Being illegal has nothing to do with the death of that bike rider, being drunk does. How horrible that you dare disgrace and dishonor the memory of someone by spinning it for your own racist propaganda. The issue there is drinking, not immigration. What if the motorist was a drunkard of Irish, German, or Italian heritage? Would you be anti Irish, anti German or anti Italian? No, you wouldn’t. Maybe you should campaign to deport beer, not Mexicans.

Apparently I missed the memo that says that non citizens are more inclined to drive drunk than citizens. After all, no God fearing ‘Merican has ever killed anyone while driving under the influence. Flimsy argument, sir. I suggest you go back to the drawing board and hatch some ideas that aren’t thinly veiled racist rhetoric.

So you don’t think we have an illegal immigration problem here in the SCV? Keller’s just a racist and to be made fun of? He didn’t get where he did today by being a racist. You liberals are so afraid of being politically correct that you publicly slam officials that dare to speak the truth. I wonder how you would feel about this if your Son or Daughter was killed in a vehicle accident caused by a drunk illegal on Newhall Ranch Rd. I bet you would change your opinion. Oh wait…the bike rider that was killed by a drunk illegal not long ago. I guess you wouldn’t change after all. That’s just frightening!

“Chris Knights says:
Ferry was the only brave CC member to state he’s against racism and for a strong enforcement of immigration law. He got booed. Give me a break, the room was full of closet racists.”

I’d read IHeart earlier. Are you referring to the pronunciation?

It’s always most important to take ourselves as seriously as possible (not). That is one of the fun things about the interaction on these blogs. Generally good discussion of the topics but one can always pull the keyboard out to hammer those that recklessly stray.

I view this whole Kellar thing as much ado about nothing. I think Bob has been a bright light on the Council for several years (the only one besides Boydston)(he voted to bid the trash hauling contract and disapproved of the offfice expansion at Mayo) and I respect him for his availability, openness and commitment (even though he can be a bit too motherhood and apple pie.

But it is very interesting to see the politicians and hopefuls jockey for position and cover. It shows who has a spine to stand up on their own and who doesn’t.
