A Case of Proportionality

A man called JCSO to report that he’d confronted
a suspicious “partial Hispanic” fellow parked in his driveway on the afternoon
of Sept. 21. The racially ambiguous visitor carried a large manila envelope
with the man’s wife’s name misspelled on the front that he said contained legal
documents that must be hand-delivered to the addressee. The uninvited guest
wouldn’t give the envelope to the complainant, and the complainant wouldn’t say
when or where his wife might be located. His alleged mission a presumed
failure, the stranger left. Pressed by the officer for details, the man
described the interloper as a 6-foot-tall 20-something wearing jeans and a
T-shirt, and pegged him at “30-percent Hispanic.” He thought the truck might
have been red, but couldn’t be certain because he’s “color blind.”mexican
