What the hell is going on in Arizona?
Hispanic citizens suspected of being illegals can be stopped and searched at will by the police.
All citizens allowed to carry concealed weapons.
Now, apparently, Arizona is going to require President Obama to prove up his birth certificate if he plans to be on the ballot in AZ in 2012.
Have the wingnuts taken over?
The first two are simple. There's all out war going on at the borders and nobody is addressing it so the state of Arizona has to do what it has to do to protect it's citizens. I've heard a lot about what's going on in some west Texas counties. From what I've heard New Mexico has escaped a lot of the violence but Arizona's been hit hard.
Most of what I've been hearing is hearsay so I won't repeat any specifics, but there's been a lot of weird stories of kidnappings, murders, police being threatened, political officials being threatened. Some if it's in the mainstream media, some of it isn't. It's pretty bad down there in Arizona and they're responding the only way they know how I guess, grab a gun, sit on the porch and shoot whatever comes on your property. I honestly don't blame them.
As for the last issue... yes, apparently the wing-nuts have taken over.
