What I don't get is this: The majority of you are commenting because these guys are mexican, and illegal immigrants. And its not just a few people, it's the majority. That's how all of these threads are, when it comes to drugs, we all know that illegal immigrants and mexicans are responsible for it much of the time. Same with rapes, robberies, etc.

I notice this same attitude when talking with friends and family in real life. Even some of my mexican friends are sick of the illegals and drug runners giving them a bad name.

So.... since a majority of you of comment on it and want something done about it, why isn't it done? I would venture to guess that a majority of Oregonians feel they are tired of seeing all these illegal immigrants committing crimes day after day, and they want to do something about it. But when a public light is shown on them, they DENY IT. Why? Because apparently being called a racist is the most horrible thing in the world. Apparently most people don't want the other people to call them racist publicly, by people who secretly share the same views.

What I am saying is, instead of signing up for some messageboard anonomously, stand up and DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. DONT BE AFRAID TO BE THE FIRST PERSON TO CROSS THE CROSSWALK, THE OTHERS WILL FOLLOW!

And by "do something" I don't mean something illegal or bad, I mean start pressuring our local government to stop this!! They're trying to get your votes and maybe if you used this power wisely, something would get done.

What's he whining about? If you snuck into Iran or China and got caught stealing, you'd be killed. We're just deporting him. He'll swim back.

This is exactly why this sort of thing happens all the time. He was let off lightly the first time, then the 2nd time he killed someone. Now, three years later, he'll be back on the streets doing it again.

This is what's wrong with this state. If he would have stolen money from some company or had some weed on him, he would be doing some real time.

You've got to be a troll. So we stop producing weapons in this country, cutting out tens of thousands of people out of jobs, destroying entire communities, and then we'll have to pay more money to outside countries to arm our police and military? And then the criminals get their hands on the guns anyway (which we both know they will) and victimize even more people since they're unarmed. Brilliant solution you have there, I'm glad you're not in charge of anything important.

This is just asinine.

I'm not a smoker and I never have been, so I'm saying this as a non smoker: GET OFF THEIR BACKS. It's like they keep forcing smokers around like a herd of sheep and marginalize them everywhere. I couldn't care less if someone is smoking in a park, just like I dont care if someone urinates in the ocean. The likelihood of my breathing in any smoke is so small... it's just stupid.

I'm against it because I think it's just another form of government control. Slowly it just keeps getting worse and worse, little by little. We are the toads in pot of boiling water folks.

And chewing tobacco?? Can someone explain to me how some guy walking with chew in his mouth is going to give my kids cancer?

Wow, this isn't something you read about every day. Usually winning the lottery is a fast track to a ruined life (seriously look it up). This guy shows the type of people who actually deserve to win. Good on him!

Sorry starshadow but you don't have to be a "news crew" to get refunded the money you paid, it's the law. Besides, do you really think they identified themselves as reporters? I doubt it.

Considering your demonstrated intellect, I am not surprised that you doubt it. Not surprised at all.

Actually spoken from someone who lived there for thirty years. I left in 1999 because of what the town had become.

Nice try.

I'm guessing both. That place is a wasteland. Mexicans and meth heads run Forest Grove now, and it's sad considering the rich culture and history of the town.
