Add the LAPD officers and supervisors (demoted for defending themselves - with harmless rubber bullets - from rock-and-bottle-throwing invaders at a rally where they all should have been arrested and deported) to the long list of martyrs and political prisoners (Ramos, Compeán, Hernandez, Sipe, Brugman, Corbett, Warden...) of the open borders traitors.
It was unsurprising that LA Mayor Antonio Villaragosa sided completely with the illegals, communists, rioters, anarchists, Hispanic racists, and the like in MacArthur Park - and totally against the brave civil servants who risked life and limb protecting the Mayor's consitutents from this riff-raff. After all, that's his background. The various demotions and the like were actually a comparatively light abomination compared to what heroes like Ramos and Corbett are up against just for being heroes.
What did surprise me was a look at Black Entertainment Television's (BET) website. As blacks, as a group, suffer the most from the illegals invasion (and as they for the most part realize this, even though they incongruously continue to vote for those seeking to intensify this invasion), one would think that there would some element of expression sympathetic to the true victims of open borders.
I'll give you one example of how wrong this assumption would be. The lead posting on the BET site invites web surfers to express their opinions on the demotions. The available choices were (a) they were justified, and (b) they were not strong enough - that the officers and officials should have been fired. No chance to opine that they should not have been punished (or, as I would argue, they should have received commendations).
And a glance at the comments at the site showed that this was no oversight. These (mostly indecent) opinions mostly read like something out of a '60's Black Panther-Weather Underground lovefest. (Actually, speaking of one who's lived through both periods, the '60's were tame compared to the radicalism that passes for mainstream today in the double oughts.)
Listening to Roger Hedgecock this evening, I was flabbergasted at his report on the state of the city of angels. It seems the Mayor hosted a symposium at City Hall on the MacArthur Park incident. Present and speaking, according to Hedgecock, were a wide range of radical organizations advocating things like the ceding of the American southwest to Mexico, or the creation of an Hispanic nation there, with Gringos unwelcome.
Hedgecock reported that some speakers openly identified themselves as communists, others - unfearingly in Super Sanctuary City - openly as illegal aliens. All were mercilessly condemning of the LA police and their actions at the rally.
The time came, according to Hedgecock, for a few speakers to be allowed to talk in favor of the cops. All of these were thoroughly drowned out, it seems, by the vulgar and belligerent wailing from the other participants and their followers.
Hedgecock went on to cite a frightening litany of statistics on LA, showing that the town is essentially hostile foreign soil - other than for the fact Americans are still footing the vast majority of the bill. In fact, in LA County as a whole (among too many similar stats to record them all):
- those whose 1st language is English exceed those whose first is Spanish by a margin of only 5.3 million to 3.9 million,
- gang membership is estimated at 50% illegal alien,
- 40% of new births are to illegals (just about all financed by Uncle Sam's Nephew Saps),
- 60% of those living in taxpayer-financed public housing are illegals,
- 95% of outstanding violent crime arrest warrants are for them,
- as are 75% of those on the Most Wanted list,
- there are 21 Spanish language radio stations (hey, there are at least about 15 that can be picked up during daylight hours around, DC, maybe 8 or 9 in upstate South Carolina, and a similar number at just about any point in between the 2, so big deal).
And remember, California traditionally sets the political tone for the rest of the country...
