Arpaio must be stopped. Racial profiling and militant groups are not the values of this country. I am Hispanic, but I feel that anyone regardless of their ethnicity or race can stand up against prejudice. I do not think AZTEC is a true Hispanic. I think it's Arpaio in disguise trying to stir trouble.

I'm just curious why Channel 15 didn't show any of the anti-Joe protestors who were wearing the black bandanas to hide their faces, or why was the security there facing THEM and not us who were in support of Joe. The comments the anti-Joe side were making illustrated the immaturity, lack of understanding and pettiness of their arguments. If they can get this motivated to protest here, why can't they direct some of their efforts to making things better in their country. And yes I was there, saw them and had encounters with them. My closing comment is the next time one of the illegals is being held by the coyotes for ransom, don't call Sheriff Joe...remember, you don't have any use for him.

Sorry I meant border not boarder.

If it's racists you're seeking out, check out the article about the boarder patrol agent. I found it under the cenral/southAZ tab. I'm small potatoes all I want is peace.

JENNY, IF THERE IS ONE THING THAT I LEARNED WHEN THIS CHICANO PALESTINIAN WAS IN THE LOS ANGELES BLACK PANTHER PARTY VANGUARD MOVEMENT, WAS "IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE SOLUTION, ...YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM! WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO ALL PACIFISTS, I AM NOT ONE, ...I AM A PROUD RADICAL REVOLUTIONARY WHO ONLY SEEKS TO ATTACK AND DESTROY OUR WHITE RACIST XENOPHOBE CRACKKKAH ENEMY WHEREVER I CAN FIND "THEM!! IT'S THE SURVIVAL OF LA RAZA AND OTHER OPPRESSED PEOPLE OF COLOR, OR OUR ENEMY RACIST WHITEY! THE ONLY "LANGUAGE" THAT OUR WHITE RACIST ENEMIES UNDERSTAND IS ENGAGE "THEM" BY ANY AND ALL MEANS NECESSARY, ...REGARDLESS! DON'T FORGET, THAT RACIST WHITEY IS A BLOOD THIRSTY PO P ISS GUTTER "RACE"! "THEY" ALSO ONLY UNDERSTAND ONE SOLE LANGUAGE, "...IT'S RACIST WHITEY'S AMERIKKKA!"! RACIST WHITEY IS A DYING RACE WHO ARE SELF OBLITERATING THEMSELVES FROM THIS HEA PLANET VIA ABORTION, ...PERIOD! CAPICE?! VIVA SALVADOR REZA AND THE ARIZONA PUENTE MOVEMENT!

Aztec, I understand what you're trying to say, but I think you missed my point. I am not a hick, cracker or redneck, but you lumped me with that group. I'm trying to make a difference here in Az, by marching against a corrupt sheriff, so why attack me? Also, I disagree with your name calling because two wrongs don't make a right. American history will show you that the people who actually made a difference for the good in this country did so in a peaceful nonviolent way. My question to you is why attack me? Why am I your enemy? Also, I would like to know if you feel that your race is superior to others?

JENNY, IF YOU CAN'T COMPREHEND WHICH SPECIFIC ENEMIES I AM TARGETING, THEN YOU HAVE NO CONCEPT WHO THE REAL ENEMY IS! THOSE 'HICKKK CRACKKKAH REDNECKKKS" WHICH I DO LUMP IN THE SAME CATEGORY ARE THOSE BIGOTED WHITE SUPREMACISTS WHO BELIEVE "THEY" ARE SUPERIOR THAN ANYONE WHO IS NOT OF "THEIR" WHITE COLOR! YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THESE ARE THE SCOURGE OF THE EARTH WHO BY A FREAK OF MOTHER NATURE WHO WERE ACCIDENTALLY "BORN" ON THIS HEA PLANET! NOW IT'S UP US RAZA AND OTHER OPPRESSED PEOPLE OF COLOR TO FIGHT THESE WHITE RACIST MISCREANTS WHEREVER THEY CAN BE FOUND! I FOUND "THEM" HERE ON THIS FORUM SO I HAVE A "JOB" TO DO! I VISIT MANY OTHER SITES WHERE I AM WELL "KNOWN"! I DELVE IN THIS! I WILL ONLY ATTACK WHEN I PERCEIVE THE ENEMY AMONG OUR MIDST! CAPICE?! AS I SAID BEFORE AND I SAY IT AGAIN! "THANK GOODNESS THAT NOT ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACISTS!" "IF IT'S A GOOD FIGHT, ...I WANT TO BE IN IT!"

