Officer Hurt, Several Arrested During Anti-Immigration Rally
2006-07-10

Note I used KABC's headline. It was actually an anti-ILLEGAL imigration rally
An officer was injured and six people were arrested during an anti-illegal immigration march involving the Minuteman Project and other groups Saturday evening in Hollywood, police said.
guess which side precipitated the violence....
One female officer suffered a minor injury, apparently to her ankle, after clashing with protesters, said Officer Sandra Escalante, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Police Department.
Counter-protesters stood along the sidewalks shouting as anti-immigration demonstrators, including members of the Minuteman civilian border patrol group, marched along Hollywood Boulevard. The Minutemen, many of them carrying American flags, had a permit to march.
huh....obeying the law. What a concept.
Minuteman founder Jim Gilchrist was among the marchers. Angry counter protesters, some wearing bandannas to cover their faces, yelled at the Minutemen and called them racists.
the tolerant left
They also tried to join the march, but since they did not have a permit, police stopped them, sometimes forcefully.
I hope they cracked their f*cking heads with batons
Escalante said several people were arrested, though it wasn't immediately clear if they were part of the anti-immigration march or the counter-protest.
guess?Police estimated the number of marchers at 200 shortly after 7 p.m. The march began at Hollywood Boulevard and Argyle Avenue, Escalante said.

#6  In Alabama it is unlawful to protest with one's face covered. A hold-over from the anti-Klan laws. Seems a good idea to me.

#5  Anyone protesting the march should have been picked up in LA, and put down in Mexico City.

One of these things upsets reporters. The other doesn't. Any guesses?

(For my part, anyone covering their face at a demonstration should be arrested, as it's clear intent to commit violence. Hell, anyone covering their face outside of Halloween should be subjected to a bit of police scrutiny.)

#2  Counter-protesters stood along the sidewalks shouting as anti-immigration demonstrators,

Lie number 1 - these were anti-ILLEGAL ALIEN protesters. They do not have any problem with immigrats - only ILLEGAL ALIENS. Calling this an 'anti-immigration march' is a boldface LIE on the reporter's part.

yelled at the Minutemen and called them racists.

Lie number 2 - implying that being anti illegal alien is RACIST. It isn't. But the article deliberately leaves that little tidbit out.

immediately clear if they were part of the anti-immigration march or the counter-protest.

Lie number 3 - a repeat of lie number 1.
