   I just hope this can be successful without escalating the race wars brought about by the identity politics making power plays at the expense of even more lives of we the people.

   We will see what we will see.

   OK, a good first step… BUT ““The fact is that Special Order 40 allows Los Angeles police officers to inquire about immigration status if a crime has been committed, and reinforces the effort to deport an illegal immigrant if a crime has been
   committed,” … - if someone IS there illegally a crime HAS been committed.

   How many lives will have to be lost before the LA City Council just repeals Special Order #40 altogether? Why did it have to take a victim’s family pleading with them to make a change? Why?

   I know it’s a baby step but it doesn’t nearly go far enough. Even if the LA City Council takes this step, would there still be enough enforcement? Wouldn’t the police complain that they still don’t have enough manpower to crack down on gangs and punt the problem over to the federal government? Yet, if they did it, they wouldn’t let ICE anywhere near these gang members.

   This council has a dodgy track record. I’ll believe it when I see it.

   So what? All this means is that Dennis Zine’s career is over. That’s if he’s lucky. This is Los Angeles and after this move, he’ll have a big fat target on his chest and he’ll be lucky to survive long enough to find a new career.

   Don’t expect John McCain to add him to the administration.

   Hopefully the black community will support him.

    It’s like turning around the Titanic…

    They didn’t turn it around. It sank. Then James Cameron made a crappy movie. He’s already made three crappy movies about LA: Terminator 1, 2 and 3. So I guess there’s no hope left.

    How many rapes, robberies, jobs lost, people moving, hospitals closing? I don’t think they care. To them this is war. It is about the conquest of America and the pre-eminence of La Raza.

    I’m still clueless as to why the black community has yet to declare war.

    Which black leader has spoke out about this?

    None!

    They remain silent on the invasion, guaranteeing the black community super minority status in the USA. Allowing them all the benefits that they are entitled as super minority.

    Until blacks nationwide unite on this issue of illegal immigration, it will never stop.

    “We can now take it one step further and say that if an individual is a known gang member and an illegal immigrant, that the LAPD has the responsibility and duty to turn the individual over to federal immigration officials.”

    ..so they can release them.

    Don’t get me wrong. Arnold had a few good one-liners. But how often can you watch a six-story fireball and call that entertainment?

    If you are out of the Identify Politics loop, how do you get heard? How do you get the establishment of care? Well you don’t, you can’t. The dilemma for black people in L.A. is quite serious now that it is a Latino town: are Hispanics honorary white people? If so, then the threat of violence may well be effective. It won’t take too many full-scale riots to get this law changed. Or are Hispanics fellow brothers of color? In which case, black people will be told to take a hike and they won’t do anything. And even if the current law is repealed, so what? No one, but no one, should expect immigrations status to suddenly be of interest to the cops, at least any cop who wants to keep his job, be promoted, etc.

    This is incredibly nasty stuff and it shows better than any other example where this country is heading. Everyone knows had this young man been white, no one would have cared. Oh sure, some white person somewhere might have written a letter. Like every molecule is trembling at that thought.

    For Identity Politics to work, there must be groups that don’t count. It’s the threat of social disruption, up to an including violence and/or the credible threat thereof that is the only thing that works politically. Does anyone, anywhere seriously worry about Jews or Asians rioting or causing acts of terror? Money, as in contributions, doesn’t matter much at all anymore.

    I am still clueless as to why we have Black (Afrocentric) communities, Italian Communities, White communities or any other sub-culture as anything more than a celebration of diversity and not as a reminder of differences.

    I would be happy to see a Crescent next to a Star of David next to a Cross all in celebration of our diversity as an American people without ANY of them being worth less or more.

    Unless we can re-identify ourselves as Americans first and celebrate our diverse cultures (NO SUB NEEDED) and our points of Unity rather than instigating division and angst, we are truly lost as a Nation.

    When you can go to Mexico as an illegal alien, buy property (Which even LEGAL aliens may not do currently) get a job or even something so seemingly simple as a driver’s license, then come talk to me about constitutional rights for non-citizens.

    If we can not bridge these gaps and find common grounds as Americans and a common enemy among those who seek to destroy the very foundations of our nation and our principles, than we are already lost.

    I recently lost a bet to a European because I could not get any backing for the American people to accept a challenge, thus my current destination teaching English in a foreign university and not heading back to the States. Even worse, I fear in my heart that there will soon be nothing left of the United States worth returning to.

    How about American, not American and Anti-American with a celebration of diversity and no subculture, no subsets and nobody better or worse than anyone lest their own personal actions prove otherwise? (Like blatantly seditious anti-American actions perhaps?)

    Ending my rant now and going for more coffee. Maybe I should switch to decaf?

    Surely you don’t expect el mayor villagroso, (sorry folks, my keyboard doesn’t capitalize people or orgs. that it knows I have no respect for, and it sometimes even deliberately misspells names…) to stand up against his former gang member buddies in la mecha, do you? I know a guy el mayor won’t even look in the eye because he knows all about villagroso’s radical and lawbreaking past…he’s afraid to spill the beans because he has a family!
