Ariz. sheriff: I'll jail immigration protesters (Sheriff Joe Arpaio)

Source: Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The sheriff of the most populous county in Arizona says he's "not going to put up with any civil disobedience" when the state's new immigration law takes effect.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says that if protesters want to block his jail, he'll put them in it.

The Arizona law, which takes effect Thursday, requires officers enforcing other laws to check a person's immigration status if they suspect the person is in the country illegally.

Arpaio told ABC's "Good Morning America" he doesn't know "what the big hype is."

he can't figure out what the big deal is now?

I'll be sure to pack my signs.

What a twit.

Bigots like that are very myopic and have absolutely no understanding of how
screwed up they are. Believe me, I was raised by one. There's no way to
change the ignorance and bigotry of a sociopath.

The more arrests they make of American citizens, the more quickly enforcement of this law will be suspended.

:eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

some reservations before you go.

"That is small change compared with the loss of business for future years that was tentatively booked and canceled after the law passed, Percopo said.

For 2011, the Sheraton's lost business currently stands at just under $2.5 million, he said. From 2012-14, the total is between $4 million and $5 million. All had been on the verge of signing contracts.

"You're not going to start to see the impact, in my opinion, until the mid- to late first quarter of 2011," Percopo said."

Furthermore, the article points out that the Phoenix area was one of the hardest-hit hotel markets in the country last year.

seems like a call for a nationally planned protest with people coming in from other states ... so many people that they will be completely overwhelmed.

I grew up in Tucson, and you don't want to be in AZ in the summer.

unfortunately, there is still alot of room in Tent City.

He crams people into the holding cells like animals....he just doesn't give a shit.

Isn't he under investigation for all kinds of nefarious doings?

his ideology: "not going to put up with any civil disobedience". Hmmmm, one of these looks about right:

he loves the feeling of absolute power over everyone. narcissist of the worst type.

the jails are overcrowded , here comes a dictator wannabe.

A self aggrandizing thug who is wasting tax dollars with his publicity stunts.

maybe he'll turn the hoses and the dogs on them as well

Tie up the courts, baby!

Now, this makes me want to go and protest, just to stick it to this guy.

and it'll end up being violent. stoke the fires and egg them on. (Stupid fucking idiot) How can we make this worse....

I'm waiting for them to charge and see who gets killed. In the fictional world. They couldn't get Blue Thunder... so guess they'll do it the dumb way.

What a huge turn off it is that man and his 'tent prisons' and his racism. I do not even know the name of the Sheriff of the next County over from me, but I know this infamous bigot's name. And millions of spending people avoid Arizona to avoid his policies.
Because of Arpiao, you can buy a condo in Phoenix for 20k if you want to. No one wants to. Arizonans should consider that fact.

me. Each and everyone should. That would fix him. AND since he works for a country throw them in also. Talk about bankrupt....

to most every insult thrown at the Constitution and the people

marijuana laws in California with more vigor than this administration is in addressing a major civil rights issue

unfortunately the Patriot Act is alive and well under Obama. It is extremely disappointing that Obama's DOJ has continued with the same policies of his predecessor.

Just one example: "the Obama administration has argued that warrantless tracking is permitted because Americans enjoy no "reasonable expectation of privacy" in their--or at least their cell phones'--whereabouts. U.S. Department of Justice lawyers say that "a customer's Fourth Amendment rights are not violated when the phone company reveals to the government its own records" that show where a mobile device placed and received calls."

which is what this thread is about

but go ahead and try to change the subject since it doesnt fit the obama sucks meme

but way to smear.

It seems he forgot people have a right to assemble and a right to free speech...

which is what Joe seems to be threatening...

From the OP:

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says that if protesters want to block his jail, he'll put them in it.

...... Sheriff Joe would have been an enthusiastic gas chamber attendant.

with a badge. Scary.

so protest all you want - just don't block access to the jail

and the justice department was going to fast trac this

Refuse to produce ID, until you get to the police station.

If enough people do this, it will render Arizona's racist law totally ineffective. What's even better, American citizens practicing this style of civil disobedience won't even go to jail!

:shrug:

Part of their resistance to the law is to refuse to submit to checks of their "papers"--so they plan to have no identifying documents with them.

