Texas Student Attacked Because Of Her History Assignment- Re: Illegal Immigration

Posted on April 8, 2008

[MAJOR UPDATE!]The 13 year old faked the whole attack and caused the injuries to herself and she was caught on tape!!!!!!

The girl now faces disciplinary action from the school and will be charged with filing a false police report, AISD superintendent Fred Hayes said during a news conference today. [End Update]

Melanie Bowers, a 13 year old girl was attacked in school after presenting her history assignment, which was to make a protest sign for or against an issue, and she chose Illegal Immigration.

She created a sign which read, “If you love our nation, stop illegal immigration.”

According to Melanie that sign somehow got passed around during the lunch break and angered some Latino students, one of which jumped on her back and put her in a choke hold and then slammed her face into the brick wall.

She also alleges that a group of boys threatened to rape and kill her.

After Melanie the incident to school officials what had occurred, they ordered her back to class, and told her could not call her parents.

Her parents deem this unacceptable, saying, “They handled this wrong, you know, they put a child back in danger. It was a very racially motivated crime.”

After the incident, Mr. Bowers said his daughter told him she attempted to use an office phone to call him. Hayes said Assistant Principal Mark Castleberry looked her over and “did not see anything wrong with her.” Castleberry did not allow her to use the phone, and she eventually used her cell phone to inform her parents she had been attacked.

A statement issued from the Athens Independent School District, the school in which this attack happened, given to KLTV 7, they confirm that an incident happened, saying, “We have a camera system in the building. We are collecting other information and statements from witnesses and this is all the information we have at this time.”

J.R. Bowers, Melanie’s father, told reporters, “It never should have happened in the first place. The whole assignment was a silly assignment and they should have contacted us immediately after it happened,” he concludes with, “I won’t be happy until the kids that did this are out of school.”

In an interview given to the Associated Press, Mr. Bowers says they are keeping their daughter out of school because they are scared for her safety.

Police are reviewing security video from Athens Middle School.

    The special interest lobby will go to any length to pressure to terminate any laws that enforces state or Federal immigration laws. The special interest groups have all the money that is funded by unaware taxpayers. This includesMEChA and La Raza (The Race) that openly advocate creating an apartheid style Hispanic only nation of Aztlan in what is the American South West. Separatist racist groups including La Raza, MEChA, LULAC, MALDEF, CHIRLA, La Voz de Atzlan, Zapatista Army of National Liberation and Mexicanos Sin Fronteras (Mexicans Without Borders). Not to forget the corporate machine, big religion, the ACLU, Southern Poverty league and even the US Chamber of Commerce. Many of these organizations are run by Marxist, Communist and just pure Anti-American zealots. Entities like the Ford Foundation supports these pure anti-sovereignty coalitions.

    We are receiving pure propaganda, spin or rhetoric of from the pro-illegal immigrant zealots. Read the forums, bulletin boards and comments? You will quickly learn that predator employers are hiring illegal immigrants, because its cheaper and they don’t have to pay out of their profits. Not only are illegals stealing African-Americans jobs, but all of our citizens. They are taking the jobs of a wide spectrum of American workers, with no consequences. That is why we must enact the Federal SAVE ACT and stop this travesty of our immigration laws. Democrat lawmakers are the real culprits, because their holding back their vote in Congress. They know that the new president will sign into law a massive AMNESTY, giving the 12 to 20 million illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.

    California as an example is in a real chaos, concerning it’s pandering to the special interest lobby. Assemblywoman Mimi Walters, a Republican from Oceanside, said illegal immigrants are costing California taxpayers an estimated $9 billion dollars each year. The governor has ordered the release of 22.000 inmates, who are considered low-risk; low danger to the public. READ AND YOU DECIDE FOR YOURSELF? NUMBERSUSA! AMERICAN PATROL! VDARE! FAIRUS! UNIPAC!

    When the ACLU sticks its nose in stopping THE PEOPLE’S wishes of sealing our border, you know that pending law must be good?

    America cannot afford to enact another AMNESTY? The ramifications are unthinkable on each states economy? Taxpayers will have to support even more illegal immigrants as the word gets out and millions more will pour into our nation.

    Keep calling your Democratic Congressmen today to co-author THE SAVE ACT! Toll free numbers include 18778516437 and 18662200044, or call toll 12022243121 AND REGISTER YOUR OUTRAGE at ongoing efforts to keep our country from enforcing its immigration laws!

    Those thugs should be expelled but they won’t be because we don’t want to hurt La Raza’s feelings now do we?

    In my mind, the assault & threats of terrible violence made against this girl are serious enough that the perpetrators should be expelled from school. Also, the students and their families should be investigated by the INS to see if they are in the country legally or not. If not, then DEPORT THEM IMMEDIATELY! Let’s send these little Mexican gangster thugs back to the sewer they crawled out of.
