I Didn’t Know Guns and Knives Were Capable of Culture July 26, 2007

“Britons” look on at the scene of a crime near the public housing complex in which they live

UK Daily Mail:

A boy of 16 was hunted down by a gang of youths on bicycles today and shot dead as he cowered behind a tree.

It is believed he was cornered in a garden in the central courtyard of a south London estate and killed execution-style with a shot to the head.

Four or five shots were fired as the gang chased the boy through Stockwell-Gardens Estate shortly after midnight. One witness said: “I heard one bang and then I stuck my head out of the window. I saw a group chasing this boy.

“He stopped in the garden and was trying to hide behind a tree. Then there were two more shots. There were no screams.”

Up to seven attackers were involved and many wore bandanas to hide their faces. They are thought to have been armed with two handguns. The boy died outside a low-rise block of flats called Cassell House.

Another resident said she saw youths wearing hoodies and caps riding away afterwards, adding: “There is often a lot of trouble around here with gangs, especially late at night. I’m afraid to leave the house on my own.”

The boy is the 17th youth or young man to become the victim of London’s gun and knife culture this year. It is often gang related and predominantly involves young black males.

Police said the latest victim, from nearby Tulse Hill, was not known to be linked to any gangs. It was believed he went to Stockwell Park high school and was of Somalian origin and had friends in the Stockwell area.

His murder is being investigated by the Met’s Trident team which deals with gun crime in the black community. Detective Inspector Geoff White said: “We have a number of witnesses saying that he was being chased by black youths on cycles.

Knowing Britain’s onerous hate speech laws, the UK Daily Mail might be charged with hate speech and “inciting racism” just by mentioning blacks. I wonder why the Met doesn’t have or think it needs a team that deals with “gun crime” among London’s whites. Then again, as the Met has been infiltrated by AQ, it has many other bigger fish to fry.

If guns and knives are capable of forming a “culture,” then they should be arrested and charged with civil rights violations and hate crimes for targeting black youths.

USA Today: Illegal Aliens Can and Do Deport Themselves July 26, 2007

USA Today:

SAN JOSE BUENAVISTA, Mexico — The plan was simple: Go to the USA. Get a job washing dishes. Make enough money to start a business back home.

Five years after he arrived in New York, Manuel Faustino had accomplished it all. So earlier this month he collected his last paycheck, packed his bags, and went back home to Mexico.

In the debate over illegal immigration, much attention has been focused on Mexicans and other foreigners who want to stay in the United States indefinitely, even become U.S. citizens. Often forgotten are the people like Faustino who work for a short time in the USA, then return home because of family ties or other reasons.

There are no reliable data on how common such cases are, but Mexico is full of taxi drivers, waiters or salesmen who can rattle off the names of tiny towns in Michigan or Oregon where they picked vegetables or worked in construction for a few years.

“Americans don’t understand — many of us don’t want to live in the United States,” said Faustino, 35, as he attended a welcoming party in his honor in the tiny hamlet of San Jose Buenavista. “What we really want is to make some money, then go home to our families.”

Faustino and his cousin crossed the border illegally in 2002. Living in a three-bedroom apartment with 18 other migrants, they eventually became restaurant cooks and managed to save $35,000 apiece.

The two men recruited other investors, then combined the money with a grant from Mexico’s Puebla state to build a complex of tomato greenhouses in San Jose Buenavista, 120 miles northeast of Mexico City. The first crop will be ready next month, and the Faustinos already have a buyer lined up in New York.

What this means is that for many Mexicans, whether they stay here or ultimately return home, the USA is an economic sugar daddy. If Senor Faustino were true to his principles, then he should help white American “nativists” ensure that the USA not become a Latin-American country, so that it can remain prosperous enough to continue to be a field full of money trees. Otherwise, when the USA becomes a northern extension of Mexico, there won’t be a prosperous “America” to sneak into anymore where Senor Faustino and many others like him to build a nest egg.

