Man....You get posters remorse faster than anyone I've seen. One step ahead of the moderators?


Just decided you're not worth it. But, if you're offended, the offer is still open. Care to take me up on it?

Just to change the thrust, Dennis - are you saying you agree with the original post from Jan?

I thought yours was good. If you weren't so overly defensive, you would have seen that.

Done. We're taking away from the real reason for this thread - which was Jan's disgusting post.

I think Bomberos (Firefighters) are special bread. They have this calling and referverance for humanity most of us simple folk will never know.

Let us not forget the other who come across to "help"
:mad:
We have enough of our own citizens who show up during disasters to loot and steal, Mexico can keep these scum-bags.


Quote:
Six undocumented Mexican nationals were arrested today by U.S. Border Patrol agents at Qualcomm Stadium, after a report that they were stealing food and water meant for evacuees, according to spokesman Damon Foreman.

The Los Angeles Times reports that San Diego police responded to a call about alleged theft from the evacuation center and encountered six people in a van who didn't speak English and didn't have California driver's licenses, Foreman said.

The police officers called the Border Patrol, who arrived at the stadium and made the arrests, he said. Foreman said the immigrants admitted they were Mexican citizens and that they were stealing.

I don't think it means anything real. It's just easy and quick but only has high school shock value.

Hey Roberto....Sorry I said "Bite Me." I didn't mean anything by it. I think we were both on the same page in this thread.

Dont you old farts have anything better to do than argue about how right each of you are about everything? I always tell people from outside places to come to this board because it is a helpful tool for information on Baja. Now most of the posts I read are of someone attacking someone elses comments, because they are not 100% accurate, politically correct, or whatever. chit, I would be scared to post anything in fear of being completely scrutinized by someone who "knows all about Baja". It sounds worse than Bloodydecks. I would say that if you dont like someones comment, then dont say anything at all, but I think ill just leave this board instead. Its like a warzone on this board. Have fun tearing eachother apart!

I really don't know why some of you are jumping down Gypsy Jans throat about this, she was merely pointing out that the media is not covering the TJ firefighter aid, shes not asserting that the aid does not happen!!
When I lived in San Diego for a few years while I was at SDSU I noticed how blinkered the US news media were too, anything north and south of the border (let alone European news) and it was barely touched on!

It has been covered by the press. Go back a page in this thread and read the post by elgatoloco. I havn't as yet seen anything in the San Diego Union but I havn't looked for two days. If they missed the story, it would have to be because of the huge distraction. That paper seldom misses a human interest story with regards to Mexico / US interaction.
Jan's post was poorly worded, that's all. She shouldn't get beat up forever for that.
