Ain't diversity grand?!
Did he use guns to kill people? If so, it probably didn’t have high cap mags, so it’s okay.
Mexicans should stop and think about why they prefer to name their schools after murduring thugs.
Vasquez Rocks!
does anything that happens in that banana Republic without bananas surprise anyone??
I can’t remember the last time(in the last few years) I heard about a school or Navy Ship being named after someone who WASN’T a “Revolutionary” (Read: Thug)
He took from the rich and gave to the poor?
Wow. Just like Soros and Buffett, but their money wasn’t offshore.
This is insanity - the man was a clod blooded killer.
It is either one or the other - either he is a revolutionary who killed people - or he was ‘framed’ and innocent of the killings - and therefore not much of a revolutionary.
Sort of like how the Arab world celebrates Hitler with one breath, while denying the Holocaust with the other. So why do they like Hitler?
I seem to remember a “Wagon Train” episode in which the characters meet up with this Vasquez bandito. I think there’s an old movie or two out there as well. Presented as a sort of romanticized good/bad guy, like Jesse James often was. I always figured in actual history, both were very likely real rotters.
Okay, why not name the school after Osama bin Laden then?
Yep. Quite a role model.

Allegedly, Vásquez seduced and impregnated his own niece. Either the girl’s family or Greek George’s wife’s family betrayed Vásquez to Los Angeles Sheriff William R. Rowland. Rowland sent a posse to the ranch and captured Vásquez on May 14, 1874. Greek George’s adobe was situated near the present day Melrose Place in West Hollywood. This was coincidentally very close to where the movie industry would, in a few decades, set up shop.[14]
Well, at least they didnt call it Che Guevarra Elementary........
One can watch the local newscasts for only a few mornings or evenings to conclude that a bandit and murderer is apparently already the “role model” for most of the youth in any part of Salinas.
“The history was written by mainstream whites,” he said.”
!Los gueros diablos Hombres keepin’ em down!
Let’s re-name every town in America `Chicago’ and every state ‘California.’
Then we all can become Eloi, at least until the Morlocks slaughter us all.
Why those Hispanics.....they are just natural republicans. The GOPe says so. We even got 30% of their vote/s
He was an individual who was also a "revolutionary". Rumor has it he was not OK with the prevailing system "oppression", either!
I remember in Charles County Marylkand when a new school was to be named Raphael Semmes.
Raphael Semmes was the Captain of the Confederate ship Alabama, and was hugely successful in his fight against the North. His ship was sunk under him and he returned to the south to be made an Admiral of what was left of the Confederate Navy.
The screams and cries from the left were awesome enough to remove Semmes name from that school.
WTF ping
He means like Timothy McVeigh.
Maybe Ramirez will rename a school, "Timothy McVeigh Elementary", just to show how "diverse" he is.
What a scumbag.