A few months ago, V-Dare profiled a story of some Mexican illegal aliens that lived in California, somehow got legal status, and moved to Lexington, Kentucky. The matriarch of the family told the MSM that she and her family are far more prosperous in Lexington than they ever could have been in Los Angeles, becuase, “California is becoming too much like Mexico,” and that (pph) “it’s got too many Mexicans.”

Christian Science Monitor:

Washington - Tuition sticker shock – a fact of life for many families putting children through college – and recent scandals involving the student-loan industry are pushing Congress to address financial-aid programs after years of delay.

On Tuesday, the Senate voted 95-to-0 to boost the amount of federal aid that a low-income student can receive, create a simpler aid application, and eliminate some conflicts of interest for the student-loan industry. Four days earlier, it trimmed subsidies to the industry and used much of the money for grants to low-income and other college students.

Not long after the Democrats took control of both the House and the Senate, one of their first actions was to mandate a reduction in the interest rates on Federal student loans. That gave colleges and universities permission to raise tuition and fees, because students could afford to borrow a larger principal based on the lower interest rates. Now, some of the same politicians who helped create the “tuition sticker shock” are trying to cure it with increases in Federal grants.

Nothing is said about doing anything to question the higher education-industrial complex, or to do anything that would put the brakes on their forever-increasing tuition rates, because academia is the left’s playground.

Hispanic Invader Rabble to Sheriff: Shut Down This Phone Line July 26, 2007

AP:

PHOENIX - Latino leaders and faith-based organizations want Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio to disconnect the hotline he created for people to report information about undocumented immigrants, saying it raises the chance of racial profiling.

But Arpaio said Wednesday that he won’t disconnect the hotline and stressed that deputies would investigate people only if authorities had probable cause.

The hotline began last Friday and has received about 300 messages, which include tips about family and friends, employment, day laborers, drop houses and crank calls.

Arpaio said officials are analyzing the tips and officials have not acted on any of the calls.

“There’s nothing unconstitutional about putting up a hotline,” Arpaio said, pointing out that U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement have similar hotlines.

(snip)

The hotline number is 602-876-4154.

If Sheriff Arpaio can’t have this phone line for these reasons, then there shouldn’t be any confidential tip telephone lines to police and law enforcement in big cities, nor should most laws actually be enforced, because the tips and the enforcement result in “racial profiling.” It’s not as if there are a lot of Norwegian illegal aliens running around the valley of the sun.

With All Deliberate Sloth July 26, 2007

Reuters:

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (Reuters) - Seventeen-year-old Quantae Williams doesn’t understand why the U.S. Supreme Court struck down his school district’s racial diversity program.

I have read parts of the majority’s opinion and Breyer’s concurring opinion, and I myself don’t understand their reasoning.

For real, doesn’t Integration H.S. in Louisville teach civics anymore, or was Mr. Williams absent during the week they discussed Marbury v. Madison?

With students already assigned to schools for the academic year that begins in September, few will be immediately affected by the Supreme Court decision. In Jefferson County, officials said it could be two years before a new plan is in place, leaving most students in their current schools.

So much for “with all deliberate speed.” Actually, because Breyer’s concurring opinion seemed milquetoast, and indicated that he could have ruled either way, there will be no rush in Louisville, Seattle and other places to comply with this decision, and no enthusiasm by the Supreme Court to enforce it.

If you read the rest of this article, you will notice a lot of the usual claptrap about diversity, diverse classrooms, and preparing students for a diverse world. However, you won’t read anything about how schools should educate their students well. Evidently, public schools have gotten out of the education business.

So it doesn’t matter if a high school graduate can read his diploma, only that he is acclimated to racial diversity. In that case, the Great American Public Schools have succeeded in their penultimate mission.

MS-13 Consolidating Its Gang Units July 26, 2007

According to a memo written by an unnamed U.S. Attorney from the Southern District of Illinois, disparate MS-13 gangs are consolidating their operations nationwide and internationally. It is said that all politics are local, but I think that if this memo is reflective of reality, that MS-13 wants national coordination for terrorist attacks and assaults on anti-drug and anti-immigration politicians.
