Only violence against Guatemalans is intolerable
So in today's Standard Times the mayor says that hate crimes will not be tolerated. Apparently some kid stabbed a Guatemalan man the other day. People get stabbed here all the time. Sometimes they get shot even. But I guess that can be tolerated because people don't count, only certain kinds of people count. Or only certain people who will get you some kind of headline that makes you proud of yourself as a supposed hippie do-gooder count. Well New Bedford is full of crime that goes unchecked every day. But we can ignore all that. If you really weren't racist, you'd want everyone to be treated equally meaning everyone who is the victim of a crime should feel the support of the community not specific members of the community who may or may not be part of the community legally. What's right and what's wrong compared to the law and what the law enforcement people seem to think are laws around here seem to be up to individual opinion. Go ahead and prosecute the hell out of this kid and then prosecute the hell out of everyone else who is victimizing innocent people in this craphole of a city. I am sick to death of double standards and corruption.
