ongoing racist bullshit in arizona thread

i wonder why everyone is mad at joseph arpaio all of a sudden. that's strange.

haha 'joseph arpaio.'

that reminds me of someone pointing out during the clinton scandal how you could tell what side someone was on when they referred to 'judge starr.'

http://www.alternet.org/rights/155384/10_worst_things_arizona%27s_racist_sheriff_joe_arpaio_has_done/

1. Forcing Women To Sleep In Their Own Menstrual Blood: In Arpaio’s jails, “female Latino LEP prisoners have been denied basic sanitary items. In some instances, female Latino LEP prisoners have been forced to remain with sheets or pants soiled from menstruation because of MCSO’s failure to ensure that detention officers provide language assistance in such circumstances.”

2. Assaulting Pregnant Women: “[A]n MCSO officer stopped a Latina woman – a citizen of the United States and five months pregnant at the time – as she pulled into her driveway. After she exited her car, the officer then insisted that she sit on the hood of the car. When she refused, the officer grabbed her arms, pulled them behind her back, and slammed her, stomach first, into the vehicle three times. He then dragged her to the patrol car and shoved her into the backseat. He left her in the patrol car for approximately 30 minutes without air conditioning. The MCSO officer ultimately issued a citation for failure to provide identification.”

i don't normally wish death on people but i hope someone fucking impales this worthless hateful excuse for a human with a rusty pickaxe

I have a friend who was on one of Arpaio's chain gangs back in the 90s. Yes, he's Hispanic.

personally i think he's one of the best sheriffs this country has ever had

he's got stiff competition from a bunch of other racist yahoos tho

thank you for focusing your reactionary hyperbole on a single lightning rod of a guy instead of an entire state made up of all kinds of people : )

you're very welcome XD

rev's (hyperbolically phrased) ire against this "single lightning rod of a guy" seems entirely warranted to me

I wouldn't really describe that reaction as hyperbolic, after Breitbart died I was thinking of the very few people i would really like to see dead, and Arpaio definitely makes the list.

You guys remember the whole 'sloth' sequence in Se7en, right? So it makes sense if I say something like, "I want Joe Arpaio to get 'sloth'-ed", yeah? I just wanna make sure y'all would understand the context if I were to ever use that particular verb form in a sentence, is all.

I wouldn't really describe that reaction as hyperbolic

on principle, i think it's best to describe all death threats, no matter how vague, as "hyperbolic"

it was hyperbolic tbrr

There was a point not too long ago that it was almost all, aww, Sheriff Joe, how cute! Maybe around the 60 Minutes profile? Clearly he was horrific back then, but perhaps we were all in collective denial when they trotted out the prisoners in pink jumpsuits, eating bologna on white bread? I want to say it was before his xenophobia and anti-immigrant rhetoric ratcheted up.

Bennett, the state’s No. 2 elected official just below Gov. Jan Brewer (R), said his investigation isn’t personal. He said the reason he started looking into it is because he got more than 1,200 emails asking him to do so after Arpaio’s investigation came out.

Hey, can we coordinate an effort to send him 1,201 emails asking him to die in a fire?

http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/07/20/554471/aclu-emails-from-author-of-sb-1070-prove-racial-motivation/

“Battles commence as Mexican nationalists struggle to infuse their men into American government and strengthen control over their strongholds. One look at Los Angeles with its Mexican-American mayor shows you Vincente Fox’s general Varigossa commanding an American city.”

"Varigossa"

“Corruption is the mechanism by which Mexico operates. Its people spawn more corruption wherever they go because it is their only known way of life.”

“Tough, nasty illegals and their advocates grow in such numbers that law and order will not subdue them. They run us out of our cities and states. They conquer our language and our schools. They render havoc and chaos in our schools.”

“We are much like the Titanic as we inbreed millions of Mexico’s poor, the world’s poor and we watch our country sink.”

“I’m racist because I don’t want to be taxed to pay for a prison population comprised of mainly Hispanics, Latinos, Mexicans or whatever else you wish to call them.”

“I’m a racist because I believe the News Media has a duty to tell us the names and race of criminals.”

“I’m a racist because I object to having to pay higher sales tax and property tax to build more schools for the illegitimate children of illegal aliens.”

“I’m a racist because I dislike having to push one for English and/or listening to a message in Spanish.”

"the emails, acquired through a public records request, are to and from the author of SB 1070, recalled Arizona Senate President Russell Pearce (R)."

are the quotes from Pearce, then, or are they excerpts from emails that were written TO Pearce?

good question, i didn't catch that

i'm looking through the emails (http://www.azcentral.com/kpnx/pdf/Pochada-pearce-emails.pdf) and yep, he wrote all of that stuff. wow. people elected this guy. representative democracy.

the problem with representative democracy is that it looks like you

at least the dude was recalled

“I’m a racist because I dislike having to push one for English and/or listening to a message in Spanish.”

Fuck man this is annoying enough as a facebook meme, acting like having 3 seconds added to your IVRU message is some unparalleled burden, but as a reason to legislate something like this....asdgbv/oagbviujsfw vc ufraw

http://mediamatters.org/blog/2014/02/28/joe-arpaios-racist-roast-and-other-stories-from/198268

Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne laid down the basic comic framework for his fellow roasters, totaling a dozen conservative dignitaries of local and national reputation. "Apologies to the Civic Center," said Horne, "but half of the kitchen staff was arrested tonight upon arrival of Joe and his deputies. Because of a budget crunch, the sheriff's cutting way back. No more green baloney for prisoners -- just an extra beating at suppertime. Over the years, Joe's touched many people. We know because many are now pressing charges."

Chuckling throughout Horne's routine on stage next to Arpaio was Russell Pearce, a recalled state senator with a documented fondness for neo-Nazi websites, and the primary architect of Arizona's controversial immigration bill S.B. 1070. Pearce smiled as his one-time ally in the 1070 fight, Arizona State Rep. John Kavanagh, began his set asking, "How many Hispanics did you pull over on the way over here, Arpaio?" He later added, "All these years I figured he was rounding up Hispanics because you had a grudge from [fighting in] the Spanish-American War. But if you were in the Korean War, how come you're not rounding up Asians?" Kavanagh was doing a bit about the difficulties of dining out with Arpaio -- "When we go into a restaurant, most of the wait staff and cooks dive out the back window" -- when he spotted a passing waiter who appeared to be Hispanic holding a platter of stuffed chickens, and screamed, "There's a brave one! Get him! Sic 'em!"

Crossing an interior immigration checkpoint in Arizona is a puzzling experience. A curious visitor from a peaceful foreign country driving around the state who happened upon a checkpoint for the first time might well wonder, on the basis of the cursory questions and inspections, why, exactly, the checkpoints are present. Visitors from countries wracked by military rule, coups, or civil wars, where checkpoints are routine instruments of control—and sometimes sites of violence and extortion—might feel more at home.

When an agent gives the OK—a nod, a “have a good day, now”—a traveler cannot help but feel a surge of virtue or a rush of relief.