Aztec, I attended the march as well, but you called me a racist “Elly Mae” that has sexual relations with farm animals and family members. The truth is that I’m from Arizona, born and raised, and I’ve never heard anyone from the valley called “Elly Mae”, “inbred” or “hick”. You seem to lump anyone that does not agree with your racist views into this category, and at the same time can’t seem to understand why people call you racist, ignorant, etc… If you go around saying that white people are inbred and have telephones made of string and cans, then you are no different that a person that says, all Mexicans do is sell drugs and collect government assistance. What’s attacking me going to do for your cause? Nothing!! Why don’t you take Kaylee’s advice and fight for love, peace, and acceptance, after you take a sociology class of course.

Not that I dont sympathize with their cause at times,but the IRA have been widely recognized as terrorists.The way I see it the very definition of the word is one or more who would at least have people beleive they will take deadly measures to sway the public,and or governments to change policy.There are civilized ways of doing this.War is sanctioned by governments not small factions of disenfranchised races.When terrorists attempt to wage war innocent non combatants and schoolchildren are the preferred targets.When governments wage war its true that innocents are killed but for the most part they are not specificly targeted.Here in America we have an especially unkind veiw of terrorists,with all weve been made to endure since 9/11.I think its even fair to say there might be a brewing vigilante spirit among some.At any rate,the anonymity enjoyed by the posters of off color comments on websites like this is one thing,but the safety and comfort of an individual might be at risk should the would be vigilantes gain knowledge of the wherabouts of an individual,who might be perceived as a terrorist.If that individuals comments should be taken only slightly further,the wrath of governments might even possibly be incurred,at which point the protection the worldwide web affords,might become alarmingly transparent.If I was not prepared to back up all that I said with the same red blood that flows in the veins of all humankind and holds the source of prescious life within,I might just err on the side of good judgement and a longer,more productive life.At least I would not want to be in any way alligned with others of such ill repute.Anyway,I hope all is well on your end AZTECWARRIOR.

Kaylee WROTE; "AztecWarrior So you are fighting for people who are oppressed by waging war against whites/ "crackers" . The question to ask yourself Aztec warrior, is how your people and all the other minority's became oppressed. They became oppressed by racist who believed that they were some how better. Fight for peace, love & acceptance of others. If we had this there would be no need for protests like this one. Stop adding to the fire of hate, and then you will make a difference in this world. Is a difference really what you want-or are you having to much fun consuming your self with hate, while pretending your a warrior. There would be no war Aztec warrior, if it wasn't for people like you with that kind of attitude. I did attend the protest and I am white. I went because I wanted to show my support for the people here in AZ that were being mistreated by Arpaio, I don't support his racism, retarded mentality and policy's. I don't approve or like ignorant, racist, show offs that spew hate in this world. With that said I most certainly did NOT go to that protest to support people like you- You and Arpaio are the same~ WAKE UP AND LOOK AT YOUR SELF- Your a contradicting, ignorant fool- " _________________________________________________________________________ THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING AT THE MARCH. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I AM NOT AGAINST ALL WHITE PEOPLE PER SE. MY INITIAL REVOLUTIONARY MENTORS WERE WHITE MEMBERS OF THE SDS, ...THE FORERUNNERS OF THE INFAMOUS "WEATHER UNDERGROUND". IT'S THE WHITE RIGHTWING REACTIONARY RACIST XENOPHOBE ENEMIES THAT I TARGET EXCLUSIVELY. ...NOT ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACISTS, ...THAT I ACKNOWLEDGE! MY PERSONAL COMRADES AT-ARMS WERE MEMBERS OF IRA (IRISH REPUBLICAN ARMY) 35 YEARS AGO. I HOPE I CLEARED THE AIR HERE. I AM AN INTERNATIONALIST REVOLUTIONARY, ...PERIOD! "A REVOLUTION IS NOT A REVOLUTION WHEN ALL OPPRESSED PEOPLE DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE WHY THERE IS A NEED FOR A REVOLUTION AGAINST OUR COMMON ENEMIES!"
