Man Assaulted Tuesday Near Waterfront

My usual simple request - could anyone investigate and report immigration status of the perpetrators (regardless of race) and help us citizens make informed decisions? I ask in the interest of more complete reporting, or is it too un-politically correct to ask for information? Since we can't get this information from the Police, or officials, it would be helpful if the media could do the investigative reporting they are paid to do.

Before I am once again labeled a racist for wanting to know facts, allow me to say that regardless of race, last name, or views on whether or not illegal immigration should be tolerated, this information helps us to know if it contributes to our local crime problem or not. We are in the dark, which means people are left to make assumptions one way or the other, (i.e. illegal immigration contributes to crime, or illegal immigration does not contribute to crime). There is nothing that contributes to racism more than ignorance and lack of factual information, which leads people to make assumptions and false accusations. I only ask for facts, facts are important to the citizenry, the ability of a democracy to make accurate instead of knee-jerk decisions, and factual and complete reporting is the responsibility of journalism.

I want the same information regardless of race of the perpetrators or their last name. We have a serious and escalating crime problem here. Anyone else care to get to the facts besides myself? Anyone else question why we are being kept in the dark? Does anyone else wonder why it is "taboo" to report a criminal's immigration status when the result of this fear of offending someone could be the very safety of walking the streets of our city?

I am a Republican, I am WHITE, I was born in America, I PAY my taxes, I speak, read and write in ONLY ENGLISH. I am NOT PC correct. I have a BALD head and wear BDU's and Military boots.
I guess that makes me a racist. We have an out of control problem with the LATINO Community and their gang-affiliated children. The problem starts at home with their parents and ends when we bury their children. Addressing the GANG members themselves is a waste and will only lower the respect they already don't have for the US Government and all other affiliation with LAW and Justice. The two (2) LATINOS ON ONE WHITE, shows the lack of responsiblity we hold the elders of the Latin Community. We hold them (Mothers, FATHERS and Grand-Parents) accountable for the way they refuse to raise their children and educate them in a more AMERICAN way of life or we continue to BODY-BAG their ofsprings or imprison them.
Same ol, same ol.

I'm certain, dou4now, that you are not a racist because you are Republican, white, born in America, pay your taxes, speak, read, and right only in English, or are "NOT PC correct." Additionally, being bald, with tighty whities and Military boots doesn't make you racist (although I hope you are comfortable in that get-up).

What makes you a racist is your reductive and cartoonish analysis of the complex problems of racial politics, sociology, and assimilation within immigrant and minority populations.

You abandon the very idea of dialogue and conversation as tools with which to work at these issues, and apply an all-purpose solution of "holding them accountable" -- a slogan, not a course of action -- while tarring a diverse array of citizens as a homogeneous group; the very definition of racism.

What you've branded as the Latino community, implying an orthodox, pheno- and genotype ripe for your dissection and Malthusian solutions, doesn't exist.

These are my friends and neighbors you so reflexively condemn and loathe, and I feel sorry you really can't see them. They are just like "us."

As always, Binky uses big words, tries to sound like an intellectual, but her logic always falls apart. She is naive and dangeous in her will to be politically correct and accepted by those who are different from her.

The subject of the complaint is latino or hispanic criminals and gang members, which far outnumber criminals and gang members of any other race in this town. If they are just like "us" or "we" are just like them, referring to yourself, I assume binky, (whose race is presumably white) then I suggest you turn yourself in for roaming the streets late at night vandalizing, tagging and looking for victims to stab and beat..

As I always say, nobody has a problem with legal immigrant hispanic and latino citizens who obey the law. Wanting to know the nationality (not race) of the perpetrators is a legitimate question, and is not racist. Wanting to know how much the tolerance of illegal immigration contributes to the problem is not racist. We all have neighbors and friends that are hispanic or latino. To put them in a class or "community" as you do is truly seperatist and racist. Why do you use words like "Latino community" if you consider yourself not to be separate from them? To you, they are a "them" a separate community - not neighbors and friends.

I am not racist, ask any of my black, asian, latino or hispanic friends and coworkers. I am a Nationalist and I am against out of control disorderly immigration that contributes to poverty, an exploited and oppressed class of people, cheats those who come here legally and contributes to crime because of the imported gang mentality and culture. It is based on loyalty to Mexico and disrespect for the culture and laws of the USA. Why do you think the number 13 appears in so many gang names? MS13 the Goleta 13? Because "M" or Eme (for Mexico) is the 13th letter of the alphabet.

Are these the neighbors and friends you speak so highly of Binky? The ones that would rape you cut off your head and throw you in the creek when you look at them wrong? Certainly the majority of "hispanics" or "latinos" are not like this, but they are not the ones we speak of, or have issue with. Lumping the hispanics or latinos that are your law abiding friends and neighbors into the same category as outlaws with allegiance to Mexico is TRULY racist and would surely offend your neighbors and friends in the "latino community".
