racist disgusting attitudes surface oh so quickly

the dark side of San Diego has surfaced itself on the comments section of a blog post tonight on the main fire-news blog. The original post is here, the almost completely dispicable trail of racist comments is here...below I have pasted much of the dialog, but the formatting is kind of messed up: here is the post that caused all the stir: you can read the comments at the bottom of the story. Illegal immigrants suspected of stealing supplies Posted @ 4:27 PM Six illegal immigrants who were suspected of stealing relief supplies from Qualcomm Stadium were arrested by Border Patrol agents after San Diego police stopped them Wednesday morning.A woman who had been evacuated to the stadium told officers she saw the group load up two pickup trucks and a car with cots and other supplies, leave and then return, said police Sgt. Jesse Cesen~a.When officers stopped them, a member of the group said they were being paid to take things of value from the stadium."They were stealing a lot of stuff," Cesen~a said. "We took the stuff back and we escorted them out. They were stealing from the people in need."Because some members of the group spoke Spanish, officers called Border Patrol agents at the stadium for relief efforts. They determined the people were in the country illegally and arrested them.The Border Patrol agents are among 100 that the federal agency has been providing for relief efforts, said agency spokesman Matthew Johnson. He said the agents are not looking for illegal immigrants among people seeking refuge at the stadium."We're not out there doing immigration stuff in the middle of a disaster," he said. "However, we still enforce the laws."-- Onell R. Soto and here are the disgusting comments "Illegal immigrants suspected of stealing supplies" Anonymous said... Why am I NOT SURPRISED!!!

These rat feces ought to be hung in the public square and stoned by every legal citizen in San Diego. I'll be first. This is beyond appalling and atrocious. Yeah for the thin Green Line!

Taking them back to Mexico is like giving them a free vacation. October 24, 2007 4:37 PM Anonymous said... They and thier immediate families should be evicted and deported on the spot. We need to send a message October 24, 2007 4:43 PM Anonymous said... Talk about good neighbors.... October 24, 2007 4:44 PM Anonymous said... Maybe we should have them fight the fires, then send them back to Mexico. October 24, 2007 4:45 PM Anonymous said... Disgusting...really disgusting. They should be ashamed...very ashamed. October 24, 2007 4:46 PM Anonymous said... you know, had they just asked, they may have been able to take some supplies legally. October 24, 2007 4:47 PM Anonymous said... It is things like this that make me dislike our neighbors to the south. How dare these people steal from those who have just lost everything. October 24, 2007 4:47 PM Anonymous said... We are in the middle of evacuating and trying to stop the fire, and some people are trying to steal from people in need??!? I'm not sure about other but I am very angry when I heard this news... Those people need to be sent to jail, punished, and sent back to their country!!! October 24, 2007 4:53 PM Anonymous said... Haven't you heard? Illegal immigrants just come here because they want a better life....but at who's expense?Native San Diegan sick of it. October 24, 2007 4:54 PM Anonymous said... This looting is a Federal felony when a Federal Emergency has been declared. Throw them in jail and throw away the keys. Scum! October 24, 2007 5:00 PM Karl said... This isn't news about the fire. It's also not news pertinent to operations at the Qualcomm center that evacuees or concerned citizens need to know about. This should be removed from the Wildfires blog in lieu of reports about the actual fire and evacuation.

