I found this off of the comments section of an Americablog posting. I decided to check into this to see what it was. It is pretty sickening. It appears that this Aryian website decided to develop this simple Flash video game called Border Patrol--where you control the U.S. border by shooting Mexican illegal aliens trying to cross over this border. The game does get pretty graphic with blood splattering as you hit your targets. It also appears that this game is getting picked up by the mainstream press.
Here is the link to play the game.
Here is a KNBC News web story on the game:
SAN DIEGO -- Human rights activists say a new video game is encouraging hate and racism in the debate over immigration reform.
The game is called "Border Patrol," and it challenges players to kill as many illegal immigrants as they can.
The computer game puts the player in charge of guarding the border with a loaded gun. The goal to kill as many people as possible, including pregnant women and children. Pedro Risol and other immigration rights activists are outraged.
"It's sole purpose is just to offer violence to the immigration question," Risol said. "It truly is disturbing."
The site plays up the racial overtones of the immigration debate. Those killed during the game are called "wetbacks."
The game is part of a Web site called "The Insurgent." Information on the Web site says that it is based in Temecula, Calif., just north of the San Diego-Riverside county line. The site claims that Tom Metzger, the head of White Aryan Resistance, is responsible for the content.
"Border Patrol" is just one of five games on the Web site that targets people because of their race.
"Drive-by 2" arms you as a drive-by shooter. Players score points for shooting up windows, joggers, prostitutes, and police officers. Killing a cop racks up the highest score.
In "Kaboom," players become suicide bombers. The goal is to take out as many people as possible with a bomb strapped on your body. The game breaks down the damage by number of men, women and children killed and injured.
Phillip Gay, a sociologist at San Diego State University, said allowing kids to play games like these can desensitize them to killing people.
"You get into the game and you want to win the game. We're competitive," Gay said.
The Web site claims that the games are not meant to be a threat against anyone.
NBC San Diego attempted to contact the people who run "The Insurgent" for comment. They have not returned the calls.
So this is how the wing-nuts feel about border control--kill the illegals! What I find especially disgusting is how the Republicans, and their media pundits, quietly condone this hatred and vitriol among its members. We hear it concealed in their social messages of gay marriage, or using Minutemen to watch the borders. Look at the comments section of Michele Malkin, or RedState, and you can read the hatred within them--calling immigrants, illegals, gays, liberals, Democrats, some of the worst names in the English language, wishing the most foulest means of torture and death upon anyone who does not agree with their extreme view. And when racist games such as this Border Control appear on the net, they are dismissed as childish humor. Consider this review of the game. Please note that the spelling in some of these reviews is taken as is, from the review and comments pages. Also, some of these comments contain harsh language and racist statements:
Speaking of illegal immigration, racism, and what have you, Aryan website The Insurgent has a whole slew (a horde, if you will) of racist, flash-based video games, including "Border Patrol," in which you try to shoot illegal immigrants as they run across the US-Mexico border.
Other games featured on the site include "Driveby 2 (Feel what it's like in the ghetto.)," "Watch Out Behind You Hunter! (Shoot the fags before they rape you!)," and "Kaboom! (Arab Training Game)." I liked the "Border Patrol" one best myself, but that "Driveby 2" is not to be slept on.
Regardless of where you come down on the issue, you have to admit this is some hilarious shit.
Or how about some of these comments:
I found a game called Border Patrol where you kill as many wetbacks as you can trying to cross the border. Its funny. You can check it out at http://freehost.nfshost.com/games/wp...der_patrol.swf My best score was 54
They are going to have a hell of a time "taking over" and fullfilling "reconquista" if they are filled full of lead at the border.
We should have started doing this in real life a long time ago. Perhaps less people would attempt to illegally come into the country, and those that did would be shot dead.
hey . ok.. why is this racist. when i saw this on the nws, i started laughing. like damn.. that's creative. and who cares it's just a game.it's funny. but you kow. fighting for Mexican rights. and yeah. i don't worry about it cause. i am already american. do you think the mexicans in mexico would care about americans. huh. Stop bitching and go with the flow. Damn.. and for all the ppl who say whit trash ans stupid shit like that. your being racist which viods your comment . so just shut up. Fuckin ignorance Bitches!.
That Border Patrol game sure was fun, you wetbacks run real fast, know wonder there's so many of you pieces of shit here, my high score so far is 53, I think I'll get 88 soon, too bad we don't implement the same thing in the game in real life.
Well I hope you wetbacks keep making out more gangs to kill each other off, see one of you wetbacks soon, you will know me by the guy in the uniform beating the shit out you.
Have fun you anti-US wetback pieces of shit/
P.S. of course Mexicans are going to be the majority soon, they are ignorant and breed like cockroaches, and for the most part there not much smarter then cockroaches.
FUCK all of you wetback fags, go back to your shit hole in Mexico.
This is how the extremists on the conservative side thinks. This is how the real wackos--who probably make the neoconservatives seem moderate view the issue of immigration. And not only are they expressing it in vulgur terms, but the conservatives laugh and shrug it off, as they are happily playing this game. It is depressing.
