The State Bank and Trust Company regrets what happened. The story doesn't say if Keith Sadler regrets it. How many more?

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.
Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

When they came after the Chicano and put him in jail because he did not have papers,I did not protest because I am of a color that does not need to carry papers. When they came after the Muslim Arab-American and waived his right of habeas corpus till he could prove he was not a terrorist, I did not object because I do not look anything like a Muslim Arab. When they came among the field workers, and busted heads because there was a rumor of union organizing, I did not worry because I am neither a field worker nor a union organizer. When they battered down the door of the home-squatter who could not pay his mortgage because the bankers had destroyed his job, I looked on congratulating myself that my payments were up to date. When they came for me because I was suspected of contemning them, no one said a word. The Mexican,
the Muslim, the field-worker, and the home-squatter had all been taken away.
I just wonder how it going to take for a civil to start. Mexicans are known to defend themselves when the need arises and that is why the police is relying on the judicial system to control.
The seeds of hatred have already been sowed, and the whirlwind is about to surface.
God help us all!
Yep, we are all becoming good germans,esp. the teabaggers and republicans.
Perhaps a better way to categorize how to criticize protestors, is by criticizing the racist "La Raza" and the race hustlers Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, Barry Soetoro, etc. It would server everyone better to focus the nazi comparisons on, and ask for our outcry about, what happens at "Border Checkpoints" that are 50 to 100 miles AWAY from the border; like what happened to Pastor Steven Anderson of Phoenix:

A survey of teabaggers showed that they were far more racially prejudiced than the American population in general.
They are hardly Constitutionall y correct because they had absolutely no problem with peaceful protesters against the Republicans being arrested and denied access to Bush's events. Moreover they have no problem with the denial of habeus corpus to nonCaucasians who are only accused of terrorism. They have no problem with brown people being arrested and locked up with no access to legal defense solely on the suspicion that they may be undocumented immigrants. They have no problem with the use of warrantless surveillance of people in the US. And you didn't hear boo out of them when Bush called the Constitution "Just a gd piece of paper!" The list goes on.
And when their leaders advocate throwing bricks through windows among even worse violence, it is very difficult to claim that they are nonviolent.
Remember, the police unions is the only unionized force acceptable by the judicial system in the USA. It was those national guard members in the police that were sent to take charge of the secret prisons in Iraq and in other part of the world. They are the one who were the torturers, murderers and the preverted ones who committed the atrocities that have been documented so well.
Like the Gestapo, NKVD, CIA, they are immuned to judicial punishment.
It is because of this and corporate greed that our nation has degraded into a cesspool!
Welcome to Facism in the US of A, folks.
I bet everything that I possess that when some future Keith Sadler is faced by a SWAT team, that SWAT team will be exposed to a barrage of semi-automatic and fully automatic gunfire coming from within the residence, and from members of the local community firing from the outside.
I neither advocate for nor believe that such behavior could be a right response. What I am saying is that as the phenomena of forced foreclosures increase, there will be counterviolence and it will become extreme. There are simply too many out there who feel that they have lost everything for reasons that are not their fault and will fight to preserve their homes, even until their dying breath.
