That is the big worry of the Los Angeles Times in reporting about the protests against Donald Trump yesterday in Costa Mesa. Here is the Times wringing its hands in worry as reported by Ruben Vives and Shelby Grad, about the "unintended consequences" of displaying the Mexican flag which proved counter-productive in the past:

They don't want the protesters to wave so many Mexican flags...but for PR purposes only.

I thought the proper use of the Mexican flag was at campus cinco de mayo celebrations.

This will help Trump just like the left helped him win Illinois.

Little late to worry. It was plain to see. Some might call it a migrant uprising.

..the “unintended consequences” of displaying the Mexican flag which proved counter-productive in the past...

It proved very counter-productive in Texas in 1836.

It’s SOP for the Left to hide who and what they really are. Their actual program is so vile it has to be disguised.

Most everyone at the LAT should read “Unintended Consequences” and get educated a bit.

So for y’all in the East, this is our reality.

Mexican terrorists threatening U.S. Presidential candidates.

We have to live with this garbage every day in California courtesy of anti-Americans like the Bush family not only doing nothing about it but sympathizing with them.

And people in places like New Hampshire not understanding what’s happening here.

This is TERRORISM and INVASION. You bet the LA Times is fretting: even hate filled anti-Americans at that “newspaper” understand the reality of what’s happening.

Run it on the news all over the U.S. - have the ordinary people see what’s being done to them, as if people in the Southwest didn’t already know.

I’d worry even more about the imagery of the flag-wavers jumping on police cars and beating people up.

The “unintended consequences” being “giving the correction impression”.
