This AP story was already posted here a few days ago under the title "Police See Possible Hate Crime in Calif."

It appears in about sixty other newspapers under the same or a very similar title.

The AZCentral story is the same as all of the others, with the exception of the headline, which has been changed to include the fact that they were "immigrants."

As I discussed here, there are two main problems with the AP report:

1. There are many other possible motives besides it being a hate crime. Why weren't those possibilities highlighted?

2. The AP article morphs from a crime report into a piece designed to get us to give driver's licenses to illegal aliens.

Apparently, AZCentral didn't think the original AP report was biased enough, and it had to come up with an even more inflammatory headline.

Please contact AZCentral using the following addresses and politely suggest they stop publishing AgitProp from the AP and refrain from making the AP's AgitProp even more inflammatory.

These race-baiting liberals make me nauseous.

[kaboom]

Heck, I'm just amazed that they actually used the words "illegal" and "immigrant" together.

[Houmatt]

So it's only a hate crime as long as it is committed by a white person.

Remarkable.

"She was not able to get a license, so then they had to walk. And this happened."

So pathetically opportunistic, its funny.

[Mr Spock]

I really don't give a rats ass who it was, white guy, black guy, whatever. A horrible crime was committed and the killer should be brought to justice; end of story. I'm not going to read too much into how the newspaper worded the story. I have no need to go on the defensive like some of you guys here. Two innocent people were murdered. Show some compassion tough guys.

She was not able to get a license, so then they had to walk. And this happened."


Sorry. One is not related to the other. Sorry they were murdered by someone of any color (who described the attacker as white? There was a witness?), but ILLEGAL ALIENS DO NOT NEED A LICENSE!

OR AMNESTY

OR MEDICAL

OR FOOD STAMPS

OR WELFARE

Every time this article is posted, I get annoyed. If the attacker had been seen to be a black man, would the "hate" crime aspect had been mentioned? It would have been logical to do so as the illegal criminal Mexicans are holding jobs that might have gone to blacks.

I am surprised the author did not hypothesize that the two criminals were killed by "crazed, right-wing, Christian racists..." Of course, the "armed with illegal tree branches" might have detracted. My bet is that a jealous, rejected suitor killed the younger in a fit of passion and got the older woman because she was there. If true, no revision will ever be published.

Because the victims were illegal immigrants, they could not have obtained driver's licenses even if they could afford to buy a car.

Let me get this straight: they don't fear the INS, but they would never cross the DMV? Yeah, we'll live and work illegally, but we won't drive illegally?

[GSWarrior]

There's no such thing as a hate crime.

No, thanks. The article was far from a blight upon the nation.

Supposedly we're never supposed to mention the races and nationalities of those involved, nor their legal status, nor how the story relates to current events and issues which are in the minds of Californians?

Supposedly to satisfy the prurient interests of the patriotically-correct© readers, the storyline should have read: "Homeless white man, a former busboy who lost his job 15 years ago to an illegal immigrant for less money, a victim of Reagan's immigration and homeless policies, having been betrayed by the 'conservative' leader, George W. Bush, and seeing the nation betrayed to a certain doom, lashed out in frustration and anger at a couple of illegal invading criminals ..."
