My answer to you is in Post #26.
I have been shown stereotypes are wrong enough times so as not to believe them.
I don't carry guns or live in fear.
Being a senior, I lead a prudent--but far from isolated--life. My adult children call me the busiest person they know.
I agree that stereotyping people is wrong. All I am suggesting is that there is a difference between unfairly stereotyping people and using wise discernment. My only intention is to ask clarifying questions to better understand your point of view so that hopefully we can find a middle ground. At least, respectfully disagree. Based on the responses provided, would it then be accurate to say that it is wrong for women to be afraid when a homeless man approaches them at night? I would say that she is not stereotyping people, she is using wise discernment for her own protection. Can we at least agree on that?

Just so I understand correctly, for Fantine to be upset with people posting individual crimes about legal citizens, they better be trans or gay?

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has put out a detainer for his arrest following his likely release by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. However, the Golden State’s sanctuary laws lead to questions about whether the state will adhere to that detainer. CDCR does typically cooperate with ICE detainers.
Before the tragedy, Ortega-Anguiano had multiple felonies on his record, as well as several convictions for driving without a license. Border czar Tom Homan vowed on Fox News to honor the detainer and swiftly place him into federal custody upon his release.

I don't understand the liberal approach to crime.
What’s the point of this thread?

It may be "disgusting," but it's also "anecdotal."

Constant postings about individual crimes committed by individuals who happen to be immigrants are an attempt to instill hatred and prejudice on everyone in a demographic group based on the actions of a few criminals.

Show me real statistics from a credible news source. If I see a statistic like "37% of rapes in Chicago are committed by undocumented immigrants" I will take notice.

But when I see post after post after post about what one person did one time--and, BTW, that person is an undocumented immigrant--I get angry.
Yeah I don’t even know what the purpose of this thread is. Are we supposed to be appalled by the fact that the guy killed someone in an auto accident? Are we supposed to be appalled because someone speculates that California might not comply with the order? Or are we supposed to be appalled that the guy driving the car was an immigrant? I agree with you 100%! The fact is that American citizens kill more people and commit more crimes than any other demographic in America. That fact is indisputable.

We're supposed to be appalled at immigrants, and then at Dems who are apparently soft on crime, as if Republicans don't have their own pardoning-felon-in-chief.

The major media plays down violence by transgenders and illegals and gives little time to the trafficked women and children the Biden administration lost track of. Victims continue to suffer and deserve our empathy and attention. "There but for the grace of God go I."
You do realize that on average 109 people die in auto accidents every single day in America, right? Why the sympathy for the victim’s family who was killed by an immigrant? What about the other 40,000+ families per year?

Unfortunately the hypocrisy runs deep in both political parties.

The goal is to prevent as many tragedies as possible. Allowing hardened criminals to roam free is irresponsible, and many of the deaths were preventable.

Yes, exactly. For the party that cries "Nobody is above the law." Why then do so many democrats turn a blind eye to illegal immigrants scum that comes here to cause harm?

Why then do so many democrats turn a blind eye to illegal immigrants scum In particular it seems to be the ones who commit further crimes while here. It's almost like the "bad boy" syndrome where girls fall for the local thugs or some women flock to the cons in prison.

Because the vast majority don’t “come here to cause harm.” They come here to work, embodying the very American spirit that your lot once claimed to value.

Oompa was speaking of those who do come here to commit crimes. They are too often tolerated and protected by the anti-MAGA crowd.

See, due process is how we distinguish who are here to cause harm and who are not. Due process is the American Way (or has been up to now).

They come in illegally - misdemeanor
They come in again - felony
They murder of kill someone - felony

They should be jailed and then deported.

Yeah but your threads always revolve around immigrants, not just criminals in general. Why post specifically about immigrant criminals instead of all criminals?
