Would you care more or less if a Mexican raped your wife and Mother, as opposed to a Swede?

[Joe Hadenuf]

Reeking of alcohol, Medina told an officer he had drunk seven beers that night and had had nothing to eat since breakfast.

At least he's honest.

I wonder if you'd be saying the same thing, if he was testifying in a case where he killed your daughter or son, while driving drunk, while they were displaying enlarged photographs the brutally busted up, lifeless body of your family member?

Would you care more or less if a Mexican raped your wife and Mother, as opposed to a Swede?

But that's not this issue or the subject of the thread, is it PRND21.

Racebaiting is an ugly habit.

Didn't you notice the AM already deleted one of your personal attack posts on this thread?

To get out of the hole, quit digging.

See your post 21, hypocrite.

[It's me]

How DARE you call me a liar!
Why the heck would I lie about that?
Why would I "lie to make friends"??!!

Besides, I'm new here; cut me some slack.

Spoken like an former Freeper with a new screen name.

Way to project.

That's the MO of many here. Hispanic = Illegal

"Some advocates for Austin's Latino immigrants say many migrants arrive unfamiliar with U.S. laws on drinking and driving. "

Migrants eh? How P.C., no agenda in that language.

[PRND21]

Read the article you, too, are projecting.

"They have expressed surprise about the stricter laws in the U.S.," Long said. One of the problems is that people without immigration documents cannot get a driver's license, said Angeles Gomez, a spokeswoman for the Mexican Consulate in Austin. "They do not know the rules," Gomez said, "and this causes a vicious cycle." Dangerous choices Austin's statistics are not unique. In California, 48 percent of drunken driving arrests in 2001 were of Latino men, according to that state's Department of Motor Vehicles."

Projecting Senore? Why would they care about driving "rules" when they broke the law entering the country in the first place to inflict their aggressive illegal presence on the legal, legitimate, citizen with their drunken driving? It's just another example of their aggressive, we are taking over, behaviour that government refuses to protect citizens from. Stick that in your projector.

More projection. And you're quoting the guess of Mr. Gomez, no less!
