Please note.  This post is not intended to anger, incite or insult
anyone.  However, the events described did happen and were reported
briefly but was suddenly squelched.  Only local sports talk shows
carried dialogue from the "sports" talk station & callers.

                U.S. / Mexico Soccer or Mexican Hatred!
     In a recent soccer game between the U.S. team and Mexico in the
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, hispanics became downright ugly, for
when the U.S. National Anthem was played over the PA, practically 90%
(or 90,000) of the hispanics booed to a point of near drowning out the
National Anthem!
     Such behavior at best is poor sportsmanlike conduct.  In addition,
> urine bombs < were thrown at the American players.  Other American
Soccer fans were hit by full and empty beer cans, coins and trash.
This was just in the beginning.
     As an insult to injury; poor taste and anti-American sentiment
was evident and the Mexican flag was displayed in the crowd.  One can
expect some crappy behavior on the part of a few drunks, but this mass
of people sends a signal.
     As I remember, we underwent a battle in the Dornan / Sanchez race.
I personally witnessed her tactics as 2 of their spanish speaking
supporters jumped from a car and trashed and stole Dornan signs from my
front yard, just 8 feet from the sidewalk.  That's a violation of Cal
Penal 602PC, felony trespass.  The police did nothing again at that
time.
     In light of the committee rejection of the case against Sanchez &
supporters in campaign illegalities, a very clear signal was sent out
that it was OK to trash American Rights, and now it is OK to be
disrespectful of the American Flag and our National Anthem.  This to me
is intolerable.  Add to this the possible transfer of diseases via the
bodily elimination of the people of foreign allegiance.
     When my own family came over from Europe and England through Ellis
Island and elsewhere, the allegiance to former countries of origin
ceased and our family has been loyal to death for the United States of
America.  I just happen to be the last living male member of my family
in my generation.  This because most of our men died fighting for the
US.  As someone previously noted, when the Hispanic immigrates were
asked as to whether they would serve in the armed forces in a time of
National emergencies, their response was that they would go back to
Mexico.  This is just dandy.
Shalom & Maranatha

...... a sovereign nation of many sovereign states?  I wonder.  I feel
that if you live here and partake of the system, you must either
respect the country or get the heck out!!!!!!!  (snarl)
