people are taking note at Mayor Boughton's public silence to this date regarding this matter. Many in the area and across the state are also taking a close look at all the racist and bigoted comments that have popped up on the News-Times board that accompanied the article. I mean, I'm getting bombarded with emails and IM messages from people who couldn't believe what they were read from the idiots who flood the the News-Times site. That coupled with a recent outright racist, disgusting, and incredibly ignorant post on other "so-called" local site (if you can call it that) from a person who's apparently an insensitive low-life jackass that still has his blogging "training wheels" on, exposes a great deal about a segment of our community that should be ashamed of themselves.
I can only hope that cooler heads will prevail and that a speedy investigation is done so we can get to the bottom of whatever happened Friday night. Unlike most idiots (who shouldn't be allowed a keyboard) who have put their two cents into this matter (thus exposing yet again the bigotry in this city), I won't comment on this matter simply because (like many) I wasn't there and don't know the details...it's that simple. If you didn't witness anything, or (more importantly), weren't at the event, then simply STFU.
As for those who claim that "we're only against the illegal immigrants," or don't think the label racist is appropriate to describe them, I have one thing to say...whatever.
One could only hope that someone didn't copy and paste all the messages that popped up on the News-Times board today as it would bring great embarrassment to a great city that already has a dark cloud over itself due to the actions of a shrieking minority of anti-immigrant, moronic, political puppets who apparently taught any common sense.
Hat tip to Elizabeth Putnam for weeding out the crap...man, she's having a long week monitoring the boards and it's only Tuesday!
