In Federal District Court on July 20, 2010, the ATF won a conviction from an Austin jury that defies logic and reason. In a trial before Federal Judge Sam Sparks, government lawyers conceded Texas resident Paul Copeland did not know his buyer was an illegal alien, but the jury they should convict him anyway because he "had reasonable cause to believe" he was selling to an illegal alien because the two men and a boy who were present at his table at the time of the sale: 1) were Hispanic, 2) spoke Spanish, and 3) wore cowboy clothing. And the jury did as asked.So now it's ok to racially discriminate?
RTWT, because the questions asked at the end are very good ones, ones I'm sure no one wants to answer.
I'd recommend writing letters to someone, anyone, but I'm sure it wouldn't do any good.
