		<description><![CDATA[A big fuss over something that&#039;s very controlable. Hate can be stopped anytime we&#039;re ready. But, be prepared to hurt feelings including your own. The answer is in the news everyday, worldwide. If you&#039;re willing to do what has to be done, totally without violence, we can very easily stop hate. But, it&#039;s going to take minorities working together. We can turn the tables anytime we&#039;re ready and if all minorities come together and hit the air ways together. I promise you that within 1 year it will be a thing of the pass.
We can&#039;t remove it from the heart but, we can put a stop to how open they&#039;re willing to be in public and that alone will stop these organizations from growing. I&#039;m ready whenever!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The person that Ramos and Compean shot was a drug smuggling thug who was illegal and sneaking drugs into this country. 

These men are heros. 

Our nation is fed up with illegal immigration. Stop trying to say that being anti-illegal immigration is the same as being anti-immigration. 

I welcome anyone of any race from any nation who comes here the legal way. Ellis Island. Not sneaking over the border. 

And you can come up with all the spin you want to make it sound like we&#039;re the bad guys. We&#039;re not. And this invasion is going to end sooner or later. Keep pushing us American citizens and you will awaken a sleeping giant. And trust me... we will win.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ramos and Compean were responsible for a summary execution. That they did so &quot;in the line of duty&quot; is precisely what distinguishes summary execution from real justice. They at least had a right to a trial of appeals.

		<description><![CDATA[David:
&#039;The American Indian found out the hard way what happens when illegal immigration runs amok.&quot;

What do you, sir, know about the lessons the American Indians faced when &quot;immigration runs amok&quot;? American Indians did not create borders, as the tribes at the border that have the old traditional treaties signed with the U.S. government when the delineation of borders was created. As they would say--&quot;the borders crossed them, they didn&#039;t cross any borders.&quot; As for them learning their lessons the hard way, its true in that context that the U.S. government made it difficult for border tribes to access their lands. It has nothing to do with illegal aliens but more to do with the U.S. immigration policies and their lack of respect for indian tribes at the border, their split-up families, their sacred sites, and burial grounds etc. Is it possible that Ramos(and/or Compean) are part Native American? Because from the article above, they&#039;ve shouted racist epithets at the fleeing Mexican.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If forced to choose, I would pick the corruption of Ramos  over the other corruption and larger issue here- our leaders in D.C. are hip- deep involved in the illegal drug trade. If about 80% of all of the cocaine entering the US enters through well known choke points (one county in Texas on the Mex border)...yet we keep the border &quot;open&quot;...You know whats going on..

		<description><![CDATA[As much as I support our Border Patrol Agents and the elite--&quot;Shadow Wolves&quot;. But in this case, after learning of how they(Ramos&amp;Compean) conducted themselves and this incident is woefully the opposite of professional law enforcement conduct. It was rogue and criminal in nature, that they did not report the shooting, the suspect or even the unknown amounts of drug contraband inside the van. I don&#039;t see anything professional about their handling of this. And anyone who supported what they did are technically supporting cops on the wrong side of the law. It is reminiscent of mass corrupt lawdogs like those in Mexico. And we cannot allow our own law enforcement personals to act in the same manner. 

I don&#039;t hold Ramos&amp;Compean to high police standards. After how they tried to cover up their crime. But the good news is that they are no longer with the Border Patrol Agency. And that&#039;s what counts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[They upset the drug cart and it could have exposed the drug corruption going on. Attn. had to file charges.  This is a coverup by the Attn. and his group. A wider issue is involved here, for sure. DRUGs and the cartel. Someone needs to check it out before jumping to conclusions when the TRUE FACTs are not known. What has been in the news is not a good reference of facts. Undercover agencies and agents know what is going on. If and when the truth is known, we will thank these two agents for what they did. This is just the tip of the coverup going on in the drug traffic routes and who is covering it up and protecting it. Follow the money. When will the drugs that has been confiscated be destroyed. 
What is an illegal immigrant. They entered the USA illegally. 
As for immigration. The United States should look at the immigration law of Mexico. I am sure they who enter the USA illegally would just love it because OURs is so restrictive.]]></description>

Two cops who shot an unarmed suspect in the butt.  Yeah, they&#039;re real heroes. 

In other news:

BALTIMORE (AP) -- A white supremacist accused of beating of a 76-year-old black man has a tattoo of Adolf Hitler on his stomach with the words &quot;He Lives&quot; beneath it, and uses the Nazi dictator&#039;s last name as a nickname, according to police and court documents.

Calvin E. Lockner, 28, was ordered held without bail Wednesday morning. He&#039;s been charged with a long list of crimes including attempted murder, carjacking and assault, and prosecutors can seek tougher penalties under Maryland&#039;s hate crime law.&quot;
