who would have thought that Arizona aspires to be the Newark, NJ of the midwest?

So when did Arizona move?

It's very important that this not be seen as a race-dependent incident. The fact that the suspect is described as Hispanic does not mean that Hispanics have a proclivity for violent crimes. Poverty, alienation from centralized government, and persecution give people a proclivity for this type of criminal act. This man should be punished to the full extent of the law, not all Hispanics.

My condolences go to Kyleigh's family.

I find it disturbing that this crime was so brutal and yet media outlets in the west are reporting the description of a "heavy set Hispanic male" that is still at large and, to the contray, the media outlets in the east omit this information.

Too politically sensitive to report the description of a potential murderer just because he's latino and the crime was committed in AZ? Stupid.

At what point in history were mexicans enslaved?

Most of the world has been enslaved at some point. Two of my great grandparents were child laborers in a factory in Rhode Island. They were still alive when I was born- that's not that long ago, but people decended from slaves of over two hundred years ago are still whining.

Depends what this Hispanic person came from, but from

"Over 75 percent of modern Mexico's population, have at least one Indian or Mulatto ancestor. The vast majority of them were slaves. "

Yep.

He probably did it as revenge for slavery.

Sorry to ruin your fantasy, but the suspect was described as a heavy-set hispanic male.

Looks like you're gonna have to make up another story. Good luck.

sounds like it was staged for support of the anti-nonwhitechristian laws in AZ

Hispanic is an ethnicity, not a race. And its Arizona to boot. I guess the people themselves are a propaganda for illegal immigration control.

Yes, your concern about propaganda and the possible illegality of immigration control is understandable.

The point is we harbor people who are empowered to commit crime due to perceived slights or injustices. However, they seem to be targeting those least likely to defend themselves not TPTB.

I was being sarcastic, but you're so full of double talk yourself that you don't realize when someone is throwing the same crap back at you.

Just make sure to be coherent next time.

As if you'd know the difference.

Do you actually think the following comment you made is even remotely coherent: "...we harbor people who are empowered to commit crime due to perceived slights or injustices."

Yeah, if he was a slave and she a slave owner. Which is doubtful.

When was the last time a black woman got her purse snatched? As long as the face isn't dark they will pull even if they only find rolled toiled paper inside.

Your racism, ignorance and hatred is revolting. When was the last time a black woman got her purse snatched? My mom got her pursed snatched and she was dragged into a car and kidnapped. Thank God, they didn't kill her. Do yourself a favor, pick up a Tim Wise book or one from Michael Eric Dyson and educate yourself.
