"sheriff joe" does the arrests and roundups of people he deems "illegal"--It would seem that he's insanely fucked up, and 'rounding up' people from a place of utter racism and hatred:
from phoenix new times:
Last year, Arpaio informed the GQ magazine that Mexicans are contagious.
"All these people that come over, they come with disease. There's no control. No health checks or anything. They check fruits and vegetables. How come they don't check people? No one talks about that!
"They're all dirty."
please know that there's a huge difference between 'phoenix' politics and the 'state' politics of racists like jan brewer, russell pearce (the guy with nazi affiliations), and sheriff joe arpaio--i still think boycotting is going to prove effective; i'm hoping that the all-star game is MOVED!
all-star game/arizona, la times:
