No big surprise to those of us who have lived with that border problem. And thanks, Dubya, for adding gasoline to the fire with your Mexican truck agreement. Which will also compound the problem of border security, but since when do we expect government policy to make sense?

[spoosman]

Govt policy make sense? Ha! As if!

The school's administration later censored the article and apologized to the protesters, a number of whom are suspected to be illegal aliens themselves. At a public forum held by the school administration, at least one student admitted flatly that she was an illegal alien, but demanded "respect," and declared she had "rights."

Meanwhile, otherwise conservative talk-radio hosts Hewitt, Hannity, Medved, and Limbaugh remained in the tank for the colonistas...

Right alongside California's Governor Gray Davis.

It could not be immediately determined if any of the Mexican gang were illegal aliens.

I am shocked! Shocked!

Maybe the authorities should try asking them.

Smith, not having made the first punch, defended himself, and fought back. Smith, and at least one of the gang members, were suspended from the school because of the fight

In the end I bet Smith will be suspended and the others will be allowed to go. Somethin similar happened in Mississippi (I think) where black and hispanic kids attacked a white boy and put him in a coma. They were not punished. It just so happens the boy (interested in Conferdate history-but no racist) was verbally attacked y the principal who made him a target for the minorities.

Maybe the authorities should try asking them.

I think that would be good information to have. But we'll never find out from the 'authorities' because that would be 'insensitive' to ask. After all, we would not want people who are here illegally, engaging in illegal activity (attacking U.S. citizens), to feel bad. That might wound their self esteem.

?Que?

coming soon to a school near you.

This is a critical point. The lax position of the administration is an invitation for violence. I think Andrew Smith should sue the school district over this.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the heads up!

Ain't that the truth. Loyal toadies for the Party Line. At least we have Putnam back on the air in So Cal, saving us from a diet of pure neocon drivel.

[spoosman]

Como?

[Sabertooth]

I can see the ACLU on pins and needles over this....

First Ammendment rights of high school students vs. the rights of Mexicans to invade our country.

[PRND21]

...a gang of five, described as Mexicans...

Smith, and at least one of the gang members...

All Mexicans are gang members?
Why the racial tone to this "eyewitness account"?

[rockfish59]

hey ese'!
ees jes a matter of time, holmes!! sup? we gonna get you honkies! LA RAZAAAAaaaaaaaa!!!

the best thing white folk can do is arm themselves!!

[spoosman]

Is it not germaine to the issue that the attackers were described as Mexican? Yes, it is. Does the article say that all Mexicans are gang members? No, it does not.

When a group of five people move to attack an individual, that group can reasonably described as a gang.

Conservatism is not allowed in publik schools. Freedom of speech is in the hands of the lynch mob, if they don't like what you have to say, they'll kill you or come damn near close.

And they're "protected" people, they're better than citizens. They can attack with impunity.

But what can I say, if you want to shoot your mouth off, you're stupid NOT to be packing heat. Of course, the fascist administration would be watching him, so he should have had a friend follow him at a distance, with a bang-stick in his bag. Of course, it's sad when high school students have to act like CIA agents in Moscow.
