Authorities in Texas say a man went next door with a rifle and began shooting his neighbors, killing an 8-year-old and four others inside a house near Houston. San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers said Saturday that the shooting took place just before midnight after the family asked the gunman to stop firing rounds in his yard because they were trying to sleep. Capers says authorities were still searching for 38-year-old Francisco Oropeza following the shooting in the town of Cleveland. Capers said there were 10 people in the house but that no one else was injured. He says the victims were between the ages of 8 and about 40 years old.

Lib neighbors asking me not to shoot my m-60 off at 11 pm so they can sleep. So I open fire on their house :chavez-guns:

      I don't think so. The shooter is a Mexican that's been deported twice. The Right are going to have a field day.

          Yeah it's not as if there aren't prejudices against different nationalities within Latin America, and it sounds like some of the victims had just moved in, so I wouldn't rule it out as a contributing factor entirely.

        They will either ignore the victims entirely or publicly mourn them as a loss of "proper" legal immigrants (only for a good few of them to be celebrating about the "trash taking each other out").

        "How could what the Croatian Ustaše did to Serbs be considered a genocide? They both had similar names!"

        (not to say that this was such a case, necessarily)
