I quite agree. however, when dealing with the WILDLY less-than-honest LBM (that's LameBrain Media, for those in Rio Linda), it's invariably correct to assume that, if the LBM do not identify the perp clearly, then the perp is -- in the case of Calbania -- Hispanic.

Disagree? Make your case. For every single contrary instance you can cite (of assorted crimes reported in the LBM, not to mention those that they refuse to report) where the ethnicity of the perp IS reported, I will cheerfully cite you 10 or a dozen wherein the ethnicity of the perp is NOT reported, because -- solely because -- the perp is a member of some sort of minority that has been ''discriminated against'' and is therefore one of the bLBM's protected classes.

My apologies for the run-on sentence above.

BTW, is it appropriate to say ''Hi, Heels'', or should it be ''Hi, Hi Heels''? If the latter, should we rewrite the Army's ''Caissons'' song's lyric to be ''For it's Hi-Hi-Heels, artillery's on wheels...etc...''? ;^)

I don't disagree. But I don't use a broad brush. That makes us look too much like the noun "Nazi" that I have been called way too often at a screaming level from across the street from someone holding a sign that says "we were here first" or "we're the natives". Evidently I'm allowed to go back to Italy and reclaim my ancestors vineyard from the Greeks.

So I'm careful with my brush.

You can call me Her Majesty Hi Heels or, in greeting, Hi, her Hi-ness Hi Heels. Your choice..... Most just call me Heels or HH. As an explanation, I was sitting at my 'puter the day I signed up and pulled off my pumps. At that exact time the program asked for my id name. So I put in Hiheels.

I admit I have quite a few pairs of shoes. Not because I'm like fetish about them, but simply because I don't toss them. I still have my moccasins from 1960s. I have 253 pairs of shoes at last count. But I've bought some since. And I have a daughter. She has some.... Well, a lot. We just never know when we're gonna need earth shoes....or clogs... or cowboy boots ( I have 15 pairs of cowboy boots in assorted colors). Halloween ... we're there. You non-keeping people are just jealous IMO. Cuz you haven't the storage room.

While this is usually true, the story here is about a child. Juvenile offenders are almost never identified, regardless of their race/national origin/religion.

You forgot blacks or those of the Muslim faith, but that is to be expected from Calipornians to whom Hispanics seem to be the only "problem" minority. ;-)
