re: #95 Aceofwhat?

what are you talking about? are you under some odd impression that the truck driver in Arizona was handcuffed and harassed before this law was passed?

Yes, I’m saying he was handcuffed and harassed as a result of the passage of the bill and the xenophobic blood frenzy that it generated. The word you’re looking for is signed, no the bill was not yet signed into law, but it was passed, and Joe Arpaio brand law enforcement doesn’t give one rat’s ass about waiting for some gutless governor’s signature, or for the law to actually take effect. It’s their hot bodies and they do what they want.

Also, the fact that they did this before the formalities were in place is a very bad omen going forward.
