Violence Will Not Be Tolerated
Immigrant related issues remain a hot topic in Butler County and most recently a violent situation arose in neighboring Warren County. It appears a group of Hispanic men attacked a home construction supervisor. The supervisor had questioned one worker’s status and refused to employ him without proper paperwork. The worker then left the job site and later returned with a group of men armed with guns and baseball bats. Shots were fired at the supervisor and he was assaulted with baseball bats. According to some news media one of the most dangerous gangs in the world, MS-13, may be involved.
As the Sheriff of Butler County I want to make one thing perfectly clear:
It doesn’t matter if you are a citizen, a legal alien, or an illegal alien violence is a crime and will not be tolerated in any situation.

for once i agree with jones on this topic VIOLENCE SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED, NO MATTER WHO IT IS
Welcome to America. While the President and the Senate set up their Lemonade stand at the Mexican border. The rest of us are left to deal with this scourge. I don’t blame anyone for crossing the boarder, if I were in their situation I would cross the border to. Free jobs, free welfare, free unemployment benefits, free education, free health care, in state tuition, and now free Lemonade. Where do I sign up?
I wonder if the Sheriff is trying to send a message that he is not scared of this gang?
Dear Boss Hogg, you are a joke. You make me sick. Shame on you for calling yourself an American.
I am an american of european ancestory, but I have pretty dark skin. I am sure glad I do not live in your county where I would live in constant fear with an obviously racist sheriff patrolling the streets. I wish people like you would focus on real problems instead of trying to score political points by making the immigrant problem into a bigger issue than it really is. Read the bible someday and see what jesus says about aliens and those in need.
Congratulations on your good work Sheriff.
Every law enforcement officer in the nation should have the fortitude that you possess.
We should never forget that liberalism is the disease that will destroy this nation.
I don’t understand the arguments here. It appears that have liberals have taken such delicate ideas as racism and religion and used them to intimidate people so that they will not speak out about the illegal alien issue. If this was an issue of race then we would not be referring to illegal aliens, we would speaking about some specific race. It is not the fault of American citizens that the majority of our illegal aliens are Hispanic and that should not prevent us from dealing with this very serious issue. Now let’s speak about Jesus for a minute since he keeps coming up. I can sum it up in one word Abortion. The majority of people pushing for amnesty are pro-choice. So the religion argument certainly doesn’t fly. You can call it racism and make references to religion but the citizens of this country are demanding this problem be fixed before our country goes bankrupt.
I am an American of European ancestry with a tan.
I wish Sheriff Jones was my sheriff. Our county would likely have fewer illegal aliens causing crime like assault, identity theft, social security fraud, food stamp fraud, and forcing taxpayers to subsidize their housing, utilities, and education. Fewer Americans would also be displaced with illegal workers who take their jobs.
We need more public officials like Sheriff Jones who see a problem and work to fix it…rather than sweeping it under the rug.
I’m certain that illegal aliens and their supporters despise the sheriff…they just have sour grapes because they haven’t been able to co-opt him like they have so many of our public officials.
So since they can’t corrupt him what do they do? They go to their playbook — and typically do what they always do — pull out the “race card” and try to bully him into silence by way of vicious charachter assination.
Luckily for the public, the sheriff is not bending under the unfounded vicious attaks by the illegal alien lobby. [Gee...a public official with backbone!]
Keep up the good work Sheriff! People of all colors are depending on your backbone to bring attention to the illegal immigration crisis in Ohio and the USA!
Way to go Sheriff!
It sickens me when people accuse others of racism for simply wanting our laws obeyed. It’s not about racism, it’s about a whole lot of people, millions of them, totally disrespecting the laws of this country, and good people like the Sheriff standing up for this country and what is right.
Hey, Ho, Way To Go Ohio!
We could use a few like Sheriff Jones here in Mexifornia. Appreciate him, Ohio, ’cause when it comes to the illegal invasion, you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.
.
Bob Radecki, for your information, illegal immigration IS a real problem!
And by the way, since you bring it up, just WHAT does Jesus say in the bible about aliens? Darned if I can find it!
In any case, Sheriff Jones’ job is to maintain law and order, not to follow the teachings of biblical passages.
Finally a Sheriff who upholds the law!!! The vast majority of Americans support you, and want illegal immigration to stop. Don’t let them deter you with the usual slogans they chant…racist, kkk, nazi. It just means that you are doing a good job, and they do not have an arguement to counter yours. Keep up the good work, and hopefully more men like you will appear in our time of crisis. They want illegals here for cheap labor, end of story.
They steal our sovereignty, our resources, our culture, and our standard of living.
Any one aiding and abetting illegal aliens are thieves as well.
Simply thieves - and the Sheriff should treat them as such.
Amen, Alb
I’m pretty damned sick of dolts like Bob and Luther, trying to turn this problem into a racial issue, i don’t care if your a blonde haired , blue eyed , Nordic King, if your an illegal alien your still “ILLEGAL” , have you bleeding hearts ever heard that word before ? It doesn’t mean your special, it means your un lawful, like a drug dealer , thief or terrorist. “Illegal” Get it ! I guess if I ever get caught braking the law, I’ll just start yelling discrimination because I’m 6′2″. “yeah that’s right, Those evil Nazi, police only arrested me because I’m tall !!!
Does anyone see how ridiculous this defense is , hmm…… anyone!
Still amazes me how people think ” illigeal aliens” work for cheap labor…. it not cheap labor they probably make more than most Americans do they just are willing to work longer and harder than other people. Americans want 10.00 dollars an hour to work at a fast food resturant and not do nothing but flip burgers all day… you say they take our jobs i know a lot of companies looking for employees why don’t you go out and get the jobs… too all the people who think Jones is a good sheriff if he was doing his job instead of worring about illigeal aliens maybe TWO YOUNG MEN WOULDN’T HAVE DIED WHILE AT HIS JAIL….. it seems we have bigger problems here in butler county besides immigration… immigrants have been here longer than some of you have been… you talk about boycotting companys … are you going to also boycott all the stores, hotels, house, and everything else they help build? why don’t we worry about the homeless people living on our streets and try helping them find homes and jobs….if Jones was such a GREAT SHERIFF why don’t he go out in the community and talk to some of these hard working illigeal aliens and see where they came from and why they are here look in the faces of their kids and wifes and tell them how they are a product of someone breaking the law. some of them have families with an American citizens and they are the sole provider for that family if that families provider gets taken away will JONES step in and take care of the family? Of course not he don’t care about the American citizen he only cares about headlines and making the news…. how does he know that the house he lives in wasn’t built by illigeal aliens…… and he is a racist if he is only targeting hispanics than that is racists we have illigeals from all over the world..
To the unknown person above, Sheriif Jones is only targerting hispanics who are here ILLEGALY. It seems the pro-ilegal alien crowd seems to have forgotten the word LEGAL. In fact there are others throughout the world that have waited years to come to America LEGALLY. So let’s cut out the race card. It’s getting way too old.
I see that some on this board make no distinction between immigrants and colonists. You know; immigrants come here because they want to be Americans, adopt our language and insure their kids speak English. Colonists come to bring their culture, set up shop like it was at home and make sure their kids speak only their mother tongue.
Keep up the good work Sheriff, we could use you or someone like you here in California.
