[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The decision is the correct one. Yes, he should have made courtesy calls to a few people before making the decision public, but really, there's nothing to consult about. It was the right call.

+1. Seems that some members of the council just like to be offended about everything. Boo hoo, so you weren't consulted, who cares.[/quote]

Not everyone wants to hide and cower in fear. 
You think Latinos should hide in the basement for 4 years? [/quote]

I can’t speak for all Latinos. I don’t claim to speak for anybody, but myself and I know my family shares the same sentiment. We are not afraid and not hiding and we’re not scared. We are citizens. We’re not buying into the fear that so many people want to put into us that we should be hiding in a basement

By canceling the festival, which we go to every year with our friends and family, the message it sent to people is that Latinos are here illegally and all Latinos are scared to go out. It feeds the fear and it is irrational.

But whatever, they are not going to listen to us because we are just Latinos.

I love how Elrich as an old white man makes this decision without consulting actual stakeholders.  He's such a hypocrite.[/quote]
