    After searching and searching for any news about "actual cases of immigrant rights' protesters burning businesses and cars" over the weekend, all I could find was this:

    Sounds like a bunch of anarchist losers just used it as an excuse to break some windows. I'm sure Jimi Haynes, a 24-year-old transient and parolee from Fresno County, was really concerned about immigration laws in the state of Arizona...

    thumbs,

    I haven't even seen a news story about such violence, I am not saying that you need to provide video or audio proof of such violence, but an actual news article talking about it would be nice. That way, we can be discussing facts rather than conjecture.

    That's what I thought while reading all the condemnations of the Tea Party for not addressing alleged racial epithets that no one could prove were made by Tea Partiers. I just figured turnabout is fair play.

    Wow, Thumbs. A Basso type thread.

    So I guess all your Hispanic relatives always had immigrant visas or would never have come if it had been required back in their day.

    BTW I can understand your defensiveness about the Tea Party despite alleged claims you make of a few of your neighbros in it.

    PHOENIX – Fire crews battled a blaze that broke out at a Phoenix business early Sunday.

    Phoenix Fire Department Captain Dorian Jackson said firefighters responded to the R and R Printing paper company near 24th Street and Broadway Road around 12 a.m.

    Jackson said that shortly after venting the roof, the crews were being "hammered with smoke".

    The fire was reportedly out by 1:45 a.m.

    The cause of the blaze is unknown, but no injuries were reported during the incident.

    --------------------
    So wait... a paper company catches fire at midnight and the cause of the blaze is unknown... how is this related to the protestors?

    None of my very extended family is illegal, nor do I know of any illegality through at least six generations (starting with my father). Mom's side doesn't count unless you go back four generations to an Alabama migration. I imagine if you go back far enough, you would have to show papers as to why you are not illegal.

    One fallacy is your argument: I am Hispanic.

    We're supposed to be upset by a story reported by a local Phoenix affiliate that doesn't mention-

    Have you stopped taking your meds?

    I'm worried you're so proud of that embarrassing pile of dung.

    Did you even read the link you posted? What is this? Am I taking crazy pills??

    I think he's still clinging for dear life to the idea that the 'racial epithet' event didn't happen.

    Thanks for reminding me. I'm an hour late for my insulin injection.
