Your local California news..........
Rocks Thrown at Border Patrol Chopper
Aug 25 3
1 PM US/Eastern
YUMA, Ariz.
Illegal immigrants threw rocks at a Border Patrol helicopter, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing when one of the rocks damaged the rotor, the agency said.
Neither the pilot nor the Border Patrol observer was injured.
The A-Star helicopter was two miles west of the U.S. Port of Entry in Andrade, Calif., on Tuesday when a group of immigrants began throwing rocks at the aircraft.
One baseball-sized rock gashed the rotor, forcing the pilot to land nearby, said Michael Gramley, spokesman for the Border Patrol sector based in Yuma, Ariz.
Gramley said he did not know how high the helicopter was hovering when it was struck, but he said it was being repaired and is expected back in service soon.
After the incident, 17 people were apprehended for illegally crossing the border, and two of them were being investigated for smuggling. Ten immigrants evaded capture.
The investigation into the rock-throwing was continuing.

Cliff notes:
Illegals attempting to cross the border throw rocks at border patrol helicoptor which has to make an emergency landing, and your tax dollars go to fix it.
Meanwhile, the CA Appropriations Committee passes SB60 to allow illegal immigrants to have the legal right to drive on your roads and carry the same form of identification (with no special markings) that you use to vote, and most other instances where your identification needs to be verified.
One Republican and one Democrat were absent from the vote, while all other Democrats voted yes, and all other Republicans voted no.
Stealthmode reports, you decide. :P

Re: Your local California news..........
This isn't stirring the pot, this is making an interesting post concerning the real life happenings in your world.
If you have more interest in helping Samson figure out how to drive his car, a post from someone stating they're stoned, a rant about darden resturants, or someone trying to find out how to hack an email account, keep checking back with HMT. Interesting real world things don't happen often.
