So much for a law-abiding populace...
What do you expect when the cops demonstrate lawlessness?
And people like you praise it?

If anybody turns him into a hero, it won't be because he broke the law. That will be overshadowed by the police brutality.
It will be the police who turned him into the "hero", if that even happens.

I guarantee he will not be a hero. This would only be an issue in the granola state. If this were Nebraska or Kansas, everyone would have applauded the police. Only in California would this punk be a hero.

Two sentences. Just TWO sentences.
That's all it took for Alias to go from "I guarantee he will not be a hero" to "Only in California would this punk be a hero."...

TWO sentences is all it took for alias to contradict himself.

Let me clarify.....

To the majority of Americans, he will be a punk.

To the granola heads in California, he will be a hero.

In other words, he is a punk. California is only part of America for laughs.

And thus, alias AGAIN pretends to know the minds of others when he doesn't have a clue.

I haven't met anybody yet that thinks of him as a "hero"...

As usual, you deride California ignoring the HUGE benefits that come from the state...

The economy of California is a dominant force in the economy of the United States, with California paying more to the federal system than it receives in direct monetary benefits.

Agriculture (including fruit, vegetables, dairy, and wine) is a major California industry. In 2004 agriculture brought in $31.8 billion in revenue, making it more than twice the size of any other states' agriculture industry. In fact, California is the world's fifth largest supplier of food and agriculture commodities.[1] Agriculture accounts for just slightly over 2% of California's $1.55 trillion gross state product.

According to the California Legislative Analyst's Office, if California were an independent nation, it would have had the sixth largest economy in the world[10].

California is responsible for 17% of the United States' gross domestic product (GDP).

Per capita personal income was $33,403 as of 2003, ranking 12th in the nation.

California's overall tax burden of $10.66 per $100 of personal income is slightly above the $10.43 average for the United States.[16]
Economy of California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

California kicks ass.
What state do you live in and how does it "perform"?

Oh yeah. That's why so many are leaving and coming up here to eastern Washington. The only ones moving to California are the ones from Mexico. The Americans are moving out in droves.

People move in and out of states all the time.
California is growing even without the illegal immigrants...

And on another note, it's hilarious how somebody (was it you?) points out in another thread that America has to be great because so many people want to live here, but when it comes to California the fact that people move here from Mexico is somehow a negative thing.

You have no stats to back up your statements.

I see nothing hiliarious in the fact that it is true that Mexicans are risking their lives every day to get into America. I also see nothing hilarious that Americans are so fed up with the illegal immigrants coming into California that they are moving out because of high taxes and fees to take care of them. Your comprehension deficit is kicking in again I see.

No. Your comprehension incapacity is kicking in again.
I didn't say that it was hilarious to see Mexicans risking their lives.
I didn't say it was hilarious that Americans were fed up.

Try to respond without using a really pathetic strawman argument, and then blaming me because you can't get it right...

Are you talking to yourself again?

The stats are want to see are the stats that more Americans are moving to California than out. I say more are moving out than in.
