“As a seasonal visitor, who invested in Arizona real estate, pays money in sales tax for six months and high prices for food, I think I have a right to live here part time. Sorry there are full times residents that don’t appreciate the financial support! I think the stores and restaurants wouldn’t agree!”

“Dear snowbirds: Thank you for coming to our cities. Thank you for spending your hard earned money here. Thank you for eating in our restaurants, shopping in our stores, buying or renting our homes, and improving our economy. Thank you for stopping me in the store and telling me how cute my children are. We appreciate what you add to our towns!”

“With Santorum’s withdrawal, the battle between conservatives and corporations for the Republican Party’s future has been decisively won by big business.”

“Jessica Vega of Goshen, N.Y. told everyone that she was dying of cancer. Kind-hearted friends, neighbors and even strangers donated gifts to make her upcoming wedding and honeymoon really special. Then they found out that she had lied about the cancer and fraudulently bilked them all out of thousands of dollars. Come to Arizona, Jessica! You’d fit right in at our state legislature! Or maybe you could work for MCSO.”

“Give the Keystone pipeline to a startup oil company. Break up the mega oil cartel. If the GOP wants a lead to the past lead us back to gas wars and not class wars.”

“I just heard that Andrew Thomas was disbarred for his despicable behavior, costing Maricopa (County) taxpayers millions of dollars and wasted time trying to bully judges, supervisors, and administrators into submission. Good job! I must say, this couldn’t have happened to a ‘nicer’ guy... unless, of course, we are talking about another bully, Joe Arpaio.”

“My goodness what a conundrum exists in the Wal-Mart killing. The suspect being pictured is wearing a hoodie, heaven forbid he be a person of color. Due to the ‘supposed’ constitutionality of the suspects rights, law enforcement are now looking for a male of a certain height and weight, wearing long pants only, no other description details permitted as reasonable grounds for detention. That would be considered profiling which is apparently no longer acceptable in this country to solve crimes, especially murder. Had there been an officer on site who’d only seen the suspect from the rear or profile view, he would have been best to allow the suspect to flee or face dire consequences regarding violations of civil rights.”

    Vent # 6: “Good job! I must say, this couldn’t have happened to a ‘nicer’ guy... unless, of course, we are talking about another bully, Joe Arpaio.”

    President Barack Obama and his Justice Department are spending millions of taxpayers dollars to defeat Sheriff Joe Arpaio – America’s Toughest Sheriff – because of his tough stance on illegal immigration. Left-wing billionaire George Soros has joined the fray by pledging $10 million to defeat Sheriff Joe’s re-election.

    The voters of Maricopa County re-elected Sheriff Joe Arpaio in 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008 . . . And, they will re-elect Sheriff “Joe” again in November for sure.

    Corporations have always put their profits before the people, one good example is the General Motors Conspiracy or also called the National City Lines Conspiracy. This took place from 1936 through 1950, General Motors, Firestone tire , Standard Oil of California, Phillips Petroleum and Mack Truck purchased and dismantaled electric streetcars so they could move people out of Streetcars into Busses so the above could improve their proffit margin, this was done without concern for the people.

    On the Wal-Mart comments!

    What's your point? We've gone over profiling in depth. We have professional profilers, those who use facts not suspecions, inappropriate suspecions based upon differences in race, national origin, and alike, to base a decision to detain people and focus an investigation on likely suspects. With George Zimmerman, an untrained and potentially over zealous vigilante style self appointed cop, we see a teenager walking home from the 7-11 get killed. Zimmerman was not supposed to be armed while acting as a vigilant neighborhood watchman and was supposed to keep his distance from Martin. But in the course of perhaps one minute Zimmerman and Martin confront one another and Zimmerman shoots Martin, killing him. That is profiling of the most henous kind. Zimmerman was responsible for causing the confrontation, a confrontation he was told to avoid! And some sort of profiling was the cause of this confrontation.
