Being fully human, facing all varying degrees of emotions, indeed our very nature, is daily work.Each day commi to acts of kindness, acknowledgement of worldly suffering.It means breaking away from the Pack mentality of follow the leader.ie do nothings, is what I call 'em. Daily work to feel something, say or do something to turn your empathy on. Stand up in front of friends & family & start showing it is ok to feel..Talk about what it means to love thy neighbor to your children. This is horrible..Tell your children, friends, self that it is not ok to walk by a starving homeless person, ok to help old folks, ok to call 911, ok to get involved. Ok to be what you are, which is human. Be responsible now or pay later in countless ways and means.
When George W. Bush , a Republican was President, Glenn, Beck, Bill OReilly, Shawn Hannity , Rush Limbaugh claimed Mexicans were coming to America for a better life as our ancestors did.
But now that we have a Democratic President, they claim we should close the borders. This should show that the Conservatives give sympathy and support only if they are getting their way.and can promote their anti-government, anti-citizen agenda convincing us to allow the turnover of our country to " BIG BUSINESS. A group of Fox radio and television draft dodging, ex -alcolhol, ex-drug using college drop-outs multi-millionaires telling us how to love America and how to be patriotic.
These stupid know-nothings aka. the Minuteklan are a pox. I'm normally againt the death penalty, but when it comes to racists, ableists, know-nothings and racist know nothings, I'm 100% for it.
I am a veteran with 20 years of military service. Now, that I am retired. The only job opportunities I could find was to go back to a war zone, because white racist are too busy descriminating against ANYTHING who's name are hispanic in the state of Arizona. I have not been able to find a job after I retired from the military. This is unacceptable and it shows on how the welth of the country is distributed to the "Chickenhawks" vs other American enthicities.
UNACCEPTABLE.
As a Member of the ARM forces I rebuke these acts. The minutemen are no more than domestic terrorist in this nation and should be dealt swiftly. As bush stated an made it known these infedeles are vigilantes runningng around with guns an impersonating actual law enforcement. Our corazones goes out to the family of Brisenia. May justice be swift.
Hope Justice prevails for the safety of my people and prevents from these type of hatred crimes to go on. Us Latinos/Mexicans also fight in wars for all US freedom, we pay taxes, we contribute to the economy we do as much as any citizen its obvious this was a racist act. Senseless killing anybody alone a defenseless 9 yr old girl. My heart goes out to the Flores Family. Hope justice is serve and this doesn't go overlooked by the court system.
Why is that when a middle-aged rancher who has lived his life gets killed everybody cares, but when ten year old little girl gets shot and killed in cold blood,the mother can't even have justice? That is an outrage!
I thought this was a nation of integrity, freedom , and justice.
With the Minutemen invovled this is purely a hate crime why are these vigilantes allowed to do what they're doing? Can't you people imagine if that little girl was your duaghter? Where is your humanity?
Perhaps if the Federal Government would step-up and ensure the American People that the flood of Criminals, dope-dealers and Social Program leeches that continually ILLEGALLY flood this Country (and my State of Arizona), this unfortunate act would never have happened.
The information that Raul Flores was involved in the international Dope Trade was surely a factor, otherwise those numbskulls from the Minuteman OFFSHOOT group would never have attempted robbery.
TO GOP LEADERS AND CONGRESS YOU NEED TO TAKE THE LEAD ON ALL THE REMARKS ABOUT KILLING OUR DAUGHTERS, WOMEN, AND OUR LOVED ONE'S BECAUSE REMARKS MADE BY HATE GROUPS, ELECTED REPS. LIKE REP. VIRGIL PECK JR .
FROM KANSAS CITY,KANSAS AND TALK RADIO DJ.THE HATE AND THE KILLING HAS TO STOP.KRIS KOBACH OUR ELECTED SECT.OF KANSAS CITY,KANSAS NEED TO BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE AND CHARGE WITH HATE CRIMES.
I am only about number 256 to sign this petition. That makes me quite unhappy. There should be thousands by now screaming about this horrific, irresponsible, undemocratic and malicious killing of a beautiful, defenseless and innocent child.
It is absolutely ridiculous to let this group of racist, ignorant people do the things they are doing on the border. It is the governments responsibility to handle this situation without causing harm to innocent people, whether they be legal or illegal. This Minute Men garbage has gotten way out of hand and they need to be stopped.
