Berkeley won't impound cars for 30 days

Oakland Tribune ^ | 11/10/10 | Doug Oakley - Berkeley Voice

[SmithL]

Yeah, this is Beserkeley.

[samtheman]

This is your brain on Liberalism.

[fantom]

Why should anyone in Ca need a license ?

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Do you think if I moved to Berkeley and didn’t register my car they would give me the same favor? or maybe if I applied for welfare? or maybe if I demanded food stamps and a home and free medical insurance?

oh, I forgot. Wrong skin color and speak English.

[posterchild]

What if they are caught transporting Happy Meals into San Francisco?

[Hodar]

So, if I’m illegal, I get a perk that an American isn’t allowed?

What’s next? If an illegal knocks on your door; you have to move somewhere else, so he can move in?

[earlJam]

Maybe Arizona should take try a different method.

They should simply pay every illegal immigrant $1000 in cash to permanently relocate to Berkeley, California.

"Those people should not be afraid to drive without a license." . . .

Yeah, the people who should be afraid to drive at all should be responsible, tax-paying, legal citizens who have insurance.

"The first thing we had in mind is that there are a lot of people who need to drive to work, take their children to the hospital or to school," said Mario Ibarra, a member of the congregations.

all more stuff citizens get to pay for! good times...

"Those people should not be afraid to drive without a license."

Of course! Why should they need to obey the speed limit either? They're anxious to get home to their wonderful families and pet their cuddly cats.

And why should they need to obey any law? If they need to decapitate someone's head from their body, that's just how Mexican culture does things, we need to respect that.......

[Da Coyote]

Hey, in Denver, one needs not a license, registration, insurance, or even an ID card.

If you don’t speak English, your off free.

Thanks, Gov Ritter and newly elected idiot...er...fool...er...liberal...Hick-in-the-Looper.

[Gator113]

That would be so funny and in the short term, it might even be cost effective...

[Nevadan]

re: “What if they are caught transporting Happy Meals into San Francisco?”

LOL! That would be on par with a flux in the “space-time continuum.

Liberals admitting public transportation doesn't work! End the funding immediately.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Forget the car; impound the illegal!

"Those people should not be afraid to drive without a license." . . .

Anyone want to guess what happens if I try that?

[SpaceBar]

I suspect this has nothing to do with “sensitivity” towards illegals. More likely illegals facing mounting fees simply abandon their vehicles leaving the city with overflowing impoundment lots and holding the bag for the storage costs. It’s all about money.

[WOBBLY BOB]

That’s what state impound lot auctions are for.

Where's the San Anreas Fault when we need it.

“Those people should not be afraid to drive without a license.” . . .

Right!...And they shouldn’t be afraid when they plow into my car without insurance.
