Essay 104

Our cup runneth over with ruckus reports. San Quentin was locked down following a melee between White and Hispanic inmates. Up to 80 prisoners were involved, which authorities claimed was the biggest riot at the penitentiary in 23 years. The rioting continues in Farmingville, New York, where Hispanics are being beaten and harassed by the locals. The Long Island area has been a popular destination for immigrants. But the regular residents are unhappy with the growing minority community, which includes many illegal aliens who ran North for job opportunities. Runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks — who originally claimed to be kidnapped by a Hispanic man — served part of her sentence by running a lawnmower at a government building. Seems like a pretty lame punishment. High school kids who break curfew are ordered to mow the lawn. Wilbanks should be forced to do landscaping work with illegal immigrants in Farmingville. Or prison time in San Quentin. Gotta run.
