1 Latino-sounding surname out of 9 arrests

Sorry, typo. It should read:
2 Latino-sounding surnames out of 9 arrests
The running total is now 35 Latino-sounding surnames out of 127 arrests.
why do u always comment about how many latin sur names there are?
The idea was to put some data out there for the discussion about whether Latinos commit a disproportionate number of crimes in Red Bank.
I'm about done with it because it's more tedious than I thought it would be. Satire is so much easier.
why would you think someone is keeping track of latin sur name criminals
When there is a story about a crime and the suspect has a Latino-sounding last name some posters will use it as an opportunity to complain about the number of illegal immigrants in town and how they're ruining our lives.
No one is keeping track. But some people were making conclusions based on no data. So I threw a little in.
Facts don't change bigots' minds. But if you're lucky, a few facts will shut them up.
27.6% of crime is being committed by 17.11% of the population according to these stats. Unfortunately, this in no way represents a real sample and does not account for where the accused actually live (among other problems).
If the LATINOS can't behave here in red bank they should be forced to leave. THEY SHOULD BE THANKFUL FOR A NICE PLACE TO LIVE AND NOT BE OUT TO MESS IT UP.
WAKE UP PEOPLE .
WHERE I LIVE THE PERUVIANS HAVE TAKEN OVER.
THERE IS NO RESPECT SHOWN TO ANY OLDER RESIDENTS OF THE TOWN , NO MATTER IF YOU ARE BLACK WHITE, LATINO. I WOULD HATE TO SEE THAT HAPPEN TO RED BANK IF NO ONE IS THER TO PEACEFULLY TEACH A COMMUNITY HOW TO BEHAVE PROBLEMS START.
