When Projections Attack!
como se dice, “merdo de vaca"
LAT - lead graf:
LATimes: Three people were injured and at least eight arrested Wednesday in Garden Grove after a motorist drove into a crowd of 300 demonstrators protesting a speech by the founder of the Minuteman Project, authorities said.
The LAT, 5th graf:
LAT: The motorist had attended Gilchrist’s speech and was leaving when protesters began hitting his van with placards and other objects, said Garden Grove Police Lt. David Kivler. The driver, who was not identified but spoke to a KCAL-TV Channel 9 reporter, said he gunned his car engine to get away from the crowd. The man was arrested.
Authorities said the incident occurred when 100 listeners attempted to leave through the crowd of demonstrators. Kivler said protesters gathered around one of their cars.
“They surrounded it and started beating on it,” Kivler said. Then, a second car tried to get through the crowd as well.
“As he was doing so he hit at least three people,” Kivler said. All three were transported to a local hospital. None had major injuries, he said.
oooh. Well, that’s a little different. Odd lead graf, that…
The tiny little totally local paper, OCRegister was able to ID the driver…
Orange County Register: Protesters were blocking a driveway when Netkin tried to drive through and knocked two demonstrators to the ground, Deputy Police Chief K.J. Raney said. ...The driver was Hal Netkin of Van Nuys, said Barbara Coe, chairwoman of the California Coalition for Immigration Reform. ..."Knowing (Netkin), he panicked,” Coe said.
Which paper also included this unfortunate choice of words from Gilchrist:
"I’m damned proud to be a vigilante,” Gilchrist told the 150 people assembled at the Garden Grove Women’s Club. “How about you?"
Nice. Didja not know that would be quoted?
Falling back on the al Qaeda Moonbat Playbook©, protesters are intentionally missing the point and crying “Racism!” [are we really sure that Mexicans are actually a different race? It never struck me that way, but, then again I am from Cahleefohrneeiah.... whatever.]
One sign read, “Beat Back the Racist Attack.”
“Their racist acts are being masked by patriotism,” said Obed Sanchez of Garden Grove. “To say illegal immigrants are coming over here and ruining our lives is ridiculous. We need immigrants like a tree needs water. Even President Bush recognizes that."
Way to miss the point, there, Obed.
Ok—let’s toddle off the the ol’ email-bag, shall we. Soprize, sporize! What do we find festering therein? A little missive from La Voz de Aztlan:
If you were unable to drive to Southern Arizona and protest the Minutemen vigilantes and their racist and violent attacks towards Mexicans, Indians, and Central/South Americans along the US/Mexico Border, then here is YOUR CHANCE to send them a message of opposition.
....er, I missed those “violent attacks.”
We have spoken to the chairwoman of the Woman’s Civic Club and she states that they are well aware of the Minutemen and are prepared to face protestors. We informed her specifically that by hosting this event that it brings pain to the surrounding communities, and she stated that they had no control over that. The Chairwoman of the Woman’s Club has no sympathy for the pain that her club brings into our community. Please call the Woman’s Civic Club(714) 539-3134 and leave them a message of your discontent of tomorrow’s event and come to the protest.
Yes Sí, they cried, “you‘re forcing us to be uncooooomfortable...” Replied the Chairwoman, “and you.re telling me this, why?”
I included the number in case anyone wants to call ‘em and tell her how much you enjoyed her response.
Hasta La Victoria, La Alianza Indigena
Yeah… Hasta la Backomyhand, bayyyybee.
From the website:
James W. Gilchrist is the founder of the terrorist organization known as the “Minuteman Project.” Gilchrist uses his Aliso Jiejo home as the home base for his miulitia. His band of nearly 1,000 vigilantes, many of whom will be armed, plan to occupy and militarize the Arizona/Mexico border. This group of vigilantes is taking the law into their own hands in order to terrorize immigrants and citizens alike.blablabla ...Gilchrist’s anti-human rights and violent agenda.
Then they post his address and phone #. Brave man, Gilchrist.
Further word from Aztlan:
Upon re-establishing his government in Mexico City after the defeat of French forces at Puebla on Cinco de Mayo, Benito Juarez said, “Entre los individuos, como entre las naciones, el respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz” . For our English only readership his statement translates as, “Between individuals, as between nations, the RESPECT for the rights of others leads to PEACE ”.
uhm.... yeah.
