I am Assyrian. I live in phoenix. I was not part of the convention. My occupation kept me on the biltmore property for the weekend. A few points: Dont talk about the SB 1070 law if you know nothing about it. Your boycotting it because your going off the information the media presents. Does the media show the 100's of deaths of illegal's in our deserts every year from humman smuggling? No. Did the media widley report the story from a few months ago of a So. Arizona rancher shot and killed on his own land from a drug smuggler trying to make a new rout for his illegal activities? No. Or how about the officer that was ambushed off the freeway south of tucson by and illegal? Nope. How about the number of crimes commited by illegals in west phoenix? nope. Notice not once have I used the word mexican. beacause its not just them, but anybody who undermines our laws and enters the U.S. illegally. This ridiculous buzzword "undocumented". used to describe those unlawfully entering our country, is just another way of describing someone who is breaking our laws. Illegal. as far as the profiling goes, last week I was pulled over on the 202 for expired tags (the tags were in my car, i just hadnt put them on the plate yet) The officer asked me for licsense, registration, and proof of insurance. He was respectful, and when I told him I could not find insurance card, he told me to make sure in the future you have it on you because its illegal to drive without insurance. He didnt waste my time, reminded me to drive safley, and quickly let me continue on my way. If arizona is so racist, dont you think the officer would judge me by my dark skin and arrest me for not having my insurance card? Now onto the converntion: The hotel was wrecked for three days, parties till 4:30 in the morning, the Biltmore had to hire 8 police officers to break up the multiple fights on property, the drinking, the rudness. It was unacceptable, and although i am extremly proud of my heritage and the wonderful people within our culture, I am not proud of how a large number of the attendees handled themselves this weekend. I felt like I was the jersey shore national convention. This is all I will say and will deavtivate my account shortly. I suggeest that if you dont want to keep getting kicked out of hotels each year, that you learn a little respec for the places you visit and the people your around.
