Every time I read an article about this senseless killing of office Nettleton I feel like crying.

Is there somewhere we can donate to help the family?

Seriously angry white folks, you should know that you are yelling at no one.

I don't personally know a single African American or Latino(a) who does not want work across whatever perceived gap there is (in no small part whipped up by right-wing hate radio) for the bettererment of everyone in the valley.

And you'd even be surprised how many conservatives and Republicans there are in these communities who want to join up but are intimated by the vile racism and hate mongering of the 21st century Know-Nothings.

This is silly.

The way Las Vegans talk about Hispanics is shameful

The only thing more absurd is how they have become the whipping boys (and girls!) for EVERY problem facing the Vegas Valley.

Rising unemployent? Must be the illegals!

(Nevermind the Vegas has only one industry and that the State was poorly prepared for this recession)

Eroding quality of Public Education? Must be the illegals!

(Nevermind that CCSD is an administrative nightmare and the State of Nevada poorly funds public education)

Drugs and Crime sweeping the Valley? Must be the illegals!

(Actually Meth is rampant in the White community in Vegas, along with guns, alcoholism, and domestic violence)

Maybe the real problem is not with those folks who walked risked everything to BE HERE; maybe the problems we face are caused by those who have TAKEN FOR GRANTED their "birthright" to be here.

Because, frankly, Vegas used to be a nice city...before YOU got here!

This is straight Leno material.

Only in Vegas.

All the xenophobic know-nothings are up early this morning!

Oh know, the Mexicans are invading! What is next, the return of Irish orphan ships?

If only we could require all Americans to have white skin, then law enforcement agents would know to round up...

Honestly, if I was as educated as poorly LasVegas2009 I'd be worried about a little competition as well. But then again, it is nothing that a little discipline and hard work can't overcome...but first step is getting out of your momma's basement!!

Wow - his life reads like an incredible adventure.

Damn.

What a waste fo a career.

Everything is Vegas is corrupted by money.

Even after this Great Recession shifts into a tepid recovery, American middle-class consumers will bear the psychological scars of prolonged financial insecurity.

The will see, and understand, the the value of dollar in a much different light.

The boom times are over.

The challenge for Vegas will be to repackage its "visitor experience" in a manner that is consistent with the "new normal."

Ottokrum - You are a freakin' weirdo.

You make paranoid folks look sane.

Also, folks that molest children deserve to have their lives "ended" by a good long stint in the federal slammer.

Most reasonable folks are sick and tired of child molesters, meth zombies, and drunk drivers that over populate our valley. We DEMAND justice.

And frankly, it is long overdue.

Weirdo.
