unit731 Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Supposedly selling untaxed cigarettes. Cigarettes purchased from a low tax state and brought up to NYC. He's dead now. Cost of a pack of cigarettes in Kentucky about $5.00. Cost of a pack of cigarettes in NYC about $15.00. And even is the cigarettes were stolen . . . . is this justice? http://youtu.be/l4zKes_s1F4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unit731 Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 The story is FALSE! All over Fox News on the tele - Saturday. The Fox News junkie viewers all excited about this story. The Main Stream Media did not cover this story. R-Louis Gohmert heard it from a friend of a friend and told Fox News of such. Unfortunately, the story is false. Cartels suspected as high-caliber gunfire sends Border Patrol scrambling on Rio Grande EXCLUSIVE: RINCON PENINSULA, Texas -- U.S. Border Patrol agents on the American side of the Rio Grande were forced to take cover Friday night when high-caliber weaponry was fired at them from the Mexican side of the river, sources told FoxNews.com.

Bullets ricocheted into an area where Border Patrol agents were positioned, Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, told FoxNews.com. LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unit731 Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Texas Governor Rick Perry (a presidential candidate) sent the National Guard to the border. Thing is, the National Guard cannot do anything with illegal crossings. Nada. Zip. And a total waste of taxpayers money. A purely political ploy to make him look "tough".

unit731 Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 More on Republican Governor Rick Perry. A noted candidate for President of the United States. Death Penalty. R- Texas Governor Rick Perry sends a potentially innocent man to the gallows. But even with a central pillar of the state’s case against Willingham in doubt, Texas Gov. Rick Perry refused to delay Willingham’s execution. Last year a report commissioned by the Texas Forensic Science Commission backed up the findings of Dr. Hurst, finding that the arson evidence against Willingham did not have “any basis in modern fire science.†Perry publicly defended his handling of the case and quickly replaced the commission’s chairman, Sam Bassett. LINK Willingham is dead. Executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 ...and Perry is still a lying scumbag! Isn't that one of the requirements of being a politician? " Willingham was found guilty and was executed in 2004. In 2009 the case was reopened; however, the Governor of Texas mysteriously reappointed four of the nine members of the Forensic Science Commission. Still, court changed the conviction to unsustainable in 2009." http://rawjustice.co...found-innocent/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Eric Garner was NOT selling cigs at the time of his death. He was breaking up a fight and the witnesses around him corroborated. Common sense says that they know what is going on and right. Inner city residents do not protect criminals. We were the victims of them and you never see people telling cops not to arrest a robber, mugger, murderer, gangbanger etc. sole exception is their family/gf but not the whole crowd. We are glad to see those guys off the streets. The cops know this. They aren't stupid. They wanted to pad their arrest ratio so they were taking him in anyway. The whole cigs seller thing is a deflection for the brutality. When I was a kid, cops didn't care about stuff like that anyway. why? they knew people were poor and needed a side hustle. As long as it wasn't stolen merchandise they didn't care. Most of the cig stuff is bought legit from neighboring states and sold in the city. Cops would sometimes even buy some. There was always an underground economy. There was always a back alley where a guy would change your oil, tire, car maintenence. These guys were often ex cons who couldn't get a job because they had a record. The whole neighborhood went to these guys, he charged a fraction of the price and had his own tools or if he needed something from the auto parts, he'd go with you to pick out the right part. In those days the cops were bad but they had a code to some extent. Today, none...and its not minoriities anymore, its everyone. Youtube 'police brutality'; + take your pic of soccer mom, teenage girl, elderly, even handicapped and you'll find a video. Also, if a cop is committing an act on video, its a certainty he's done the same multiple times and just happened to get caught that one time on video. Inner city minorities were easy pickings for cops in the old days. No one cared. The cops in the suburbs were the ones that visited your kindergarten class and treated you nice. Everyone assumed 'those inner city people are all criminals anyway' that was mentality. No one could believe cops would arbitrarily abuse anyone. I saw it first hand and on a few occasions was ...this close....to being on the end of some sort of issue. As I said before, my parents would have killed me if I talked back to a cop. It was yes sir or officer and you did what you were told. The cops, depending on his mood would instigate things. The cops in Philly would say 'hey stupid', etc. just to bait you. or call you 'boy' knowing its a buzzword. Now, its hitting everyone and people are slowly realizing that police abuse inner city folks complained about for decades was in fact happening to the innocent as well.

Steve Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Sad that the USA can send thousands of troops to Iraq or Afghanistan but cannot protect its own borders! It doesn't want to. People don't realize that a lot of industries rely on this labor. Agricultural industry, restaurants, factories (the few that haven't relocated outside of America), etc. A farm once tried to hire Americans and pay a decent wage, in the teens per hour I think. They couldn't get enough people and the fact is no one wants to do 3D (dirty, dangerous, difficult) jobs anymore. EVERY nation in history that ruled its era did so on slave and/or cheap labor. Every one of them. Blacks no longer provide free labor and since the '60s can't be kept out of the mainstream so America needed a new labor force. If illegals didn't come the price of food would go up dramatically. Its a fact. Companies don't want the border secured. The US government knows this and agrees. The drugs are a necessary evil and byproduct of it. The fed goverment is f*cking over the border states because they have to deal with the issue. In LA, its common place that a kindergarten class or 1st or 2nd grade is scheduled to have a certain number of kids and ends up with up to 50 percent more than it does. Hospitals are overwhelmed. The states have a legit case for a lawsuit but its all part of the system of denial. It won't come to anything. Illegal latinos aren't stealing any jobs. They are doing the work that none of us want to do. I'm NOT saying illegal immigration is good. Its not. Its insane to not know who is coming into your country but the fact is though that if the anger is over lost jobs it isn't. They perform a necessary function. The over extended infrastructure is what we should be angered about. Also, the crime angle is false. I've seen the stats, anyone can google it. Illegal immigrant crime rate is much, much lower than society in general. Drug/gang members are coming across and that is the 'necessary evil' the government puts up with but their numbers in comparison to the total is infintismal. There is a bias with regards to illegal immigration. The government knows where the estimated 10,000 illegal Irish are in Boston and the estimated 50,000 in NYC. No one bats an eye. They operate openly. Not picking on the Irish. Just saying that our anger is selective. Ther are also thousands of Europeans who have come over on student or tourist visas and simply overstayed the tourist visa or never matriculated in the school. No one looks for them as well. Why? Hmmm..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kung Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 A lot of people don't want to work because they're paid not to. It's that forken simple. This catastrophe has nothing to do with work, and everything to do with votes. If you're not ashamed to be American, you should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
