Sheriff Arpaio plans to employ chain gang outside All-Star game

[^_^ 5,021]

With a national TV audience of millions expected for baseball's All-Star Game, Sheriff Joe Arpaio could not pass up the chance to promote two of his favorite topics: himself and his disdain for undocumented immigrants.

A chain gang should do the trick, Arpaio decided.

A group of inmates from the sheriff's holding area for undocumented immigrants, all of whom were convicted of DUI, will join American male and female chains of DUI offenders to send a message about the perils of drunken driving when they pick up trash outside Chase Field next week, Arpaio said.

...

Arpaio has sent this message before, placing DUI chain gangs along Glendale Avenue during Super Bowl XLII and unveiling a neon "vacancy" sign above the Tent City jail before Super Bowl XXX.

Humberto Garcia should be hand cuffed to the last man to really get a message out.

Sounds like the commonality of the chain gang is they are guilty of DUI, not their immigration status. But hey, don't let facts get in the way of 'OMG HE HATES BROWN PPLZ!!!' sensationalist BS.
