He was talking about Austin. That’s where the incident took place.

Not every thread is about immigration reform and/or amnesty.

Mob violence is INCREASINGLY the norm during/after Juneteenth “Celebrations”. Read today’s Drudge Report - those are all Juneteenth mobs. Good events to stay away from!

A crowd attacked and killed a passenger in a vehicle that had struck and injured a child ... Police believe 2,000 to 3,000 people were in the area for a city-sponsored Juneteenth celebration.....
Ah-ha, 'Juneteenth', that answers the question.

The same crap happens on the South Side of Chicago (Englewood Neighborhood) when a pedestrian gets hit by a car, especially a kid. The 'residents' go native and kill anyone in the car. And there's never any witnesses either.

“All the mob did here was import their culture and values into the US.”

You’re a real thinker type, aren’t you?

What if the people in the mob weren’t of hispanic descent?

Better go back and READ!!

As Fred Thompson said in The Hunt For Red October, “This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.”

THREAD JACKER!

***I want to thank President Bush and other Amnesty supporters for allowing this sort of cultural importation into my country.***

You might want to thank all the presidents we’ve had for the past thirty years who did NOTHINg ABOUT THE INVASION. But, NO, it’s all Bush’s fault. And it wasn’t a Mexican who killed, it was a Mexican who got killed.

You are wrong about that. the illegals usually mind their business with stuff like this,

My theory is that these are fourth and fith generation welfare citizens that just joined in the melle and had no idea why they were beating the man.

But don’t DARE say that they act differently from a suburban white neighborhood.

I feel a bit nostalgic about Juneteenth. It was my father-in-law’s birthday and, as he always had a number of people of color working for him, he would have a big party.

Lots of people (not in Texas) don’t know what Juneteenth is or why it’s celebrated.

I’m actually surprised they were celebrating it in that lovely apartment complex.

But if we all try a little harder, every thread will be. Get to work!

There is absolutely no reason for illegals to know about or celebrate Juneteenth. It had to have been a Black complex.

No.

It gave no indication of the social or economic status of the neighborhood.

So we can can assume that it was a white suburban gated community, right?

"Blacks and Hispanics are not too friendly toward eachother—apparently! How tragic. It’s not safe in American anymore"

Bingo. This is I'm sure what happened. Blacks are upset that Hispanics are the new "protected minority" in America and they don't like it. They probably directed their rage at this guy especially because he was Hispanic. For all of the complaining we hear from black leaders, the average black person really does think of themselves as true blue Americans and the hispanics are "interlopers". I never really grasped this until I went to the Santa Monica Pier. I heard a cop talking about how there is always trouble between blacks and Hispanics. I got to see this first hand. It's only a matter of time until there is a full out war between the two groups.

Well, look carefully at the pic of the crowd offing the motorist passenger. Tell me what they have in common.

Does that really matter when a mob takes the law into their own hands and kills someone?
