The 28,000 residents of Maywood, CA – a small town of just over one mile square that proudly proclaims itself 96% Hispanic – are experienced at defending themselves from oppression. The “Maywood revolution” began last fall, when residents rose up against their police chief, who routinely had used roadblocks to confiscate the vehicles of undocumented immigrants and sell the cars for public revenue. Maywoodians threw out their city council and mayor in the November elections, an election in which nearly 100% of eligible voters cast ballots, and replaced them with representatives who promptly disbanded the police traffic division,demanded an audit of LAUSD, denounced the Sensenbrenner anti-immigrant resolution (this comment here turns this “news” article into a biased editorial), endorsed drivers licenses for all residents, and proclaimed Maywood a sanctuary city, where the police would no longer check immigration or citizenship status.

At first read it leaves me speechless.
But only for a little bit.
WTF? then comes to mind.
This is flat out rebellion. And since so many of the “citizens” of that city are foreign nationals - it makes it an invasion.
The idiot, racists, fundie dumbasses that organize the protests against such things are taking away from the reality of it being a bad thing.
The SOS are idiots granted - but look at the facts being presented in the rest of the article.
Respect the laws of the fucking country you live in! It is not your fucking country because you have illegally come over en mass and now constitute a majority of the town you’ve chosen to invade.

It’s time to move in the National Guard and clean that town the fuck up.
