[UTUSN]

9. He could be the Rosa PARKS against the AZ law, but he doesn't complain:

It would be the perfect case for SCotUS, but if he doesn't "think being Hispanic had anything to do with it" and he "downplayed the detention" and "didn't file a complaint" even though "he wasn't pleased with the way he was treated" and thought they would be satisfied with his identity and knowledge of his medical condition -- OH WELL!1

This is called: Denial, passivity, go-along-to-get-along, ostrich-burying-head, Stockholm Syndrome. Well, he’s 96 and not our family's (sharp as a tack) kind of 96, is probably one of the tool-Hispanics of the past (and present), doesn’t “get” he could be the Rosa PARKS.

.... Castro told The Associated Press on Thursday that [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]he believed the stop was prompted[/FONT] by a monitor being set off, [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]not on his appearance[/FONT].

"[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]I don't think being Hispanic had anything to do with it[/FONT]," Castro said. He said he was detained for 40 to 45 minutes; the federal agency said it lasted 10 minutes.

The former governor [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]downplayed the detention[/FONT], noting that he [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]wasn't pleased with the way he was treated but didn't file a complaint[/FONT]. He said that he understands Border Patrol agents are "there to do a job" but that they need a better system for dealing with elderly people. He said he was exposed to the sun during part of the questioning.

"[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Once I identified myself[/FONT], who I was, and that I had been to the doctor, I was under medical care, I [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]have a pacemaker[/FONT] on my heart, (I would have [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]thought) that they would have[/FONT] been more considerate and [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]said, `Keep on going[/FONT].' But that didn't happen," Castro said.
