12. Border Patrol checkpoints do not "stop all traffic." Some passes through, some is detained.

Since the SCotUS decision on the AZ law came down on June 25, it is natural for this topic to be of interest over days and weeks, and what parts did "the media" and MSNBC leave out: They said he was stopped by Feds, that the trigger was radiation. I've seen more than three threads with different media links and I haven't seen one that specifically cited racial profiling, although the layers of the timing and persons involved lend themselves to reasonable digesting of all the possibilities.

And the AZ governor's and ARPAIO's behaviors and the AZ law make "all your curse words and negative comments" seem like rain from heaven.

And I, for one, will always fall for kangeroos. (ON EDIT: I swear I posted this before I saw pinboy3niner's post below.)
