Then the cops here in Arizona and so on will probably pull rank in the Feds and, I thinks quite a few Feds WOULD tell Obama and his cronies to go pound sand IMHO.

Can't read it clearly? How about now?

Rhymes With Right - We Will Hear Nothing About This Extreme And Violent Protester Sign

My boss sent me this link..im very sad and angry. - DREAM Act Portal Forum

I wonder why this hasn't made media headlines?
Because anyone with half a brain knows this guy is a plant spewing out the worst machinations of a tea party moron. No immigrant (legal or otherwise) I've ever known in my life has ever believed any such gibberish.

You haven't met all that many "immigrants". Many believe that there can be no immigration laws in the USA at least not for them. They are trying to kill border patrol agents -- many rock throwing incidents along the border -- they fully intend to kill those agents with their rocks.

The cartels actually reward those who kill police. It's far from jibberish, but some don't want to open their eyes to what is going on at the border.

It would have made headlines if the guy in the picture was from another ethic background, especially Arab, legally residing in the US, he would be have been considered a terrorist and a threat to the US and would have been arrested on the spot.

But hey, the guy in the picture is more than likely an illegal, a member of a protected class, who is forced to threaten the lives of Arizona police to get what he wants because he thinks America/our government "owes" him something, so that would exempt him from being viewed as a terrorist.

And as incredible as it may seem, a recent case where some gang kid was trying to kill a border agent and was shot, the family is demanding money and will likely be given it. The video show this pack of rabid dogs trying to surround the agent and kill him with large rocks -- but our government as usual is caving into Mexico's government which of course was outraged that this gang kid was shot and killed, even though Mexican agents would have shot him also.

Does the location really have anything to do with the message? Illegals are free to move around the US without fear of being arrested, free to demonstrate (travel from other states, such as Arizona, to California to join a demonstration), and apparently free to threaten police. Yet, I don't here you condemning the threat or is that just illegals exercising their right to freedom of speech and possibly it was just a poor choice of words as a result of their frustration from not getting what they perceive as "theirs"?

If Arabs publicly threatened to kill police, or citizens, or government agents, would that bother you, or do you think it is their "right" to freedom of speech?

Sadly, you are right. The so called protected class has been allowed to reduce this country to it's lowest terms. The powers that be are not going to do anything until there are riots in the streets.

The pic looks doctored to me. That said one individual hardly reflects the masses. Stereotyping abounds on this forum.
If we say whites are all rednecks because of a few does this make it true?
If we say blacks are all criminals because of a few does this make it true?
I would say hardly.
My wife is asian but my math skills are superior. The sterotype is that asians rule at math.
The protestor could have been a plant. We hear this every time a racist is photographed. I agree with the plant theory most of the time.
As for give us free. Well occupy wallstreet says the same crap.

It's really hard to take people seriously when they need to resort to old chain emails to enlist support.

I received another chain email days ago that looked familiar. It had been re-doctored to update it with more current information. The original email was 6 years old.

If anyone wanted to know if anyone believes everything they read?

I forgot to add: That's the LA Times building in the background.

The original chain email purports to be taken in Phoenix. So it started out as a lie from the opening sentence.
