News Melange: ICE, Fidel, Rodney King
From the Good News/Bad News Department: The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, affectionately known as ICE, announced that as of September 5, 2010 it had apprehended 506,232 illegal aliens over the course of about 10 months. That’s about 50,623 bad guys and gals per month nabbed by the agency, which is pretty outstanding enforcement.
That’s the good news.
The bad news about ICE, which could also be termed the TBA, for Teats on a Bull Agency, is that they also announced they had released 506,232 illegal aliens who are now no longer considered illegal aliens but rather fugitive aliens.
ICE/TBA takes a curious approach to law enforcement and fulfilling its mission; its approach is founded on placing trust in its apprehendees.
In effect, our federal agents say to the criminal, illegal aliens, “Now, you be good, okay? Just show up on the appointed day so we can have a hearing and deport you. Got that?” The illegals gladly say, “Si, senor!” and are never seen or heard from again,. . .

Payback and Rodney King Redux in Oakland
Payback and Rodney King Redux in Oakland
The Rodney King case is almost 20 years old. King, a drunk pothead, was beaten almost senseless by both black and white LAPD cops after he resisted arrest on March 3, 1991 following a high speed chase.
King was tasered repeatedly but kept getting to his feet and resisting arrest. The ensuing beating by the LAPD to get him to cooperate was videotaped by a bystander. That videotape resulted in the deaths of 53 innocent people in the ensuing riots.
The police officers involved were exonerated by a state jury of their peers but then re-tried in federal court on charges of civil rights violations. Two of the cops were found guilty and sent to prison and two were acquitted.
Prior to the federal convictions and following the state exoneration, Los Angeles blacks erupted in what have been called the 1992 L.A. riots during which the Army, the Marines, and the National Guard were called out. Nevertheless, 53 people died, 2383 were injured, 7000 fires were set, 3100 businesses were attacked, and over a billion dollars in damages resulted.
Fast forward to 2010. . .
