I have read similar reports but that statement always brings the question to mind, "If we give in to people who threaten violence if we don't give them what they want, what is law enforcement about?"

That cycle of violence faded into history BECAUSE of Tutu and Mandela

South Africa's ruling ANC has ordered its youth leader to stop inflammatory comments after he was accused of stoking racial tension by singing a song from the era of the struggle against apartheid with the words "Kill the Boer".

ANC Will Not Discipline Malema
By Reuters
20 April 2010

South African president Jacob Zuma has decided to not discipline Julius Malema after a Monday meeting to discuss the ANCYL's recent public controversies, a youth league source tells Reuters.

Malema has come under heavy criticism for his repeated singing of "Kill the Boer," an old ANC struggle song banned by a South African high court as hate speech, and his throwing out a White news reporter from a press conference in a racially-charged and expletive-laden outburst.

"His comments were made on behalf of the Youth League and not the ANC. We are independent and if there needs to be any disciplinary hearing it should be conducted by us," the youth league source said, who attended the Monday meeting.

The source also told Reuters that "Malema's comments were made on behalf of the Youth League and individuals should not be singled out," indicating the group is going to stand behind their leader.

The ANC says it is still thinking about what can be done with Malema.

"The request for us to pronounce on what action will be taken, is premature, the ANC is still considering what to do," ANC Deputy Secretary General Thandi Modise told reporters on Tuesday.

Modise distanced Malema from Zuma by adding, "Whatever Malema does, does not make Jacob Zuma a strong or weak president. The president should be judged by his own performance."

And when the law itself is unlawful?

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

I guess you, like the Arizona legislature, feel there's some magic way to detect illegal aliens on sight.

2.As for the Fourth Amendment, I believe there has been an assumption, but never a Supreme Court ruling specifically stating that aliens in this country illegally are afforded Fourth Amendment rights.

Often legal law-abiding citizens are asked to show ID. I had to show legal ID to get a flippin' library card. Big whoop. I always carry ID with me. It's the sensible thing to do.

Good grief. You won't be thrown in jail if you don't have ID to get a flippin' library card.

And I'd bet my last dime that you don't carry anything proving you're a US citizen.

And the Arizona law does not require anybody doing anything suspicious to arouse probable cause. It just requires that you exist. Kinda hard to enter Arizona without existing, isn't it? But that's all it takes.
