Approximately fifty marchers came out in support of a plan by head of the Cochise County Democratic Party Jim Cooper to create a citizen's panel to review Border Patrol assaults on illegal immigrants.

The marchers gathered in Douglas Saturday morning to honor Ricardo Olivares Martinez, a 22-year-old immigrant who was killed by a U.S. Border Patrol agent on June 5th.

Warning! Dorks at work...

Ping!

Out of curiosity, any bio on this Cooper mutt?

[Carry_Okie]

A local panel reviews procedures of the Federal government?

Well while they're at it, perhaps ranchers and miners should have such investigative powers over BLM enforcement, forest communities over the USFS or the FWS, and farmers and manufacturers over the EPA.

Fifty is all he could bring in??? Doesn't sound like the "citizens" are too interested in having a citizen's panel.

Click for crackpot Cooper droppings.

Dorks, No it sounds to me more like America bashing Marxists to me! Especially when el supremo don Raoul Grijalva de Me.Ch.A Azatlan, is mentioned.

[JackelopeBreeder]

Reputedly a loudmouthed blowhard who lives somewhere up by Benson. In other words, 50 miles north of the border so he doesn't have hundreds of illegals coming through his yard every night.

I am sure that is a good idea, el supremo don Raoul Grijalva de Me.Ch.A Azatlan would go into a screaming, slobbering temper tantrum over that.

I wonder...maybe the Citizens Review Board should be formed immediately. Their first order of business should be to look into the circumstances of the eight or nine wildfires we've had here locally.

Starting with the Ash Fire.

[Tancredo Fan]

If a citizens review board were initiated to investigate the wildfire situation maybe something would quickly get done to stop the invasion once and for all. If illegals are linked to the disastrous Summerhaven - Mount Lemmon fire, heads should be made to roll at the highest levels on government in Washington. Remember, a dead fish rots from the head.

Statement #1: "You wouldn't have a violent police shooting in Tucson without a review. You would know the officer's name, if the officer had been suspended, everything," Cooper said. "But here, it's all secret. They don't tell us the victim's name, the officer's name. Nothing."

Statement #2: The marchers gathered in Douglas Saturday morning to honor Ricardo Olivares Martinez, a 22-year-old immigrant who was killed by a U.S. Border Patrol agent on June 5th."

Does anybody really give this guy any sort of credibility?

[grania]

"His death is one more in a series resulting from our government's border policies," said Cooper, who is a member of several immigrants rights groups and maintains water stations for illegal immigrants for Humane Borders.

If the groups supporting this invasion ("illegal immigrant" is an oxymoron and an insult to all US citizens) wouldn't imply that the borders are "Humane" and provide water stations for those who come here illegally, these deaths wouldn't occur.

Has it ever occurred to these traitors that it's their policies that are causing the deaths?

[Tancredo Fan]

Jim Cooper and his knuckle-dragging Marxist pests went to honor some Mexican invader who was throwing rocks at a Border Patrol agent.

This is what happens when rocks connect with the heads of Border Patrol agents:

I'm surprised Rep. Raul "El Cerdo Loco" Grijalva wasn't down there in Agua Prieta with this bunch of traitors.

[texastoo]

They call themselves a 'review board". They sound more like a vigilante group to me.

Approximately fifty marchers came out in support of a plan by head of the Cochise County Democratic Party Jim Cooper to create a citizen's panel make that a "Peoples Kangaroo Court" to review Border Patrol assaults on illegal immigrants.

to operate under Napoleonic Law Guilty until proven innocent. Oh, Yeah, the accused has 20 minutes to put his pea together before summary judgement is passed and execution is carried out.

Democratic Party Citizen's Review Panel;....hmmmmpf indeed!
