This does not excuse the crime but if we are to understand why illegal aliens commit crimes, fake ID’s, illegally crossing the border, illegally collect state/federal benefits we must also understand why young black men attacking many illegals.
The black community has been displaced by the overwhelming cheap labor this has impacted the black community more than any other.
Not paying attention to the ill effect illegal cheap labor is having on society is as bad as having no compassion for the boy who was shot.

No wonder our nation is going to the dumps; because of some people who does'n have compassion. Why don't we take the example of this family who is ready to forgive the shooter? That's a real family whether they are illegals or not.

The suspect should be prosecuted to the full extent. Which means, as a juvenile he will be back out and about before we know it.

Hopefully Victor Bravo will recover quickly. No person, child or adult, should be a victim like this.

What a shame, the minute I read "he said in spanish" my sense of compassion was altered. Can't help it though ... I see another illegal unwilling to learn our language while tax payer dollars educate and mend this wounded child. Perhaps Mexico would be a safer place to raise their children.

It would be easy to say that you are uneducated, racist, and a bigot. Rather, I am asking Jesus Christ, who was not white by the way, to forgive you of your sins. We love you no matter what. May Go have mercy on your soul.

Be cheaper in the long run to pay for boats to Africa and buses to Mexico!

tbone wrote on February 28, 2008 07:36 AM: To answer that question is easy....It happened because Clark county does not have a plan to keep the campuses safe... When there is a fight after or before school or on the weekends the juveniles school of record should be notified because if the combatants go to the same school there will be a follow up. Had Western high known about the fight at the pizzza place on sunday, monday morning they could've pulled the kids from class, then they could've done a weapons sweep or search using wands and physically checking bookbags. If they did they probabyl would have found the Gun that i'm sure Tevin had brought to school monday. Was his intent to use it after school? who knows. But unless they have random weapons sweeps, occassional classroom bookbag checks and or metal detectors when the students arrive there will continue to be students in this district armed on our school campuses. In my estimate at least 3 or more students are armed today in our schools with a firearm. They know that noone is Checking.
