Literally Tens of People Protest Fresno News For Manager’s Offensive Remark Against Hispanics, Get Results

Alright, dozens of people showed up in downtown Fresno on Tuesday, in order to protest the remarks made by former KFSN/ABC 30 General Manager Bob Hall. Last week, Hall tried to avoid jury duty by claiming he wouldn’t be a fair juror because KFSN’s newsroom had found statistical evidence that proved Hispanics have a propensity to commit violent crimes. Hall not only managed to escape jury duty, but he also escaped his job as general manager.

Hall resigned on November 22 after apologizing and stating that no such research or statistical evidence existed. However, Hispanic leaders would not disband until they were assured an investigation would be called into Hall’s possible perjury, since he was apparently under oath when asked about any preexisting prejudices that might conveniently make him unsuitable for jury duty, and to re-establish that no such evidence exists to prove Hispanics like to commit violent crimes. Hispanic leaders, as they like to be called, also managed to get the news station to promise to create a weekly show that will feature Hispanics in a positive light.

So, to summarize, a general manager at a news station claims Hispanics have a propensity towards violent crimes. In response, dozens of people, most “Hispanic leaders”, come together to force an apology from the station (including several statements all clarifying that no such research or propensity exists in reality) and they get a propaganda show portraying Hispanics only in a positive light. And what, pray tell, would have happened if they didn’t get their show? And why is it bad to lie under oath when a defense lawyer asks if you have any prejudices that would make you unsuitable for jury duty? If we have to refer to a few people as “white devils” to get out of jury duty, we’ll do it. It’s not a personal; it’s just life.