Every individual has rights, Latinos as well. We are being treated as the slaves where from the white race. Everyone has a right to live in this world and should have to right to live any where they'd like.
You have to show respect to receive it, we Latinos respect other unless you disrespect us we mind our own business we do other jobs that others don't want. I think we are helping others out by working those jobs. We care for your children when you don't have time to, we work in your fields just to make even a little bit of money. Can't you see all we want is to live life just like everyone else!
murder by withe racism;covered,proteted,out law, must pay,we are the option to make pay them,only been consius, really commited, htey have stolen ours land, ours rigths, ours lives, dignity,etc.
That is ours children teaching,if black race won rigth from slavery to fredoom and equal rigths as other citizen, wy we are lossing rigths as latinos?
Estoy una Chicana; studying to be a History teacher. I cannot tell you how much the issue of immigration upsets and confuses my psyche as well as my identity. But I cannot tell you how much this case has injured it.
to whom it may concern: I am tired of all these white racist and all other race racists corrupting our beautiful country. We will never have peace if our own government allows animjals like these minutemen and other vigilante groups to flourish on the backs of our hard working people!! I plead with mr President Obama to stop the hate in the name of brisena an angel and her father raul, as well. These people should not have died in vain! i have faith that god will speak to your heart mr president, and swift justice will be done for this family. And though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, i shall fear no evil. u are doing a wonderful job obama, i will vot for you again, you are the hope our contry needs. your are a blessing to us all. god be with you, no mortal man may rise up against you. let us have peace in america. down with fox news and all its affiliates for they speak nothing but hate, and are a toxic presence in America the BEAUTIFUL. PEACE BE WITH YOU MR PRESIDENT
These individuals must not escape justice! I respectfully demand they be arrested, given a fair trail and sentenced. The time is over, when those in the dominant society turn a blind eye. This terrorism against its own citizendry. We demand justice!!!
I have fought for my country and will not stand by and let the racist beliefs and actions of long ago perpetrate my life any longer as they did my parents and grandparent. I am sick of the government always turning a blind eye when wrongs are commited not only to RAZA but to all people of color.I hope that by this action things will change.
LaRaza and the Aztlan Movement are evil. They repeat the same thoughts as all racist groups. They lie and tell half truths just as every other hate group. You pick away and seek to do harm and all you will get is a war.
This brutal and horrific incident is testimony to the high level hypocrisy that exists in the USA today. While the US government criticizes terrorists in the Middle East and the killing, during the current rioting in Iran, of Neda Agha Soltan, it looks the other way when witnessing the actions of its own domestic terrorist who invade the homes of Latinos and murder little innocent children.
I only hope for best that laws start working for the people and not agenst the people.I hold my tounge and only hope that Justice is served and all guilty are punished.
If we do not learn from history, we are bound to repeat our past mistakes. We see an example in the american civil war, organization on both sides of the conflict used para military units to carry out their murderous plans along border states and people who did not agree with thier political ideology..
The men involved in this hate crime MUST be sentenced to the death penalty without a doubt and their organization dissolved.
Immigartion Laws should be carried out by the federal governement not sate or local governments and much less individuals who only seek hate and discrimmination.
Latinos all across the North American Continent. Please fill the colleges, universities and other academic institutions of this great country. Embrace Education and arm yourself with knowledge . Please stop making Latinos the targets of Hatred Crimes and the scapegoats for the down economy.
Bring swift justice for Brisenia and Raul Flores, and peace to the mother who will live the rest of her life reminded of the terrifying moment when these domestic terrorists white supremacists committed the terrorist act of murder of a child and her father.
To Congress- This you your fault..
You gave to much power to unlaw men to do this hate crime. Do some thing, and do whats right. For won't happen again to another family. I thought this country was for freedom. Not for murdering innocent familys.
I thought murder is against the law.
A.G.
P.S Why is it only mexicans and not any other race. This a sad country....
Its a sad day in society when those who think they are above the law take the law into their hands and spill the blood of innocent victims simply, because of who they are. Those responsible for this crime should be made to pay as that is what justice is in the United States.
I hope they stay in jail for life!! or get the death penalty, which will probably be too easy for them, no keep them in jail, so they can be miserable for life..
Minutemen are no different than the KKK. They target Latinos regardless of status of their citizenship because it is a racist group. This great country that we love was built largely on the backs of Latinos and with our blood, sweat, and tears. We are the indigenous of this land and we are not going anywhere.
