On 14 July, 1921, Italian born anarchists, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were convicted in Dedham, Mass. of murdering a shoe-company paymaster and his guard. This was another example of people being convicted on their politics, not on evidence of their guilt. Sacco and Vanzetti were executed 6 years later in 1927.In the current days news, (from the Seattle Times), "A list containing the names and personal information of 1,300 people an anonymous group contends are illegal immigrants has been mailed around Utah, terrifying the state's Hispanic community. Governor Herbert is investigating the list, which includes informantion such as Social Security numbers, birth dates, work places, addresses and phone numbers."
I live in Utah and can assure you that we are all that narrow minded. It's appalling and I hope they catch the people that did it.
ReplyDeleteNot that Narrow minded I meant to say....
ReplyDeleteI knew what you meant, and I totally understand. Not every one in Arizona is for the anti immigrant legislation and not everyone from the United States supports these unending wars.
