"I attended the Baldwin Park event as a news videographer for an independent program. The coverage we obtained was incredible, thanks to you folks. We were particularly impressed by the fellow screaming "Zarqawi! Yes! Yes!" and "Intifada!" and "Too bad Osama bin Laden did not have a nuclear bomb to drop on that dirty Jew shithole Manhattan!" That guy was a real charmer and it's all on tape. We got broad coverage of many of the obscenities, violence, cries of "Go back to Europe!" and "Our land!", good shots of the elderly lady who was struck in the head.
We plan to air this on local television in Santa Barbara on "What's Right with America" [ http://www.kirkbytv.com ]. I expect that, despite the major media presence, the more extreme stuff won't be aired by anyone else. We've got close to two hours of footage to choose from and we will put in all the juicy bits so the viewers will understand that Mecha/Aztlan is not just about helping Chicano students get educated. Yeah, we got good closeups of the Mecha banner and racist signs too.
After the event, a small group of nearly all white 'progressives' sat down to an after-action review meeting. In particular, one young lady complained of a breakdown of communication. Her statement was, "The progressive thing to do is to push into the police lines to raise the level of police response. But, there was so much confusion they did not catch our signals." It became clear that there was an orchestration by leftist agitators to push the event to the level of violence - just so they could claim police brutality, etc. While we did not get video of this meeting (they were VERY wary about outsiders) we do have a clear shot of this particular young lady in the Mecha mob. They also commented on gaining a new recruit or two - particular persons who displayed real energy and enthusiasm and anger who would be willing to use that in the 'progressive' cause.
It is clear that if the agitator organizers had their way, police would have been firing tear gas into a Latino crowd that included little children. Just think how this would have 'inflamed' the Latino community. That is their strategy.
From my perspective, you folks were the clear winners in this confrontation precisely because of the response your presence evoked. My question to you is whether you are willing to push hard to get this sort of footage on national media and whether you are willing to take more personal risks to defend this nation. There can be no doubt that you are up against a militant force that has alliances even with Islamists. The Aztlan web site, along with statements made at the event, have made this abundantly clear. I get the feeling that you may need to continue these sorts of events, perhaps even returning to Baldwin Park in greater numbers (with greater risk), and increase the effort to get national media attention.
If you would like to try to get mainstream airing of the footage, we can provide you with a copy of the tapes or even an edited segment. I suggest a massive email campaign to FOX news, the only station even remotely likely to air it. There was a FOX cameraman at the event but I am pretty sure he wasn't getting the juicy stuff.
It's time to get the word out."

BTTT........
Good work! There must be some way to get this video aired.
I personally woudn't know where to start but there must be a FReeper somewhere that knows. You be careful out there. You are dealing with a bunch of nutcases and there is no telling what they are capable of.

Make copies available to Rush, Hannity, and Hewitt. And for good measure, make copies and send them to Homeland Security and the FBI.

I bet Newsweek will air it!
In all seriousness... find a webhost for it. It will spread like wildfire. Forget the networks.
NEVERMIND
Keeping tabs on this for later.
The blogs will help, too, because the blogs are activating news coverage just as Drudge was finally able to do (after being dismissed for years).
F'n sad. I look forward to seeing more footage.

Border issues documentary PING!
Interesting post. The event sounds like an anti-ID rally held by militant Hispanics recently in a Maryland suburb of Wash, DC.
What was the event and where is Baldwin Park?
I see the text mentions possible televising in Santa Barbara so I'm assuming that Baldwin Park is somewhere in or near SB. Is that right?
Obviously many in attendence were Hispanic militants and the report mentioned one group, Mecha/Aztlan. Was that group the sole sponsor? Did some non-Hispanic leftist groups co-sponsor? Was there a specific reason for the event such as opposing some bill in the legislature?
bttt
Incredible footage.
The enemy within.
Why not agree to give LA back? These folks are doing us a favor.
