Across America, Latino Community Sighs With Relief

[Ratbstard]

I'm amazed that they had the nerve to make this incident a national tragedy while ignoring all the "average American lives lost" which are seemingly acceptable. Anyone who fails to see this double standard of "the ruling class" caring more for themselves than "all Americans" surely has partook of the Kool-aide.

This article has 400 comments and most are not happy with Daisy Hernandez including many Americans of Hispanic Descent who say they are embarrased by this article.

My eyes scanned the mobile papers. I held my breath. Finally, I saw it: Jared Loughner. Not a Ramirez, Gonzalez or Garcia.

The only reason you held your breath is because you know how many Americans are killed by illegals every year and it's just a matter of time before one of our legislators are attacked by one.

you are we 100 % right.

That NPR printed the term "Gringo" is insulting.

GRINGO
The word gringo is a derogatory term used in Latin America to refer to white English-speakers, usually Americans, especially in the context of alleged economic, cultural and political interference in Latin America.

One rather fanciful theory traces its origin to the Mexican-American War of 1846-48 and the song "Green Grow the Rushes-oh", supposedly sung by the American troops.

According to another theory it is a corruption of griego or "Greek", in the sense of anything foreign and unintelligible, as in the English expression "it's all Greek to me".
