    These “boys” should have the amount of $$ they are required to contribute into the Witness Compensation Fund multiplied by at least 10. Under no circumstances should they be paroled early. Neither they, nor their community, have acknowledged that racism was at the core of their horrendous actions against Mr. Ramirez.

    Before someone chimes in…. No human being is illegal. We are all children of God. As were my immigrant grandparents; where are your ‘ancestors’ from?

    DO YOU EAT? Thank a farmworker for their long hours of backbreaking labor. As we say in our County: “I don’t see no white people lining up to work in the fields…”
