If you say so. The one weekend I spent in SA, I didn't find any Tex-Mex to be much of a much, but then we spent most of the time at or near the fkn riverwalk, so maybe not the best place to sample.

An all this time, I thought voting Republican was a clear indicator of future dangerousness to society.

Quijano? Is that a Messican name? What's their predilection for violence? I'd be worried about being in the same room with that guy.

Someting tells me Mr. Quijano may be too brown for Jefferson.

Oh, there's nothing good around the riverwalk. That's all tourist food.

Well, we are talking about illegal immigrants, so you know ISIS is involved somehow.

Makes me wonder...Defence lawyer knows his guy is probably going to get the needle no matter what. Knows that the expert witness is a racist loon. Throws him up there anyway. Incompetent or seeding an appeal?

I know nothing of this case other than what is contained within this article. But I generally don't let facts get in the way of my firmly held thoughts.

At the risk of indicting myself before any court, I think white people are more dangerous. Historically speaking.

True, most of us have calmed the fuck down since the shitloads of wars in Europe's history (plus a few genocides), and the Euro-American genocide of Native Americans, etcetera. Then, too, whiteys from the US to Russian remain locked-and-cocked on thousands of nukes, and support the worldwide trade in arms.

Individually, though, it's unreasonable to generalize from the specific to the whole. Just being a white guy doesn't mean I'm going to tank the world economy. Or blow up the fed building in Oklahoma. Or not pay my taxes and become president. A few bad apples, is what I'm saying, your honor.