What's next? too many for the courts ? / drumhead trials and executions? Too many fascist/racists, so little time.

I mean it. SUBHUMAN.

Human beings have empathy and a conscience. Arpaio has never shown signs of either of those things.

Therefore, like every other sociopath in this world, he is not truly human.

From the OP:

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says that if protesters want to block his jail, he'll put them in it.


From all indications he's only threatening to arrest people who block the jail which he is legally allowed to do.

And there are plenty who have a vested interest in making sure this law, authored by a neo-Nazi, cannot be changed "in a mature and civil manner," but instead forced upon the people of Arizona by hook or by crook. Which is what tyranny is.

Once something becomes law, it will be more difficult

The Department asked for a preliminary injunction, and U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton is expected to issue a preliminary ruling today which may block parts of the law from going into effect.

Bolton's ruling will be a waste of time, it will be appealed either way, and I will bet money that the law will go into effect tomorrow

There was more than adequate time to argue this case before the district courts, and this 11th hour nonesense will not be helpful

If this was high on the Justice departments list it would have been filed earlier

about federal court procedure, then you'd know precisely why it was filed on July 6, and why that was good, legal strategy.


Instead, you just reveal your ignorance.

earlier?

law was supposed to go into effect.

It's a timing trick. DOJ files, and in the normal course of things, AZ state would get 10 days to two weeks on the outside to file in reply to the PI. Give the judge a few days to chew the reply, and you have a TRO issued right before the effect date, WITHOUT time to appeal to the 9th.

It wasn't because the DOJ was lazy---it's the DOJ playing hardball.

conclusion, and absolutely wrong

Thanks again

:rofl:

I've simply got to keep up with things better.

Which wasn't worth a plugged nickel.

Law enforcement should be working for the people not on how to fuck them over.

We are guaranteed the right to congregate

I know it did.

Come on, share with us how much it annoyed you.

any number of past protesters. It's a LEGAL right to peaceably assemble. What? You don't like the Constitution?

nm

You'll last long here... :puke:

It is the people's right to protest. Somebody a little smarter than you knew the people's right to assemble and petition the government with their grievances does indeed work, and made a place for it in the bill of rights. Maybe you are put off by the Tea Baggers - I don't know - But to suggest that people should not actively exercise their rights shows a total lack of civic wisdom. Do you think the protests of the Civil Rights movement had zero impact? Wasn't law enforcement just doing their duty and upholding the law in the Jim Crow South. Why don't you grow up and read a book? Or if you can't hack that watch a fucking documentary.

Scratch that, I got my answer from CNN

"NBC's Pete Williams reports that U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton, who heard challenges to the law last week, is expected to issue a ruling today between noon ET and 3 p.m. ET."

He's the Bull Conner of our times as far as I'm concerned...

Arpaio is the one who should be in jail!

Seriously. PM me and I'll turn myself in.

I read that as "I'll jail anyone without papers"

:blush: oh wait, my bad.

Maybe we can just give him a constitution test and if he fails, send him back over the border.

It's the graft that he practices that's making him rich:

"On July 8, 2004, Phoenix New Times columnist John Dougherty and reporter Paul Rubin published an article questioning the local sheriff’s ability to own expensive land parcels throughout the county. Sheriff Joseph Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, who makes about $78,000 per year from his sheriff’s salary, had managed to invest $790,000 cash in real estate between 1995 and 2004. Dougherty questioned how Arpaio could have afforded these purchases, and commented that Arpaio had suspiciously requested that the County Recorder’s office seal his records from public view, invoking a state law that allows sheriffs to hide their personal information from the public."

That's among the things the DOJ has him under investigation for...

He would surely poison them. The desert part sounds right!

moron.

the look a likes and act alike.

Then when there's no room for real criminals, Arizonans might wake up.

If I wasn't fortunate enough to have a job right now, I'd consider going down there and "volunteering" a week or two in the pokey just to clog up his jail. I hope they flood his jail with innocents so that the scam is exposed. It would be worth the effort.

And the hilarious thing about this bigot is that for all the cruelty and indignity he exposes prisoners to, he himself is a corrupt criminal, more so than many of the people he torments.

I can't stand that filthy slime.

So apparently his local voters love the guy.
