Vandals Smear Refried Beans in Shape of Swastikas on Arizona Capitol


On Friday Arizona’s Governor signed a bill that essentially divests anyone who looks Hispanic of civil rights, requiring law enforcement officials to question people suspected of being illegal immigrants.

The AP reports that the Arizona capitol was vandalized over night:

The conflict over a sweeping crackdown on illegal immigration in Arizona intensified Monday as vandals smeared refried beans in the shape of swastikas on the state Capitol’s windows.

More protests were planned Monday after thousands gathered this weekend to demonstrate against a bill that will make it a state crime to be an illegal immigrant in Arizona.


(...]

But supporters of the law, set to take effect in late July or August, say it is necessary to protect Arizonans from a litany of crimes committed by illegal immigrants. Arizona is home to an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants.

(...)


Supporters have dismissed concerns about profiling, saying the law prohibits the use of race or nationality as the sole basis for an immigration check. Brewer has ordered state officials to develop a training course for officers to learn what constitutes reasonable suspicion that someone is in the U.S. illegally.

Yeah, that would probably do the trick.

Here’s a better idea, courtesy of Rep. Grijalva: “We’re going to overturn this unjust and racist law, and then we’re going to overturn the power structure that created this unjust, racist law.”

Update: Officers also found AZ=Nazi on the ground.

2. All Hispanics Should Stop Working For One Week & Then Let's See........

what happens. I'm not Hispanic - but if I was - legal or otherwise - I would organize a work boycott for 1 week. See what happens. I think it would bring many businesses down to their knees. Then lets see how these jerks that make and pass these stupid laws react.

5. They don't do "happy".

They're just "outraged" about something else at the moment.

7. I'm more & more convinced they don't even buy their schtick

They are in it for the money, no matter how they inflamed their simpletom listeners.
