Gee, what do Ohio, Texas, Georgia, California and Illinois have in common?

When an invading people(Mexicans, Central Americans)take valuable property from the native population it is called a “SACK” not theft. See the “SACK” of Rome by the invading Goths in the 400’s A.D.

Sorry, every time I read about a copper thief being injured/killed in a theft, it was always a nonhispanic person. My friends had it done by nonhispanic deadbeat tenants.

Unless you just think U.S. people are always more incompetent.

Minnesota needs some color....even the smaller towns now are loaded with hispanic "immigrants" who work the poultry places....their whitebread demographic is gone forever.

A couple of years ago, while visiting wifey's kin in little Melrose, we were staying at the town's only motel.

A van fulla Mexican men pulled up, and the driver rented one room....I asked Patel if this was suspicious to him, and he just said, "It happens all the time" - this was around 9am, and by 5pm they were out and gone.

According to the map you posted, Ohio and Georgia have less in common with Texas, California, and Illinois than several other states do.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I always pictured the copper thieves as mainly white, 100% American, drug addicts.
