Also, from whence the accusation that I am in the "open borders crowd?" I hope the borders are secure in the short term, but in the long term the nation state appears to be in decline as a form of governance. Huge masses of people live as refugees. Nationalism is giving way to localism. Metanarratives splinter into fragments. The citizen declines while the nomad consumer rises.

Why are you playing the race card again? It doesn't matter what these murderers' race is! What matters is that they entered the country illegally, and already had been arrested before the murders! ANYONE arrested should have their background checked to determine if they are even in this country legally. If they are not, they should be deported, unless they are going to be persecuted, and jailed.

Anyone who is not angry about this (you?), I suppose does not care about people being murdered. |

I thought you were in the camp that thought the film makers had the story correct as far a BY's involvement. If I misunderstood you then I apologize.
Nice to know we agree on somethings. The film makers are protraying what may be fiction at best and are presenting a biggoted film at worst. A conservative and liberal can agree on some things. |

I didn't say you were in the open borders crowd. I said "open borders crowd, and people like you..." see that comma there?! |
