Nah! They're just robbing the convenience stores that decent, lawbreaking American crooks won't rob.
I tellya, everywhere has convenience stores knocked over, but I grew up some in Texas, and there, it seems worst than the national norm, much more dangerous and that's why the death penalty is carried out frequently in that state. I just don't get it.
So, if anyone wishes to answer my question; why does Texas have a very long term problem with this kind of violence?
Gosh, you reckon that committing one crime (illegal entry in the usa) makes them less likely to committ another? Dunno about Texas, but here in Gwinnett county GA on those rare occasions when the police get tired of running speed traps, get off their swaggering donut sucking a$$es, and actually arrest criminals, and those even rarer occiasions when the media is forced to acknowledge the race/origin of the criminals, Hispanic criminals are overwhelmingly in this country illegally. Of course, this simply may represent the same proportion of all hispanics who are in the country illegally here.
For a while this county had the honor of leading the country in home invasion robberies (Hispanic gang - arrested due to outstanding police work - that is to say a neighbor saw what was going on and phoned them. of course they got there late, but did manage to track down the criminals) 7 out of 8 arrested were illegal. The police in Gainsville managed to arrest 12 Hispanic gang bangers in Gainsville again all but one in the country illegally. But, like I said, this may reflect the unknown that somewhere between 7/8ths and 11/12ths of the hispanics in Gwinnett county are in the US illegally. wouldn't surprise me considering Bush's take on immigration.
Maybe you overgeneralized.
Great nonsequitor.
Unfortunately, that culture's attitude toward women tends to be rather deplorable.
I lived in Snellville from '87-'91. A really great place with a small town feel, then. It's hard to believe the news coming out of South Gwinnett now.
As an aside, nothing made me prouder than seeing the Korean shop owners on top of their buildings w/ rifles during the LA riots.
Norcross, Doraville, Dalton, Chamblee, Gainsville - these are war zones, and we ain't wining.
Your initial ascertain was, indeed.
Gwinnett county GA has gone from less than 2% hispanic ten years ago to approximately 50% now. The crime rate has soared; the taxes have gone up to pay for the endless demands for welare housing and health care; the county school board is the largest employer in the county (the school closest to me is 55% hispanic, and few of the kids and none of the parents were born in the USA; we lead the country in home invasion robberies. If one of them hits your car, you can forget about insurance because they don't have any. Mostly they take off, and if the lazy ass cops manage to catch them, by the time the trial rolls around they're long gone either to some other area or back to whatever third world pest hole they come from originally. You can't tell who they are, because most of them have phony ID. Drug trafficing is up about 600% over the last decade etc.
The fact of the matter is that a large fraction of the hispanics here are here illegally (Kind of makes you wonder why they hang out in the Home Depot parking lot looking for cash day jobs if they have legal residency doesn't it - well maybe it doesn't make you wonder, since you've got some sort of bs in your mind about legal vs illegal)
But who gives a crap legal or illegal they sh!t where they ate back south of the border and they're proceding to do the same thing here.
