boy kidnapped during robbery

[Amby 490]

LAS VEGAS — Police have issued an Amber Alert in Nevada in the search for a 6-year-old boy who investigators say was kidnapped from a Las Vegas home by at least two would-be robbers.

At least two Hispanic men identified themselves as police officers tried to gain entry about 7:30 a.m. at a home several miles northeast of downtown, according to authorities.

The men allegedly demanded money and tied up the boy's mother and her boyfriend before abducting the child.

The boy has been identified as Cole Puffinburger by the state's Amber Alert unit.

Cole is described as 3 feet, 11 inches tall, weighing 48 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes.

He was last seen wearing a black shirt, a black zip-up jacket, blue jeans and white shoes.

I kinda think Aficionado would be wise to show his true colors in a not-so-safe environment where there are minorities. I estimate his brave nature would quickly break down, or something much more favorable.

Had the residents kept loaded and ready-to-use firearms at the ready and shot at the intruders, we might have had a much better outcome.

I'm for certain kinds of socialism - like issuing handguns to all residents and providing the training in how to use them.

By 1999, Hispanics accounted for 47% of all gang members

Illegal immigration

One of the concerns of increased illegal immigration is gang related activity - as proved by programs such as Operation Community Shield, which has detained over fourteen hundred illegal immigrant gang members.[25] MS13 publicly declared that it targets the Minutemen, civilians who take it upon themselves to control the border, to "teach them a lesson",[26] possibly due to their smuggling of various Central/South Americans (mostly other gang members), drugs, and weapons across the border.[27] A confidential California Department of Justice study reported in 1995 that 60 percent of the twenty thousand member 18th Street Gang in California is illegal.[28] Barbara and David P. Mikkelson, authors of Snopes, state that 18th Street likely has the highest membership rate of the Latino gangs in California the gang is mostly made up of illegal immigrants.[29]

I have come to the conclusion that BY simply doesn't understand/is not familiar with racism. The other possibility is that he believes that the law abiding members of any non caucasion population should allow the police into every aspect of their lives as the acceptable price for presumably stamping out crime, which is presumably mostly perpetrated by non caucasion people - or something.

Oh no, he did question me as to why I don't want the government invading my privacy for no reason at all and listening in to every call I make, and some nonsense about hiding things. It's very weird how they're don't like government doing things, yet they somehow are convinced the government listening to everyone's phone calls and ignoring the Constitution is a-ok. Consistent, they are not.

[Peikko 1,575]

Yes, but I think what he means is that caucasions have earned the privelage of privacy by dint of their not being the main perpetrators of crime. You see, he's not racist, just logical. Most crime is committed by non caucasions, so if the non caucasions will not turn the criminals from their communities in, then they only have themselves to blame if they lose privacy and the presumption of innocence.

It's fairly consistant, but it is a tad insane.

Actually this thread was about Hispanic kidnappers. Nothing to do with communication, the government, people listening in or any other dribble.

[Peikko 1,575]

I think you mean drivel. While they are synonyms, only drivel means idiotic talk.

No I meant in terms of saliva coming out of a mouth. Pointless and baby like.

[Peikko 1,575]

Riggggggggggggght, got it.

Needless to say, the article isn't about 'hispanic' kdnappers, it's about one particular kidnapping case. Therefore, one has to ask, why you felt the need to highlight the fact that the perpetrators were hispanic and add the "I see..." You were either baiting, bad, or suggesting that somehow hispanics were more prone to this type of criminal activity than other races also bad. Which was it?
