the mind of those who did it.

At last, someone has defined what a hate crime is.

Now, if we only had some "official" mind readers........

[mirkwood]

Is this in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? Then you speak english, and you better read english if you would like to live here.

[BGHater]

Nevermind, I did it.

It's "illegal entry", not "illegal immigration". You have to have a visa to be an immigrant.

The only hate crime would be someone looking down his nose at Americans and their laws and saying "We don't need no stinking visas".

Although it's not nice to steal someone's signs, they were put to better use.

I have Puerto Rican heritage and I don’t feel in the least offended.

I could probably use that...

"There is hatred out there and we should have zero tolerance for that," Garcia said.

Garcia also expressed that if those Spanish-speakers who needed the signs were here illegally and wanted to enroll their children, school officials were extremely tolerant and they should do so without fear of being reported for breaking the law.

"No More Aliens"

Sorry, ET. No exceptions.

[Frantzie]

Meanwhile all the Latino groups like La Raza (The Race), Maldef, LuLac can engage in their racism and other shakedowns.

“It depends what the suspect was thinking at the time. We are trying to keep an open mind,”

An open mind? What’s ‘open’ about your belief in THOUGHT CRIMES.

[pennyfarmer]

Freak Show quotes of the day:

“We are trying to keep an open mind,” Bosel said.”

Open mind, my behind.

“”We are going to be vigilant about people who steal,” Ghysels said.”

REALLY??? What about the trash that is stealing through illegal imigaration??

“”There is hatred out there and we should have zero tolerance for that,” Garcia said.”

I agree, those that hate the USA should find themselves on the road to the rat hole from which they came.

“”He was trying to intimidate people with his camera,” she said.”

Intimidation?? With his camera?? What about the intimidation that the Latino community heaps on their gracious hosts here in the USA. In many cases it is a community based in violence and drugs.

Check out the reader comments at the bottom of the article. There’s the real story.

[wastedyears]

This can get very dangerous.

[nufsed]

My fav: So next there will be “dislike crimes,” “mild annoyance crimes,” and “unpleasant attitude crimes.”

[TADSLOS]

lol.