October 24, 2007 5:19 PM Christine said... i can't believe they were sent by someone to steal cots and food items from evacuees! do these people have no scruples? October 24, 2007 5:21 PM Anonymous said... Should have built the wall and kept the illegals out - when we will learn. October 24, 2007 5:21 PM Anonymous said... great example for your country Mexico. The image is that you're a bunch of theives. This isn't true but it doesn't appear very good when you're stealing from evacuated people. I'm sure they'll be given a 'pass' by the media since they're illegally here. Could you imagine if they'd been white and doing the same thing in New Orleans?? Media field day!! October 24, 2007 5:26 PM Sick of it, in Vista said... People, this ISN'T Katrina.... Let's show the rest of the country that Californians have some class and community spirit... Oh, wait.... the people accused AREN'T FROM CALIFORNIA.... THEY ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! October 24, 2007 5:27 PM Anonymous said... "we took the stuff back and escorted them out"?? what the hell is that? why did this police sgt. not arrest the dirtbags, make an example out of them. what a missed opportunity... make the arrest, publicize the arrest on all media, get the public ire up and this would not continue. or just shoot em. October 24, 2007 5:36 PM Anonymous said... This is the lowest kind of behavior, stealing from a relief effort. October 24, 2007 5:45 PM Anonymous said... I can't believe that people would just show up at the stadium and begin stealing stuff!!! October 24, 2007 5:55 PM Anonymous said... Awesome job to the BP!!!!! October 24, 2007 6:17 PM Anonymous said... Illegal or not, why were they not arrested for stealing? The statement was that they were 'escorted out'. This is virtually no different than looting - they are taking from people in need in order to profit...At least they were arrested in the end by the Border Patrol. I understand that the police resources are stretched but we have to draw the line... October 24, 2007 6:25 PM Anonymous said... This is exactly why we need to enforce our immigration laws. Contrary to popular belief not all of these illegals are kind hearted individuals looking for a better life. These illegals are heartless people here to take advantage of us during a disaster or not during a disaster. God Bless everyone who loves America and helps those in times of need.

I hope the courts throw the book at them. October 24, 2007 6:54 PM Anonymous said... whether illegal or not these people should be put away for life, this is a horrendous act that should be punished to the fullest extent (and maybe beyond a litte) October 24, 2007 7:54 PM Anonymous said... The poltical climate of correctness implies we are to accept and be gracious to illegal immigrants, to the point of reffering to them as undocumented aliens. Illegal is illegal and here they are not only getting free medical services, shelter and tax free cash money but now stealing from those in need. It's obvious these people do not care about our country or it's people, but they only care about what they can get or steal from us. If you or I did anything "Illegal" we would be arrested and prosecuted. Why are we not doing the same to them? Enough is enough! October 24, 2007 8:04 PM Anonymous said... Can we get this story to the national news agencies so they can get the word out to the rest of the country of why there is so much anomosity towards the illegal's. Lack of respect and lack of morals iswhat is coming into this country at all of our expenses!!! October 24, 2007 8:19 PM Devin said... Ok, these six guys are scum. Agreed. They should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and then deported. Agreed.But there are probably north of 100,000 illegals in San Diego and 6 of them were caught steeling. It is not evidence of the general character of illegal immigrants any more than the 2 american teenagers caught looting in Ramona are representative of all americans. You can be against illegal immigration without resorting to racist and prejudiced comments saying illegals or Mexicans are all a bunch of thieves. Put the white hoods away. October 24, 2007 8:47 PM Anonymous said... Oh my god, I cannot believe the utterly dispicable racism and hatred in this comment forum.If this had been six wealthy, white teenagers from Rancho Bernardo stealing supplies from Qualcomm I donlt think the response in this forum would be quite the same. Perhaps people instead would say, "kids will be kids!"The pathetic depths of responses in this forum just go to prove much of a racist, hateful place San Diego really is!Again, New Orleans NEVER got the disaster recovery responses that San Diego is receiving. Talk about racist! October 24, 2007 8:50 PM Anonymous said... This is no surprise to me. This is why I will never accept it when I hear people say that illegals are just hard-working people who want a better life. B.S.! They broke the law in the first place, and as any behavioral psychologist knows, when someone has a willful disregard for the law, it shows a propensity to continue to commit illegal acts. That's why there are SO many illegal alien criminals, this is why they have no remorse for stealing Soc. Security #'s, driving with no license and while drunk, statutory rape, and sucking down services provided by taxpayers, meant for citizens. Open your eyes, bleeding hearts. An illegal alien might sneak in illegally from the third-world, but the third-world never leaves the illegal alien. October 24, 2007 8:57 PM Anonymous said... Devin,You're probably a nice guy but don't you feel the frustration of all the other bloggers? It has been pent up for years because of our do-gooder corporation run government. They have the right to be angry as do I. October 24, 2007 8:57 PM Anonymous said... exactly. if they were wealthy teenagers from RB--they probably need the stuff more than illegal immigrants without a home trying to gain something when everyone else has lost.
