Hmmmm. So all offenders are of hispanic background?!? That almost seems... unbelievable... And marijuana and meth? Where are the heroin, cocaine & opiate dealers? Something doesn't smell right here. Anti-immigrant action in sheep's clothing, perhaps?

Skeptical:

Sheep's clothing? Machine guns, felon with a firearm, dealing firearms, possession of unregistered firearm, possession of firearm with removed serial number, 50+ grams of meth--these are not broken tail lights.

We should applaud legal raids that result in the removal of dangerous people with dangerous weapons. Everyone--residents and migrants alike--are safer as a result of these types of actions. Hispanic criminals prey on Hispanic victims, just as Hmong criminals prey on Hmong victims, and so forth. I am not a Trump supporter, but some of his facts are partially right--there is gang activity in some Latin American and Asian migrant communities. We should want to protect everyone, which means that sometimes people with the same ethnicity as the community they are victimizing will be arrested.

Be skeptical, but then thank those who have helped protect us from things that we do no want in our communities, like machine guns.

With fines like that, they might pay for their prison hospitality. Let's make room for them by releasing those convicted of victimless crimes.

Chuck Bernstein:

Thank you for your intelligent response. I agree.

Victimless crimes??? I am assuming you are referring to drug dealers imprisoned SO unfairly. Tell that to the familys of the hopelessly addicted and those who died from overdoses...SMH

Great job taking these violent criminals off the streets. Lock em up!

laughing: Wow! You got 55 of your classmates to like you. What a leader!

And, Jack Hickey, NONE of your classmates like you! What a leader! :)

Well, Jack at least tried. He ran for governor, senator, congress, just about every office he could find until he found one he could sit in for a couple decades.

A leader!
