ESCONDIDO: Protest held against driver's license checkpoints (3272)

It works now. Good to see all those comments on this. ALL are in support of Escondido PD.

These people are protesting a non issue. the Law applies to everyone! Why do Latinos have to complain!! They complain about everything, why don't they start complaining about their home country and leave us alone!!!!!

It is GOOD that they complain and protest. I am looking forward to the next Mexican flag waving protest within the USA. It angers the taxpaying americans and it will only hasten illegal alien mass deportation.

I see that someone has commented in the North County times comments section with my first post here including my handle. while it is a made up handle and my own words I stand by my post, good on you. I just added another of different wording.

Why does it always seem as if those activists from the "latino community" are always upset when cities finally decide to enforce the law. I mean, I do not see the Italian community, German community, the Chinese community, the Korean community, or whatever "community" you care to insert, carrying on with protests and what not to stop the law from being enforced!

What's going on! Does the "latino community" have something worry about that other communities do not?

No, they have big money and lawyers teaching them what to say and do.
They are here complaining about America and never about their lovely Mexico.
Notice all the ones complaining are from Mexico and not the other countries.

There was a serious drunk driving crash in Escondido two weeks ago where two people were killed.

When may we have the circumstance reagrding this tragedy. How will people learn by tragedies such as this one if the story is not told. Inocent people are being killed in this city and that is reason enough to have these check points.

I got my information from the CHP.

To the Blakes, our sincerest gratitude for going above and beyond your resposibilities in witnessing this terrible accident. The woman in the mini-van was my sister who is going to be greatly missed not only by her two sisters, mother & father; but most especially by her only daughter & son-in-law and their four children with whom she lived. My sister's four precious grandchildren have never known a time when Grandma was not right there with them.

Thank you to everyone for your kind words. While I don't know how I will manage without my Mom or how my kids will continue on without having their Grandma with them for everything, I know she was loved by many and it is a comfort.

To the Blakes. Thank you so much for staying with my Mom after the accident. It has been one of my worst thoughts to imagine her there on the road, cold and alone, scared and dying.

To everyone who gives me a little of their time and reads this, please, please, don't drink and drive. One man's "party" turned in to the end of my Mom's life and the end of our family's with her.

To Kathy's family, Kathy was my best friend at work. We had lunch together everyday. We shared many things during our time together. I feel like I know all of you, including your dogs.. I am still very much in shock as are many of her co-workers. Kathy was a delight to be around, and she will be missed terribly. To me she was like a sister...and I will miss her like one...God bless you all..
