Re: Yes, they're making a big mistake. They could even be arrested and put in jail. It's for their own good... Clue: Pointed Protest Twice crucified, a white supremacist wants more Gregory Withrow wants to end the war in Iraq, close international borders, and secure the release of Aryan "political prisoners" convicted of hate crimes in California. To further his goals, and to "spread ideas of racism and atheism," Withrow decided to crucify himself on the steps of the California State Capitol building in Sacramento this Feb. 5. The "counter-crucifixion" failed when "armed forces" in the form of Capitol Police took away his hammer and nails, but not before Withrow's assistant had already hammered the first six-inch nail through one of Withrow's palms and into the board below. Withrow had a permit for his protest, but he violated state law by deliberately injuring himself, explained State Capitol Permit Officer Keith Troy. [...] splcenter.org

Re: They could even be arrested and put in jail. Vigilantism is not allowed -- period. "Period"?! LOL... Make that an ellipsis! You're right, Searle: vigilantism is not merely allowed --it's welcomed! It's hailed! Wetbacks, illegals and other greasers will soon meet their Nemesis --TERMINATOR!!! Schwarzenegger backs Minutemen Dan Glaister in Los Angeles Monday May 2, 2005 The Guardian A controversial project by a group of armed private Americans to patrol the border with Mexico has received an unexpected boost from California's governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Twice last week the Austrian-born actor-turned-politician praised the Minuteman project in Arizona, saying it was an understandable response to the failure of the federal government to patrol the border. He said the group would be welcome to patrol California's border with Mexico. His comments came just a week after he said the border with Mexico should be "sealed". He subsequently withdrew the remarks. Mr Schwarzenegger told a Los Angeles radio station last Thursday that the Minuteman group had done a "terrific" job. "They've cut down the crossing of illegal immigrants a huge percentage. So it just shows that it works when you make an effort. It's just that our federal government is not doing their job." The next day he reinforced his praise for the group, condemned as "vigilantes" by George Bush. "When the government ... doesn't do its job, then the private citizens go out and it's like a neighbourhood patrol." The Minutemen spent April patrolling a 23-mile stretch of the border in Arizona. Their aim, organisers said, was to spot and report suspected illegal migrants. The group claimed to have helped the capture of almost 350 people. Mr Schwarzenegger's comments were condemned by Democrats, immigrants' rights groups, the Mexican government and some Republicans. "The hypocrisy of the governor is incredible," Mark Silverman of the Immigrant Legal Resource Centre told the San Francisco Chronicle, pointing out that Mr Schwarzenegger had admitted working illegally when he first entered the US. The Mexican foreign ministry reminded him that Mexico was California's largest export market. guardian.co.uk Don't mess with him: cryptogon.com img6.exs.cx
