What part of illegal immigrants do you not understand, pendejo? Obviously the illegal part.

Just back from Phoenix.
Did someone say wasteful? Local paper there reports that Sheriff Joe sent 200 deputies to arrest nine suspected undocumented persons at a car wash last week.
One local businesswoman said Maricopa County's joke and his jolly men often arrest dark-skinned people who do not have green cards. The problem is that Pima, Navajo, Yaqui and Apache folks have no need for green cards otherwise.
Another businessman, who now carries his citizenship papers because he is of Arabian ancestry, told me that Sheriff Joe has been bad for everyone's business, except maybe those who sell pink jumpsuits, sox, and boxers.

Gringo, guess on your trip to Phoenix, you must have had your green card with you, or Sheriff Joe would have had you on the fast trac back to old Mexico. I don't suppose your contact there was one of those business owners who likes to use that cheap alien labor? As far as being a joke, Sheriff Joe must be doing something right, since he just keeps getting elected over and over again without any real challenges. Wonder if that speaks for the sentiment of the majority of people in Maricopa County. In conclusion, just let me note that if the Federal Government did their job with illegal aliens, Sheriff Joe would not have to do it for them. Bill Hunt can learn a lot by hanging out with the likes of Sheriff Joe.

Mike: And what part of $40 million in lawsuits incurred because Joe can't take care of his jails do you not understand? Oh, wait: all those other sins are fine because Joe goes after wabs. You're an apologist of the worst kind.
Ltpar: What I said to Mike, but less heated since you're usually spot-on in regards to the Agran machine's waste of cash--so why not the same scrutiny of Joe?

Carona loved Arpayaso. And Hunt was once his boy.

They're all a bunch of culeros!

Sheriff Joe keeps winning elections. Guess you do not like the democratic process and free elections, so typical for a mexicans where graft and corruption are predisposed genetic traits.

Art, you are not an American nor are you a Republican. You're a mexican. Ditto for mechista scumbag racist Arellano.

Funny how pure ad hominem tries to represent itself as legitimate journalism. No wonder the Weakling is kept afloat by prostitute ads. They are the only ones willing to pay for this shitrag.

I'm disgusted.. with you Gustavo..

What happened to that funny guy we always read? Is "Ask a Mexican" getting militant too? And for whom? Drug lords?

Better to fight IN MEXICO.. for those illegals - than here... isn't that the only way things will change for your countrymen?

Sheriff Joe is fighting those WONDERFUL DRUG LORDS..

I'm sure you'd like them to take over America too.

To - PETIT BOURGOUIS

Fabulouso baby. thank you, thank you, thank you..

Let the TRUTH BE TOLD.

Petit: Where did I dispute Arpayaso's election? And "Weakly"--REAL ORIGINAL. Also, I suggest you actually see the ads we run and see that, like most things you write, you have no clue nor any foothold in reality.
V: Where did I defend drug lords? Does the end justify the means for you, even if innocent people have died in Maricopa County jails under Arpayaso's watch? If so, I pity you.

I never said anything about drug lords. Now you are being disingenuous misrepresnting my position and smearing me. You love to throw out a red herring thinking I am ignorant of mexican history.

Before cartels there was Zedillo and Cardenas, Zapata and Villa and all of the Aztec kings before them. I am talking intergenerational, historic, and genetic predisposition to governmental corruption (I wont mention human sacrifice as that is off topic). It is a facet of mexican life you cannot deny, so stop being a pissant denier.

You cannot deny that the mordida is ingrained within the society. You just suffer from intellectual graft when you defend the invasion, like a good useful idiot supporting your mechistas and their racist manifesto.

You criticize someone who is legitimately elected like Arpaio with ad hominem and a virulent passion. That makes you a despot. You HATE when someone like Sheriff Joe gets elected year after year, because you are a fringe character tyrant, disconnected with mainstream America.

The only person you hate more than Sheriif Joe is Barbara Coe.

If you want an honest discussion of the mexican race, let's start here:

http://www.lacountymurders.com/wanted_suspects.cfm

Yeah, there is the token vietnamese guy, but you get the picture, comrade. It is a reality you deny every day. We know who the pendejos are when they write shitty, intellectually bankrupt and personal attack smear blog posts like this one.

"Petit: Where did I dispute Arpayaso's election?"

You didn't. You just hate the white people who elected him. You are pretty brazen in your racism. It is out in the open, at least.

Petit: You're not paying attention. I never accused you of the drug lord bit; I threw that at the commentator who called themselves V. You can look it up. Everything you write after that is a load that says more about your character than Mexicans. I "hate white people"...my god, you sound just like Marty Cox!

And you're right: it does pain me that people support Arpaio, especially so-called conservatives like yourself, because it shows me that there are many people who are more than willing to ignore endemic corruption as long as their political will is being done. And that, comrade, is despotism at its worst.

despotism in invasion by your countrymen? spoken like a true leftist. this is halloween and you have lost your mind. you hate white poeple. just as obama loves reverend wright, you hate white people with your rasist mechista organization, time for you to come to terms with yourself, like lester maddox, you racist motherfucker.

Hmm. Twice, you have been proven wrong in the course of your comments yet have not bothered to admit your errors. Instead, you plow forward, digging yourself into an even more crass, more moronic cave and proving the point of my post better than I ever hoped for. And then, you compare me to a white supremacist when it's your rants about supposed essentialisms of the Mexican character that put you in his universe. Congrats, petit: you're now as funny as Barbara Coe, your homophobic Birfer racist of an intellectual godmother! But at least she never has resorted to curse words. Say hola to Jeff Schwilk for me!

When Hunt ran against Carona he came to a meeting of the Central Committee of the Democratic Party of Orange County and said very plainly that he did not believe the OC Sheriff should be involved in immigration issues.

He was either lying then or he's lying now. In any case, the man is a bald-faced liar.

Howard:

Hunt isn't necessarily espousing a position on Illegal Immigration.

Perhaps he is stating the jail budgets could be slashed by serving baloney sandwiches and taking away uncalled for privileges from ANY inmate at County, Black, White, or Brown.

Gustavo, I am not rhe one who belonged to a student organization that proclaimed death to the "brutal gringo invader." Your racism towards whites, especially geriatrics, is well known. You have already dug your hole, comrade. Your associations speak for themselves, and this blog post is nothing more than an venemous attack upon Sheriff Joe, a legitimately elected public officer, who has more balls than ANY OC Sheriff.

Fuck you!

Read the details of the race ("la raza") invasion here, comrades:

http://www.ocsd.org/media/crime_bulletins/wanted/

You are not interested in the truth gustavo. You are an idiot.

gustavo is like obama, who sat in a racist Rev. Wright's church for 20 years proclaiming hatred towards whites. Gustavo sat at his local racist outfit MEChA for years at Chapman University, yet he denies he is a racist despite the racist manifestoes read at every meeting. You are not fooling anyone. You hate sheriff Joe because he actually enforces the law, and you want murder, anarchy and tyranny. Just look at the most wanted lists I gave you for LA and OC counties. How do you explain that? Those are the people you are defending, and it is unconscionable for even a pseudo-journalist such as yourself to defend murderers. Take notice how no whites are on those lists.

This article is nothing more than a hit job on Sheriff Joe.

This is the guy that all law enforcement people
across the U.S. should emulate.

He brings sensible law and order at an efficient cost to the taxpayers.

The guy that writes these articles is a border baby. You talk about how everyone else is a racist, but the only articles you write for a race is your own. Dips have it better than african americans.Your a joke.I praise Joe get those f**king illegals out!

Petit: And when there were almost-exclusively whites on the list--what's your explanation for those days? And, unlike you, I attended those Chapman MEChA meetings, the ones attended once in a while by that Holocaust survivor you slimed in a previous post. Who should I believe in judging the organization's true worth--Dean Kertes, or a whiner like yourself?

Howard be and I Stand: Like I said in my previous post, I don't even truly care about Hunt's immigration position at this point, only that he calls Arpayaso his hero. Again: delusion, or desperation?

Bob: So, you're saying all law enforcement should be a drain on taxpayers and let innocent people die unnecessary deaths in jail?

Hangemhigh: Gracias!

Gee whiz, Gustavo, you and your boy Moxley go after Carona for banging all sorts of women, using his office for personal gain, and being an all-around hypocrite. Now, you're criticizing a guy who just lost a lawsuit against Carona just because he's seeking out a bizarro-world sheriff's support.

OK, I will now remove my tongue from my cheek.

One can only wonder why Sheriff Joe has ENABLED approximately $40 million in lawsuits incurred because Sheriff Joe cannot take care of his jails.... And, here in the OC, I seem to remember that the OC Sheriff has also ENABLED millions of dollars in lawsuit settlements and court proceedings, because he/she cannot take care of the OC jail.

Is there a chance that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe and the infamous Orange County Sheriffs Carona and Hutchens, have a common strategy that involves an intentional quid pro quo (this for that) profit-sharing scheme that violates every rule of common law decency via abuse of our country's court system? It is too bad that the OC Board of Supervisors and the OC District Attorney have ignored reports of legal, financial and religious conflicts of interest. Is everyone taking part in for profit lawsuit abuse?

Something in this scenario is very wrong.... but then again in the OC, wrong acts committed by elected and/or appointed officials is ignored and swept under the rug.... in the interests of profit!

Arellano writes in regards to Pro Sherrif Joe folks that "the hatred of wabs trumps everything" and all the Arpaio apologists in this thread prove it.

Obama's DHS was right to strip Joe of his 287 (g) street patrol authorities - the program should have been discontinued in his notorious jails as well. Now the crazed sheriff is now using a desperate and dubious interpretation of state law to continue his racial profiling pendejadas.

No one has created such a climate of terror and fear in the Latino community like Sheriff Joe has done in Maricopa county. Thankfully, his time of corruption and lawlessness will come to an end soon. The chorus against arpayaso is gaining new voices everyday...

Gus, You have a problem because Arpaio is simply enforcing the laws that have been passed by both the state and the federal governments. He shows no favorites. He makes the jails a place that criminals come to to do hard time with no extras or comforts. If you don't like it because he deports those that break our laws, tough. I would love to see more "Dumb" law enforcement officers like him and will gladly vote them in all year long to get the illegals out of the states. I am sick of dealing with them and the fall out from them as I am sure a great deal of others here in California are as well. So you just sit there and whine about it, I will vote the "dumb" ones in all day long.

Mike

Mike: No, I have a problem with people dying unnecessary deaths in Arpayaso's jails, and Arpayaso costing Phoenix taxpayers more than $40 million in unnecessary lawsuits. Hey, Know Nothings: can one of you please at least try to defend those deaths and lawsuits and Arpayaso's destruction of the Constitution lest ustedes continue to prove my point again and again?

Arpaio, Hunt and their followers are the new American Taliban. They wrap themselves up in the flag and religion, stir up hate and call it patriotism. Hate gets hate. Rage on, while you can, but the writing is on the wall. The Reconquista is all but over, we're just waiting for the fat lady to sing!

Why be a racist? How could this racism be on the Yahoo page? It's all good, just get rid of all illegals and save the economy:
Dear Mr. MEXICAN President: I'm planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me.
We're planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and we'll need your help to make a few arrangements.
We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.
I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon, that I'm on my way over?
Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. Please print all Mexican government forms in English.
4. I want my grandkids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bi-lingual) teachers.
5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my grandkids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school.
7. Please plan to feed my grandkids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.
9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico, but, I don't plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably
won't make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave
me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put U S. flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.
13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.
14. I want to receive free food stamps.
15. Naturally, I'll expect free rent subsidies.
16. I'll need Income tax credits so although I don't pay Mexican Taxes, I'll receive money from the government.
17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Gov't pays $4,500 to help me buy a new car.
18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I'll get a monthly income in retirement.
I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who walk over to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that President Calderon won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.
Thank you so much for your kind help. You're the man!!!

Great Job Joooe!!! From NJ keep rounding these baby producing parasitic Hispanics and Muslims out of our Motherlan. Turuning this great nation into a Banana Republic
Cesspool. real great Hispanics running away from their countries they are cowards also.
PITIFUL race

"Petit: And when there were almost-exclusively whites on the list--what's your explanation for those days?"

Those days are BEFORE the invasion. Don't you understand what it was like before dipshits like you and your progeny like you came here? You still cannot deny why Chapman has an official charter, one that calls for the death of the "brutal gringo invader." No matter how hard you try, I am still a better journalist than you, fucktard.

Oh, so at your meeting you had a holocaust survivor to emolliate your racist organization? Does not work here in the real world einstein. Maybe that survivor of the final solution didn't read your manifesto.

You are a joke, and I am calling you out on it, fucker. Sheriff Joe is the greatest Sheriff in America. Deal with it!

Gustavo Arellano:

You are twisting my statements...and probably the facts...why doesn't that surprise me??

Petit: You REALLY need to write sloooooooowly, because your errors are becoming more and more laughable (Chapman has a charter mentioning gringo invaders? HA!). But what are we to expect from someone who supports Arpayaso? Easier to rail against wabs than justify how he let people die unnecessary deaths in Maricopa County jails, eh?

Bob: Actually, I'm not. Read your original comments, and look up the stories yourself.

Gabriel--
Profiling in Maricopa County is so bad that a citizen of Middle-Eastern ancestry runs afoul of Arpayaso and his gang, solely on the basis of his skin color. His small business is being ruined by the harassment.

Terri--
That diatribe has been all over cyberspace for weeks, if not months. No original thoughts? I answered this point-by-point to my own sister, whose Native American skin has resulted in her being mistaken for an "illegal", and she doesn't even understand Spanish (or Cherokee, for that matter).

Gustavo, you diminish the Weekly (and yourself) by filing muckraking like this. Less hyperbole = more integrity.

Same when you attack your readers, even the ones that attack you; and especially when you enhance the credibility of the knuckleheads (on either side) by engaging them and then calling them names. If this is fun for you, get a blog.

There is precious little real reporting any more, and there is only one place it's done in this county -- you've almost convinced me there aren't any...

P.S. Terrie: I don't understand the first part of your post, but the list is both incisive and presents your views with humor. (G., notice how that bit of writing makes a point without being obnoxious and disrespectful?) Nicely done.

The less the merrier, the racist illegal has a column. Why do desire more illegals? Totake over "YOUR" country?
Facts:
"Here is how they destroyed their countries," "First, turn America into a bilingual or multi lingual and bicultural country. History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar Seymour Lipset put it this way, "The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension and tragedy. Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, Lebanon—all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided."Illegal immigrants who commit sex crimes first cross the U.S. border illegally. Then they gradually commit worse crimes and are continually released back into society or deported. Those who were deported simply returned illegally again." However, the direct cost of educating the children of illegal aliens is somewhere between $29 and $35 BILLION dollars a year. You can add in another billion or two for the costs of supplemental feeding programs and other welfare benefits administered through the schools but which are off the "education costs" in the school budgets.

Gus,
I sure Hunt appreicates the free advertising!

Being bilingual or multilingual is not a bad thing or a crime.
Switzerland has three "official" languages, German, French and Romansche (a form of Vulgate Latin). Many also speak Italian and English.
Austria's official language is German, but it has been my experience that English is a close second, with French and Italian also common.
Neither of these lands appear to be falling apart.

VIVA GUSTAVO!!!

Just becasue Sheriff Joe has the balls to treat prisoners like the criminals that they are and not vacation guests means he is racist? Prison, isn't supposed to be fun. Last time I checked, he had white, black and asians in his jail too. We see how well cities that turn a blind eye to immigration work, cough, cough, Santa Ana. I work there, its a war zone. I have followed you for years and liked your somewhat fair and unbiased journalism. This is obvioulsy a lapse in judgement. I quit reading the Weekley after a few of there good writers left a few years ago.

TiredofName: Have you ever read our paper?

Terrie: STOP stealing others' rants, and make one up on your own!

Oh Really: Glad to oblige!

Sean: How can you follow me for years, yet have stopped reading the Weekly? And can you take my Arpaio challenge from above, or will you wuss out as well?

I stand with Hunt says "Hunt isn't necessarily espousing a position on Illegal Immigration."

Oh, yeah, right, and he wasn't at the Teabagger Gathering in San Juan Capistrano either. Right.

The man is a lying opportunist. He certainly won't have my support in the next election.

Ok, get all illegals out, they and you are parasites. All are racist like you, why do you want to lower the standard of living? Most are low life racist who want this land.

Also you and MECHA are: "Por la raza todo" (Everything for the race). So reads the preamble of El Plan Espiritual de Aztlán and the slogan of MEChA, the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán (Chicano Student Movement of Aztlán). Popular on some college campuses in the southwest, the racism of MEChA was on display at the recent marches in support of illegal immigration. As part of the movement to give illegal immigrants amnesty and the right to vote, the racism advanced by MEChA is also supported by groups like La Raza, whose very name tells us about its goal.

Hey people do not be afraid. We're not going to pillage and rape. And we won't enslave and indoctrinate you like your ancestors did to mine. I know that change is scary but you need not fear, just learn a little Español or Vietnamese and learn to enjoy really spicy food. We'll take care of the rest.

We are not the savages you paint us out to be. Quite the contrary, we had a highly advanced civilization that rose and fell like all civilizations including this one.

Right on Gustavo! Arriba 2012!

Gustavo. You have twice mentioned $40 Million in payouts by Maricopa County. Somebody mentioned the same argument over at you friend and fellow racist Art Pedroza's website. You see throwing out a number without comparison is meant to mislead. The number is actually $30 million between 04-07. By comparison LA County Sheriff's department paid out $100 Million durning the same period. So much for that argument don't you think?

Oh and Howard be my name. What policy has Hunt mentioned? The only thing I have heard of was that he would create a panel of activists from both sides. You my friend are the one with the character flaw.

Fact Check: Who should I believe—you, or my brother reporters at the Phoenix New Times who have tracked everything Arpaio ever since his election? Go read their stories, and get back to me!

Wow - 45 comments in and none of you arpaio apologists have offered any defense of the man besides trashing "illegals" and tossing in the Mecha card for good measure against Gustavo!

Talk about the jails...talk about the multimillion dollar lawsuits! C'mon!

PS, "El Gringo" is making some hilarious points exposing the idiot xenophobia of arpaio apologists!

`g

I have always found that people who dislike ilegal aliens are often people that have had all the opportunities available yet failed to acomplised anything in life and have to find someone to blame for their miserable existance, I came to this country ilegally about 16 years ago I'm now a legal resident finish high school and contribute the same ammount of tax money as the next person and make more money on my job as most people (none foreigners)!! I agree the usa should not allow illegal imigrants into this country but at the same time most of the problems in mexico latin america and any other country that's part of this problem can be traced back into the us in some form ( there would be no drug cartels if there was no drug market in the usa there would not be a massive imigracion from central america had not been for the usa military intervention in the area) the sad part is that most people don't realize that these are human beings kinda like the ones that came from europe looking for a better life, sorry if I have a few errors on this as I teached myself how to write read and speak in english!
I am not better than anyone, except the close minded racist people that think they are better than me.
Hasta luego putos!

Once Ilegal!

Love your statement!! My parents came here illegally many moons ago (both are now US Citizens) and both myself and 2 hermanas now have college degrees. So fuck all you Arputo lovers out there!

To All The Fucktard Sheriff Loving Bigots as seen above,

It's laughable to read your bellowing points. Go and recharge your sanctimonious batteries by watching more Fox. Go hyptonize yourself a little more with some more Rush. Go get some more wailing lessons from Beck. But try and mix in some analysis once in a while. It expands the mind and does wonders for your brain cell count.

You rant and go off in so many tangents that you lose complete control of your hateful self, of any coherent thought, of the original argument, etc. You think the world's problems are so easy to solve. You view the world with the same law-and-order myopic manner that you have been programmed with. You think it is a easy to distinguish as black and white (and you prob wish it literally would be balck and white since it would bring back Dixie).

You tired of wabs? Do something about it. But make it logical and without hyperbole, distortion, fear, lies, hatred, and vile. You may have trouble with that since it requires deep thought and introspection.

Start by taking a look at the policies your demagoues stand for. For example, you argue that wabs take away 'good paying jobs' from US citizens. Umm, ok but I don't think you will make a bee line to the nearest strawberry patch. You claim that your schools are being destroyed by little wabs. Well, how about for once voting against school funding cuts since, according to Whitney, the little cabrones are our future. You say that wabs bring down wages. Well, what do you think globalization has accomplished? Pretty much the same wage depression but on a larger scale. So when a poor farmer or laborer or sirvienta in any pinchi Latin American country suddenly see's his/her wage hit all-times lows, what the fuck do you think you are gonna get? You're are gonna get a flood of wabs because it was your pendejo ass fault to begin with and because you are willing to pay $40 for a complete day's work involving tending to your garden and your evil spawn as well. That's also what you get when you expect to buy a t-shirt at Walmart for $2.99.

Look, you bunch of hate mongrels, take a good look in the mirror and for once in your sorry ass lives, admit the truth. And you know what? Once you do that, then the rest of us Reconquista wabs will listen to you and work with you. But choose otherwise and you sorry lot of mother fucken pendejos better go rent Gangs of New York cuz there comes a tipping point when someone is gonna go American Me on your culos.

Kumbaya My Anglo-Sangron Brothers and Sisters....

Palin/Tancredo in 2012 - the best hope for the continued implosion of the Republican party (unless, of course, Arpayaso takes Tancredo's place).

New Republican party slogan: If you won't stand for something, you'll stand for anything - We currently stand for "no".

As for you Arpayaso supporters, please keep up the good work. Don't worry - nobody will catch on to your oh so subtle racism.

Cheers.

Gustave: Proudly speaking for my peeps (La Raza Blanca) I daresay our police are better than the ones who speak Spanish in any of the 30+ nations so afficted with MACHISMO and political corruption! But to be sure, I asked a Mexican! And he told me blood-curdling tales of political intrigue and drug corruption -- he even went so far as to flee Mexico and come to the United States!! He said many women had been murdered in Juarez and none of these fiendish murders had been solved! Mexico!Can you imagine someone leaving their beloved, bucolic Mexico and coming to a land full of racist gringos and racist black people? And he's not the only Mexican to come here -- I cannot be sure, but I've heard there are others!

Gustavo. Got my info from the New York Times. Not the Phoenix New Times. I read all the stories I could find. You are still wrong my friend.

FUCK RACISTS!

Bill Hunt for Sheriff!

All empires must come to an end. Current fascist fucktard intelligence levels prove 2012 is already here.

Gustavo -

While I am not a "know nothing", I will take your (race) bait:

You're not a reporter, so the guys in Pheonix can't be your "brothers." You're an opinion writer. Just like Fox News . . . "Fair and balanced."

One cannot defend deaths, which is why your query is a red-herring. Just as one cannot defend criminals who have chosen their fate of incarceration. (In that regard, one as easily may say you are defending the criminal.) And if the way criminals are incarerated is somewhat unsavory to you, perhaps you should talk with the victims of these criminals and their families. (After all, you are purportedly an advocate of certain crime victims.) Importanly, no independent court has ruled the methods of this sheriff facially unlawful or unconstitutional. That is because they are not. The methods - like using tent cities and making inmates wear pink undies is ENTIRELY lawful and constitutional.

Whether its 30M or 40M in suits is irrelevant. While there may be digressions on the periphery, and hence the lawsuits and settlements, those are bound to occur in any institution. That doesn't make the digressions palatable, but it is poor reporting to fail to put those problems into context or to compare them with other departments. Noting that lawsuits have been brought against a sheriff is irrelevant. Imprisoned criminals have little else to do but bring suits, and they do. And the so-called civil rights shops like the ACLU bring them out of course-of-habit. Again, nothing new there.

As for the "destruction of the constitution", what do you mean by that? How can anyone "defend" such a vagary? And what qualifies you to make that assertion? Are you a lawyer or a judge? Last I checked, the ONLY people that get to decide that question are guys in black robes. And to date, they have decided that the sheriff's activities are NOT destroying the constitution facially.

You should ask better questions - perhaps then you would become a reporter.

To "What A Joke"- You were your name well. Now go fuck your mamacita.

What a Joke: Oh, I'm very much a reporter--and if you don't believe it, go ask Tod Brown who dug up his sex-abuse allegation cover-up, or John Urell who exposed him as an asshole.

You're very much a Know Nothing if you're an apologist for Arpayaso. You have no knowledge AT ALL of what has happened in Maricopa County jails other than the propaganda they broadcast on Fox News. Go on and find the stories by the New Times of the people who unnecessarily died in Arpayaso's jails, died because he'd rather pour resources into his publicity stunts than actual crime fighting.

Destroying the Constitution? Go find the story of how Arpayaso jailed my drunk mick bosses, and how he had to release them AFTER A DAY because a judge ruled it illegal. How you like those nopales?

The last post was written by a top notch reporter. WOW... This trash piece was worth reading to see this man surgically remove Gustavo's balls and feed them to him on a shiny silver platter.

How does it taste GUSTAVO! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Luis: You give wabs a bad name with your ramblings—and considering wabs don't speak much English, that's saying something!

Luis,

Hijo de tu re-puta madre, ni puedes cargar los guaraches de 'Tavo, bueno pa' nada. Es verdad que la gente pendeja e imbecil existen y sobran. Que daria por tenerte y tenerlos en frente de mi, hijos de la chingada. Wait a minute, I'm sounding alot like these idiots. Sta calm, stay clam... Now aim, aim, aim....

Thank you Gustavo and the OC Weekly!!! Cannot imagine life in the OC without ethical and honest reporting relating to law enforcement, elected officials and "appointed" sheriffs. It is obvious that POLITICAL individuals would like nothing more than for ALL of OC's adults, children and employees to keep a blindfold close to them.... so truths relating to corruption are never revealed.

PLEASE OH PLEASE.... will someone please ask Sheriff Joe if Maricopa County, attorneys, law firms and/or other silent investors have received any type of kickback or favor relating to the $40 million that has been spent thus far by Sheriff Joe defending negligent supervision and deaths in the Maricopa jail.

SOMETHING more to this story is still lurking in the OC....

What????

Gustavo,
In all these stupid remarks that these Arpayaso apologists have posted, I see nothing from our munyeca Matteo Cunningham, better known as the Gerbal or Gerby or idioso savant.

Gustavo - Nothing you said made any sense. Reporters provide accounts of events that are not tainted with their opinions. You don't do that. You, and Bill O'Rielly, and Rachel Maddow are of the same genre but of different flavors. Stick with writing editorials. That is what you do, and you're good at it. But don't cloak yourself in the holier-than-thou robe of investigative journalism when in fact you are doing nothing more that writing an opinion piece that has only certain facts presented. Oh, and "illegal" isn't the same as unconstitutional. Again, you're simply not qualified to give your opinion on that. And neither am I.

"Gustavo ....Again, you're simply not qualified to give your opinion on that. And neither am I."

Reporting? What a Joke, if you are unqualified (by your own admission), why are you making an opinion on Gustavo's credentials? I would like you to post your credentials in parallel with Gustavo. I think we would all know then what you bring to the table.

We all know that the product of hillbilly inbreeding is Reporting? What a Joke.

Gustave" Your bleats of racism are troubling but I have a creative solution!Let's outsource law enforcement and bring some Noble Mexican Policeman and fair-minded Colombian prison guards up here to deal with our Latino prisoners! It's a win/win! Everyone knows that the Latino policeman treats the Latino better than the white policeman does! Latinos are just plain nicer! And even if they do kick a felon little ass, at least it's not racism. At least it's not a white guy kicking your felonious, wife-beatin' ass -- that's the main thing! Golly, just look at Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Honduras etc. Free speech, racial harmony and civil rights are flourishing, muck-raking journalists are safe, right? -- and it's all thanks to the benevolent LATINO DICTATORS! And they love Indians! -- Indians, the true native people! Treated right! -- by fine, duly-elected men like Hugo Chavez, Alvaro Uribe, Reynaldo Bignone, Juan Evo Morales Ayma -- Indeed, Wise Padres such as these are why Latinos always stay in their native countries -- who would ever dream coming to a racist place like the U.S.A., when you could be safe and respected in crime-free Colombia or Mexico?

"Reporting? What a Joke says" : Oh, and "illegal" isn't the same as unconstitutional.

Yes, because a sheriff who illegally jailed members of the media shows all the signs of a man who respects the 1st amendment of the constitution, right? YEAH RIGHT....

GSR - it isn't the same.

Driving above the speed limit is illegal, its not unconstitutional. Jailing members of the media for no reason may be illegal but its not per se unconstitutional. You and Gustavo should quit trying to play lawyer.

I get it - you don't like Arpaio. Fine. I don't like lots of people either. But pawning off an opinion as reporting is BS. But that is what Gustavo is good at. He just needs to be called on it. Fair and balanced.

SCR: I see you too post under a pseudonym. There is no reason to post my credentials, I know what they are. But more importantly, they are not relevant to any discussion about Gustavo's. I am not the one who is a purported reporter and is trying to convince people of it. I am not penning opinion cloaked as reporting. My opions are just that. Your silly question is a non sequitor. By the way, I doubt you are either a centrist or a repubilcan, similar to Schwarzenegger.

RWaJ,

A few points:

1) You are right; I have a career in State Government and will not jeopardize that.

2) You are attempting to convince readers that you have the credibility to judge the journalistic credentials of Mr. Arellano. The fact that you refuse to put your credentials up for public review to assess whether you in fact have the journalistic experience to assess what is considered credible journalistic endeavors makes the point that you have no credentials.

3) Mr. Arellano is not a "purported reporter". The last time I looked, Mr. Arelllano puts his name to the pieces he authors and is more than willing to defend them. The fact that he assumes responsibility for his work speaks much to the point of his personal responsibility and your lack there of. I havent seen the OC Weekly issue an apology for or Mr. Arellano issue a retraction of any of the pieces he has authored. Facts are facts.

4) Your view of his writings as "opinion" and not journalistic endeavors is typical of a narrow minded deer-in-the-headlights conservative Republican (similiar to the Red County crowd) who sees those many brown shadows on every corner. Again facts are facts and they dont lie. Neither do the several multimillion dollar settlements that the Diocese of Orange has entered into.

5) While I realize that you may be a product of the public schools, what I do know is that you are not a product of Catholic schools. How do I know that? Very Easy. Your spelling is atrocious. In this day and age, Spell check is an easily learned tool to make up for your spelling deficiency.

6) Obviously, you need to return to Lemon Heights and hang out with the rest of the Hatfields and McCoys. After all, you are kin, if not by blood, certainly in spirit. Better yet, you can hangout with the Matt Cunninghams and John Fleischmanns of Orange County. They seem to be kin to you and your mindset.

7) As to my Republican centrist leanings, they are not the subject of this posting.

8) To reiterate, LEARN TO SPELL. Its clear you are not a journalist by profession or training. Hence your previous statements and judgements of Mr. Arellano's talents lack any credibility.

Dear Reporting What a Joke:

You are obviously one of the arrogant and above-the-law citizens that will seek to defame one's reputation, especially those that speak truths and uncover the serious acts of corruption committed by elected and appointed public officials.

Maybe it would be best for you to enroll in an anger management program BEFORE your arrogance gets you in trouble. Or, maybe one of the Diocese of Orange pedophile enablers can counsel you. Anyone who cannot sign their name... or own up to public statements and the continued defamation of others, needs to find a way to heal so a leave of absence for anxiety and depression does not disable your ability to defame others.

Don't take this advice lightly. Call pedophile enabler Mon. Urell... he is now at St. Timothy's playing guard dog, hoping that journalists like Gustavo and the OC Weekly do not uncover more heinous crimes that destroyed the lives of children and families.

Or, better yet, please ask Sheriff Joe what is cut of the $40 million in litigation costs is... immigration is just a diversion tomorrow. There is obviously something more important to tell at some point!

SCR:

I apologize fore teh misspelllings, but as aprivate sector emploqyee I only have a short time to write, unlike you who apparently can take time on the public's dime to type away. P.S. you misspelled several things in your post, including proper nouns. D'Oh!

For what its worth, though my father was a lifetime public educator, I have never attended public school and have a terminal degree from a top 10 academic institution. My CV covers 5 pages. I simply choose not to be public, as do you, for good reason. I have a historical knowledge of Gustavo's editorial style, so I suspect I am better qualified than most at offering my OPINION.

One question for you: Are Bill O'Rielly or Rachel Maddow reporters? If you think so, then I guess I can understand your flippant use of the term. I don't think Walter Cronkite would put them in that category. They are entertainers, just as is Gustavo.

"Truth": WTF are you rambling about? Oh, and who are you? Since you obviously think people should name themselves, I guess you should go first.

1) I went back and checked my posting. I might suggest that you take a remedial english class. They once called it "Dumbbell English". They probably have a second version called "Hillbilly English" as a prerequisite for Dumbbell English. I will bet that they also have tutoring to get you up to speed so that you can comprehend the rather complex English concepts and spelling covered in the hillbilly class and to prepare you for the Dumbbell English class.

You continue: "For what its worth, though my father was a lifetime public educator, I have never attended public school and have a terminal degree from a top 10 academic institution.

2) If I were you, I would not make it known that your parent is/was a lifetime public educator. Since you have a "terminal degree", did you get that from Los Angeles Trade Tech, Ashford University, or Grand Canyon University?

One question for you: Are Bill O'Rielly or Rachel Maddow reporters?

4) they arent-they are television personalites-however there is a big difference in the quality of preparation that either follows. Afterall, Maddow is a Stanford grad and a Rhodes scholar. What is OReilly's background? Some hollywood gossip show from years ago. Academic training? I think not. If that is the sound of acid reflex reaction in your gut, I understand.

If you think so, then I guess I can understand your flippant use of the term. I don't think Walter Cronkite would put them in that category. They are entertainers, just as is Gustavo.

Mr. Arellano is an investigative reporter within the print media sector, a very big difference from television. However, they do share something in common: the quality of the research and reporting. I realize its a difficult concept to get your arms around and understand. But I am sure that, should you spend the next 6 months attempting to understand the concept, you will be successful in understanding the difference between opinion and editorialization.

I would recommend contacting Matteo "Jerbalito" Cunningham. He can help you in your efforts to enhance your reading comprehension skills that you were not able to develop given your schooling or your parental involvment in your educational endeavors. I think he conducts training classes at Red County for their " wannabe" writers as part of their training program.

I would be remiss in not suggesting to you that you take advantage of your

SCR -

Two words: "John Fleischmanns," both missspeellled. [Side note, not only do you apparently have spelling problems but your lack of knowing the correct spelling of this person's name demonstrates that you are certainly no "insider", leading me to wonder what it is you do in Sac. Are you an intern?]

Two more words: "there of" - actually this is one word. And generally you should not end the sentence with a preposition.

One more word, a contraction actually: "havent" - you missed an apostrophe.

One word: "similiar" - misssssspppppeeellllleeedd.

I will stop here. Point made. Though, i do find it interesting that your spell checker missed both "havent" and "similiar". You must be a real dope to screw up a spell check.

Oh yeah, take your advice in the last post. I haven't portrayed myself as a spelling expert. But you have.

Hey, Jokey: Waaaaay up above, you said it was up to a judge to decide whether Arpayaso's actions were unconstitutional. And guess what? One did! Again: go get those stories. The "question" of whether I'm a reporter is the very red herring you accuse me of. And, again: you're excusing Arpayaso's actions for reasons that are beyond me.

"A historical knowledge" of my writing—you sure don't know nada! Did you call Brown like I told you to? Of course not!

Reporting? What a Joke:

Go over to Santa Ana College and enroll in their Hillbilly English class. I suggest signing up for their tutoring program as well. Once you complete both programs, sign up for the dumbbell english class.

Signup for a word processing class so that you can learn the finer points of Microsoft word. In posting here you should know that spellcheck cannot be used. A minor point.

I would highly suggest retaining legal counsel and suing that "top 10 academic institution" for failure to educate you. However, the last time that I looked, Grand Canyon University was not on the list.

As for the Matt Cunninghams and Jon Fleischmans of the world, they aren't pimples on a gnat's ass here in Sacramento.

As to whatever point you thought you made, I fail to see any point. The fact of the matter is you are where you are--looking in--while those in the know are looking out at you, the infamous "Fleshman" and Matteo "gerbalito" Cunningham.

Like I previously said, use your insurance benefits to get help with your vision. Because of your hillbilly inbreeding, you have problems that many of us are not prone to suffer.

I am sure that Gerbalito can help you with your comprehension deficiencies. How much is an open question given your hillbilly genetic deficiencies.

SCR - you are a racist. (oh yeah, and i counted several spelling errors in your post.) back to work, unlike you.

Found the article below.... maybe there is a reason Sheriff Joe is speaking in the City of Anaheim tonight.... based on past events, the Anaheim Police Department will be sure to protect Sheriff Joe and Bill Hunt while they are in Anaheim's jurisdiction..... hopefully, the same safety precautions will be provided to individuals with different opinions relating to immigration reform. BE SAFE!!!!!!

Craig Hunter should be shot in the stomach by Scott McManus and Bradley Wagner's balls should be forced down Sgt. Witham's throat AnaheimInjustice .com, BetterPoliceBureauxom, SouthlandInternetNews.com, WhiteRoseAnaheimxom

January 17, 1914 - Dr. Hector Garcia was born in Llera, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Hector was only three years old when the Garcia family like many other Mexicans fled the Revolutionary Chaos to the United States. Police and other law enforcement agencies treated Hector and other Mexicans like second-class citizens through disparagement or intimidation .

When a high school teacher vowed that "No Mexican would ever get an A in my class,"
Hector Garcia proved him wrong! In 1936 Garcia went on to graduate top ten in his class at the University of Texas. In 1945 Major Garcia earned the Bronze Star Medal with 6 Battle Stars in Europe while serving in the United States Army.

In 1954 "Operation Wetback," a repatriation program, was initiated by ignorant people
beginning the process of sending thousands of documented migrants, & some Mexican-
American citizens "back" to Mexico. "Inept, nauseating, ridiculous logic."

Dr. Hector Garcia said, "I do not seek to fight unless it's completely right." Dr. Garcia charged the barricades of discrimination with a warriors' spirit and in 1967 was the first American with a Spanish surname to be named U.S. delegate to the United Nations. Dr. Garcia criticized the South African apartheid government and said, "The administrating
powers are linked together in a malevolent alliance to frustrate all popular striving for self-determination ."

Dr. Garcia was arrested again by police in 1978 at age 64 during a school segregation
protest in yet another de facto school segregation case, Cisneros v. Corpus Christi. On March 24, 1984 Dr. Hector Perez Garcia's work in eliminating injustice to the Mexican people and others was recognized at the highest level when President Ronald Reagan presented him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Craig Hunter and his sexual predator cops at the Anaheim Police Department have
disgraced this country and dishonored President Ronald Reagan and Dr. Hector Garcia. Craig Hunter allows cops to commit crimes and is a traitor to the United States. Anaheim Police claimed there were other victims when Avina was arrested. When Bradley Wagner was arrested for forcing his penis inside a Mexican grandmother's mouth during a traffic stop in the back of her van, Anaheim Police announced there are no other victims.

Gustavo -

Who is "Arpayaso"? Do you mean Arpaio? Would a reporter us that name interchangably? Would Walter Cronkite, or the 60 Minutes team do that? Or, would someone more akin to Bill O'Reilly?

I guess my simple mind would consider that hyperbole (the kindest word that I can think of, though perhaps racist would be a better term) to be opinion or entertainment. Investigative journalism generally doesn't involve demeaning those that are the subject of the investigative report.

I am not sure what Todd Brown has to do this this issue, or why you brought him up. But if we're bringing in non-sequitors, I bet you must shoulder lots of guilt. Given all the pedo-oriented and demeaning advertisements that OCW takes money to print, I can't help but think that some of the sexual devients in the RC Church used your publication to get their jollies while victimizing young children. You should do an investigative report on that.

Wait a minute—you said you have a "historical knowledge" of my writing. If that's true, I'll also assume you read the Weekly and thus know our writing style—you know, the same one that ridicules Carona, Bob Dornan, and all the other corrupt pendejos we've taken down over the years. You can look it up.

And no guilt on my part: just sheer glee in constantly laughing at Know Nothings like yourself!

Protest Joe Arpaio!!!

Gustavo - simple racism in name calling. Not much more. I actually find your style interesting and entertaining. But reporting? Not really. Your use of "ridicule" is good word choice.

Its odd that your name calling involves statements that you regard me as a "Know Nothing." How can that be the case if I am in favor of open borders? Maybe you should do some real investigative reporting before you make statements you cannot support or that are pure "ridicule" and conjecture.

And I guess you brushed my comment about the OCW's contributing to the RC Church pedo-problem under the rug. Best you do, its indefensible how this publication contributes to activities that are derogotory to women and children and likely was a source of excitement for some of these pedo-priests.

If you support Arpayaso, you're a Know Nothing. And if you support Arpayaso and are in favor of open borders, you're an idiot.

Child trafficking advertised by the Weekly? Where?

I guess I wouldn't support him either if I had been convicted of a felony, but since I don't have a rap sheet, I really have no need to worry about how he treats those incarcerated in the MC jail. They are probably treated better than the victims of the crimes were by those who are now serving time.

As for borders, you can have an open immigration policy (which we obviously don't, unfortunately) while still maintaing points of entry.

now the arguments are getting really desperate and far-reaching!

Reporting? What a Joke said "And I guess you brushed my comment about the OCW's contributing to the RC Church pedo-problem under the rug.

Jokester who knows nothing,
Make sure you talk to your employee benefits people in your HR department. Most employer-provided health insurance programs do provide for mental health services. You, my friend, certainly need them in addition to your vision care checkup.

To say that the publication of the articles by Mr. Arellano by OCWeekly enables the pedo-priests of the Diocese of Orange to further involve themselves in depraved acts and was/is a source of sexual pleasure for these deranged priests is quite a stretch. But then, as I previously said, you have the hillbilly genetics of the Hatfields and the McCoys. Such conclusions by you signify a truly sick pedophilic mind. Again, Jerbalito Cunningham can help you since he is an expert with pedophilic minds and personalities. He can hook you up with Monsignor Urell at Pacific Strategies in Orange.

I am sure that I will see you tonight at the Phoenix club. I will look for you: easy to spot: the hillbilly look with the jug in hand dressed as a junior arpayaso (clown) celebrating his hero Joe "Big Pink" Arpayaso (sic)
