@thomas martinez ... ' You have created a ghost like the "Brown Berets" to blame all your…Read More troubles on. A group of young brown kids who fix bikes? wow, how scary. Well since now you have all these opinions, ...' --------------------------------------------------------- thomas, how much research have you done with regard to the brown berets? If you ever try to google 'brown berets,' you will see that fixing bikes is not the main purpose mentioned on those sites ... maybe they do a modicum of that in Watsonville but it is not their main purpose in helping our youth. When they incite students to walk out of classes and to cause havoc in the streets and freeway, that is not a positive action for educating our young people. The main purpose of the website for bbs is negative support for our law enforcement and our military ... both of which are the boon of everyone's safety. And the brown fist raised with an angry attitude is not condusive to a peaceful and supportive action for this community. Strange how the non hispanics are always the ones labeled 'racist.' Why not just get off your 'empowerment for brown' and get with 'empowerment for all humankind.' If we are to live together then maybe we have to learn to respect one another's rights and person. Also ... NO on T ... we need fresh air and fresh land to keep breathing ...
