First, I would challenge Dale to name 20 black families, or 20 Jewish 
families, or 20 families period outside of his immediate social group 
who believe that being called to answer for blatant and repeated 
violations of the law is "persecution."  Second, if I were Dale, I 
would be damned careful not to go down the armband route; that leads to 
a pretty offensive analogy, and one that does not hold up under 
scrutiny.

Instead, I suggest that Dale and his illegal boarding house cronies 
pony up for matching T-shirts that read "Serial Offender.  What are you 
looking at?"

PS: My father-in-law, Don Huskey, is a decorated Marine Corps veteran.  
He's a man I love and admire for his kindness, his rationality, his 
unfailing courage and his strength of character.  Don Huskey signed his 
boarding house complaint (which, I would note, was only one of three).  
Putting your name to a civic action that is bound to win you as many 
enemies as it does friends is not the mark of a coward.  A coward is a 
snotty little git who sits on his fat fanny in a dimly-lit room and 
types empty insults on a public chat group.

PPS: Do something with your life, Donovan.  You're not too young to 
enlist.  Or join the Peace Corps.  Or go build houses for Habitat for 
Humanity.  There are people out there who are the genuine victims of 
persecution -- learn to speak Spanish, or Chinese, or Vietnamese, or 
the language of the working class, and get yourself out there and help 
them.  Waving your short sword around in defense of a load of fat, 
bearded, privileged white guys is just plain sad.
