Vigilantes Move from the Border to the Neighborhood

[proud2BlibKansan]

January 14th, 2008

As if having self-appointed vigilantes “patrolling” the borders with guns weren’t bad enough, the thugs are now moving into our streets and neighborhoods. They’ve come to stalk people they believe might be here illegally. According to the Arizona Republic, Lynn Street, a member of a group calling itself Riders USA, showed up in Phoenix at a protest targeting day laborers while armed with a Smith and Wesson.

“We just want to get illegals out of here,” says Street. “I’m here to run them off. You turn the light on them and they scatter like roaches.”

Neighborhood groups are understandably concerned.

“They bring terror to the neighborhood,” said Keenan Strand, a business owner who heads the Northeast Phoenix Neighborhood Action Alliance. “The protestors, visibly armed with guns, have been verbally engaging anyone walking by that seems to look illegal or don’t seem supportive of them. These are residents, students, businesspeople, neighborhood and spiritual leaders.”

1. Get ready....

There is already well-deserved concern about major armed turf wars in American cities.

Those Mexicans will make the Crips and Bloods look like Girl Scouts.

The idiot goddamned vigilantes will never know what hit them when those dudes get fed up with their crap.

2. I am very familiar with the Hispanic gangs

Yes, you're right. They are very violent.

9. I dunno man, remember the Alamo...

I don't think this is a battle anyone should be rooting for...

3. They can stay the heck out of my neighborhood.

We have a wonderful community. We don't need their ilk here, scaring people or doing anything stupid.

4. Here's how we welcomed them here last night

They held their convention here this weekend.

5. That's the way!

That was totally awesome! I'd bet we could get something together like that here if they even tried to come here.

6. Mara Salvatrucha and their numerous derivitives will take them out someday.

MS-13 members have already been ordered to Arizona to target border guards and Minuteman Project volunteers.

Those dumb ass Minuteman are going to get their entire families killed. MS-13 are BRUTAL and NEVER give up on a target.

10. You're sick, my friend.

[Swamp Rat]

12. My health has nothing to do with this subject.

The Minutemen idiots are putting their families' lives at stake by marching armed through neighborhoods threatening strangers, in particular, Latino neighborhoods. Do you have any idea how Latino gangs operate?

¿Sabes cómo peligroso es este comportamiento?

[water]

13. They way you talk about them is very similar to the way that modern neo-Nazis talk about Nazis...

...with reserved pride.

On edit, I should respond:

Do you know how dangerous it is for gangs to operate? For both their members and individuals in surrounding areas?

[Swamp Rat]

14. LOL! Sieg heil!

Doesn't this make you feel proud?





Oooh! Yeah baby! Feels soooo good!



Sieg fucking HEIL, brother!

[water]

15. Nope. To me, any form of pride based on race or heritage is disgusting.

[Swamp Rat]

16. HAHA! Yeah, right.

Then this won't bother you: :D

[water]

17. Why are you posting that stuff?

Just because I objected to your support of Hispanic gangs does not mean I support white gangs. I don't support either (or any).

[Swamp Rat]

19. Where did I "support Hispanic gangs?"

Come on, show me the beef!

If you are going to accuse someone of something, you better gaddamn well be prepared to back it up.

Let's review:

1) You call me "sick."

2) You say I am like a Neo-Nazi

3) You acccuse me of supporting Hispanic gangs.

A word of advice, you will not last long here if you continue to post in this manner.

26. durp durp durp!... you still did not provide a shred of evidence that I "support Hispanic gangs."

In case you have not noticed, the pot has begun to boil. :D

[water]

28. I'll attempt an explaination, I suppose.

Similar to neo-Nazis, speak of them with a hint of "tough-guy" pride without outright support (and you called the MM dumbasses without insulting the murderous gangs).

[Swamp Rat]

29. So, calling the Minutemen dumb asses without insulting murderous gangs at the same time means

I support the latter?!? :wtf:

That's a Grand Canyon-sized leap of logic.




FYI: I dislike ALL gangs, including the Minutemen thugs.

[water]

30. No, it was your post in its entirety. Well, do you oppose them?

[Swamp Rat]

31. Instead, why don't you just read what I wrote?

The world would be a better place. :)

[water]

34. I clearly have read it. Do you oppose them?

[Richard Steele]

21. I find that more than slightly difficult to believe. nm

[Swamp Rat]

23. A live one!

:D

[Richard Steele]

24. Not for much longer...

I think that last cup of coffee is finally wearing off,
so I'm gonna try to get to sleep (again).

Cya! :hi:

[Swamp Rat]

27. Nite nite!

:hi:

Me too. I'm already bored. :D

[proud2BlibKansan]

33. LOL!!

:rofl:

[blondeatlast]

32. So they differ from the Minutemen how? Bsides being in much better shape? nt

[water]

35. The Minute Men don't go around killing people, destorying property and...

... in many cases, truly terrorizing blacks.

I find it odd that many people here have more hatred for businessmen than gang members!

[citizen snips]

7. that is taking it too far

border security should stay at the border

[PsN2Wind]

8. Some posts here seem to be supportive of

Mexican gangs. In Tucson they seem to be targeting other gang members rather than Minutemen but the Minutemen aren't trying to take their drug turf. Let's hear it for the gangbangers, they're so much better than the Minutemen.

11. Nothing will staunch the flow of illegal immigrants

until businesses stop hiring them.
Republicans, for example, tacitly support illegal immigration because they like the cheap labor.

18. White Supremacists always look on the poor and weak to kill and torture.

That is why they have their own place in hell.

[Swamp Rat]

20. Hell is getting overcrowded, but there will always be spaces open for those types.

:hi:

22. Hi Swamp Rat.

I'm just thankful I got a place farther up the chain, I hear Bush and his crew will fill up the lower level all by their lonesome. And you know hell, the slums of the abyss. :evilgrin:
