The fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree does it?
Or should I say the nut doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Oh no those people that no one seems to have ever met that are defending themselves with firearms every 13 seconds aren’t gonna go for that.

Hey Duncan, you want crime to go down in San Diego and Mexican border cities? Then decriminalize marijuana in the USA. DEMAND for illegal drugs KILLS PEOPLE.

While you’re it, get going on gun control and ammo sales in Texas. Now. Texas is THE Wal-Mart for AR-15 and AK-47 rifles, 5.56 and 7.62 ammo sales to Mexican drug gangs.

The point I’m trying to make is that TJ IS NOT SAFE AT NIGHT. At all. I’m in San Diego and I know how it has gotten. If murders are rarely dont randomly, then is TJ rarely dont randomly as well. Clueless? I don’t think so.

Wow you really are clueless arent you? Murders are rarely dont randomly. Usually, when its drug killing which is what they are saying its criminals killing criminals. So when talking about safety of a city it IS relevant when to show the RANDOM violence like carbombings which kill whoever is in the area. Bagdhad is a city of about 5 million and the last figure I could find for violence THERE was 247 for a MONTH that was a GOOD month since the months before were over a thousand PER MONTH. Bottom line IF you are more willing to walk around Baghdad without gunships protecting you than you are to walk around Tijuana you are a moron. Not even a good try. IF we werent paying the Shiite and Sunni militias NOT to kill each other we would STILl be seeing about 10,000 deaths a year in Baghdad alone.

Right, and Baghdad is safer than Washington DC too.

Even if true what Hunter says is true, Mexico is more than just Tijuana. What an idiot.

Oh, goody, a new idiot to represent me.

Sigh. I hate the Republican tards around here.

Since carbombing is the only method of killing, well then i guess you got me there. TJ has like 1.4 million, and Iraq and Afghanistan have almost 30 million each. For 2008 so far, an estimated 726 people have been killed in TJ. Have there been more than 10k killed in either country this year? Maybe so. Bottom line is that it’s tragic that we’re even discussing this.

When was the last carboming in Tijuana? Got any evidence that the ratio is higher in Tijuana? How many died in Bagdhad alone this year? In Dec of 07 ALONE there were 247 deaths

You forgot to mention that while the Wal-Mart employee was getting emergency treatment, people still went past the scene to get those great deals.

A employee doing a job dies at the feet of the herd and no one can close the store because cash suddenly trumps a life.

Illegal immigrants aren’t the problem. People who think they can’t get a great deal in a sh!t economy are. Then again, anyone who has to take the doors off the hinges at a Wal-Mart should be sent to the streets of Tijuana with a tin cup for a week or two as punishment.

Hunter Jr. should be more worried about his Father’s criminal acts that the new AG Holder will be handling. Smart move by old man Hunter to drop out and put the kid out there to do the dirty work. Pink is the new jail uniform color and old man Hunter might look good in that color.

49er is right, to a point. Guns do make it a lot easier though. For instance London has a huge knife problem.

I think there are more people in Afghanistan and Iraq individually than TJ, so in a way he’s right from a ratio perspective. He didn’t specifically say that though. TJ is fine during the day [mostly] but at night it is completely not safe. There is a lot of kidnapping going on there too.

Hernandez is right in that the corporate greed for cheap labor is at the heart of this.

We don’t even need guns to be violent. A guy was stomped and killed by people trying to get a good deal on a flat screen the other day. Nobody was surprised.

Well since one of the gun nuts claims that an American has to defend themselves with a gun every 13 seconds, I’d say there must be a whole hell of a lot more violence right here…

Earth to Hernandez: three lines above this, you called La Raza a racist hate group. Maybe you should follow your own advice.

If Duncan Hunter is really concerned about violence and declining wages, here’s two suggestions: end the “war on drugs” and support unionizing the work force. How bout it, Duncan?

Shayne Says: I wonder why this guy is such an expert on Tijuana. Does he spend a lot of time there and why?

Is he married?

Why does it matter?
