Friday Cat Blogging: Reading Headlines To Buddy

Story Here Though I like what the Miami Herald wrote about the guy who went off on a Starbucks employee which started this dumbassery. Lead line: David Sanguesa said he was having a bad day. ….. Previous bad days: the one in 2008 when he was arrested on a DUI charge. The one a week later when he was again charged with DUI. And the day in 2014 when he was charged with domestic violence, which was later dropped.

I wrote a to do list today. 1) Read as much as possible to understand what happened. 2) Get your passport renewed just in case. That’s as far as I got.

It ends with this statement by Angela Kopit, of Taylor, Texas: “The things that my parents were fighting for the in the 60s are being taken from us now,” said family supporter and Taylor resident Angela Kopit who came to the Hutto center Saturday with her three sons. “This is the fear of immigrants in its ugliest form.” WFAA in Dallas has been investigating the story. Tonight they interviewed both Angel Kopit and Real estate developer Ralph Isenberg, who has become an advocate for the family, and who … Continue reading
