Let's face it..The real culprits here are the wacky left, inciting racial and ethnic flames...You know, the thing that keeps the leftist whackos occupied and employed.

I will say once again, that the real race/ethnic dividers are the left...This is their living, their existence...Harmony would destroy their existence.

And the self appointed Hispanic leaders (who really have very little support in the Hispanic community), are among the worst. Their lack of real political/social knowledge is the reason for their divisive actions.

All the "legal" populace here wants is a legal and fair solution that resolves this problem..And that is simply that...

Demonstrations like this works against that frame of mind, and makes the rest of us think "Maybe we're making a mistake with these people, and this is their ways...just like in their own countries - social disorder and riots"

They're shooting themselves in the foot..

Terrible comparison. Krystal Nachen involved vandalizing businesses - did it not? Private property was destroyed. The demonstration being discussed in this thread was an act. Nobody was hurt.

Your tune would change drastically if there weren't expressing themselves about something you disagreed with.

I think I can speak for myself, thank you very much. You've repeatedly made personal comments about me, and it needs to stop.

And it shouldn't be. Right? Freedom of speech was always meant to be selective. Isn't that something you've always preached? I guess they have less rights as individuals than Anwar Al-Awlaki who you vehemently defended in the other thread. How exactly do you manage to decide when you do, and when you don't? Curious minds would like to know.

Pardon me but what on earth are you talking about? It's a pretty clear fact that if the subject were different and the topic happened to be something you supported you wouldn't be so supportive of these kids expressing their feelings through a show of violence.

Nobody is speaking for you, it's called a conversation hence the discussion forum we are on right now.

It was an act. If it was a serious threat, then yes, it should be investigated, but freedom of expression is protected to a large extent in this country, and I fully support it, whether it's on the left or the right.

Sure. Tell that to the cop killed by Mexicans a day after the passage of the bill.

What was all that about boycotting Arizona buisnesses? They might as well have "broken thier windows" and made it an official Krystal Nachen.

It is just a matter of time before the Hispanics turn violent. Will you support them then? I think that it will be too late. Liberalism is killing all of us. Unfortunately, we who know better are the recipients of its misguided "policy" as equally as those who implement its lunacy in a quest for "social justice".

It is just a matter of time before common sense prevails and the illegals are sent home, as they are bleeding the border states dry. These states have awakened and come to thier senses. Liberalism, in its ultimate quest for self anihilation, of course opposes the efforts of Arizona to preserve their economy and thier sovereignty. I would expect nothing less of fascists, who are eager to impose thier will on others.

Sure. Try having someone arrested for boycotting a business. To say that a boycott is the same as vandalizing someone's property is just ridiculous.
