GARDEN GROVE — An event honoring an anti-illegal immigrant leader tonight was marred by altercations between anti-immigration activists and protesters, resulting in an arrest when two demonstrators were hit by a slow-moving van.
The driver was Hal Netkin of Van Nuys, said Barbara Coe, chairwoman of the California Coalition for Immigration Reform.
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.
Netkin was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. At least one of the protesters was hospitalized.
"Knowing (Netkin), he panicked," Coe said.
Billy Hall, a member of Coe’s group, said shortly afterward that his car window was broken by a protester. Hall said he filed a police report.
The event sponsored by Coe’s group honored Aliso Viejo resident Jim Gilchrist. Gilchrist’s Minuteman Project last month attracted nearly 900 people to patrol a stretch of Arizona border in an effort to stop entry by illegal immigrants. The effort was praised by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger but condemned by President George W. Bush, who called the volunteers "vigilantes."
"I’m damned proud to be a vigilante," Gilchrist told the 150 people assembled at the Garden Grove Women’s Club. "How about you?"
He received a rousing ovation. He also said that deporting the millions of people in the country illegally would lower home prices, reduce traffic congestion and lower taxes.
Nearly 100 protesters picketed and chanted on the sidewalk. 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."

The illegal aliens were out in (violent) force chanting "La Raza, La Raza, La Raza - meaning "The Race."
This is going to be a loooong hot summer. The potential is 100% there for this uprising to make the Watts Riots look like a nursery day care center.
And it won't be confined to California. The more the illegal aliens become anxious that their political platform is not going to hold water, the more they will riot for equal rights. Wait and see.
No I didn't see it but things are getting more serious. I'm glad I don't live in Southern California though!
LOL, we are heading to the border, and crossing it, this weekend!!
Lock & Load......
If they steal from American citizens - their vehicles, property, assets are fair game
Thanks janetgreen. I'm doing it right now.
I suppose the increasing violence on the side of the illegals is to be expected. Although I was very glad that the first Minuteman Project went through without a problem. Proves it can be done and who is causing the problems. I'm a little nervous about taking my 14 year old with me to San Diego in June, since I don't trust the other side.
I'm glad to hear J. Gilchrist say he's glad to be a vigilante - turn the President's words against him!
BTTT for more coverage.
The pro illegal immigration lot are so peaceful, aren't they?
:~)
THE PING!Sounds like Arnold got into more than he ever expected when he became Governor!!
Violence worked for Blacks during the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's race riots.
This will be a different playing field. Entirely different.
Blacks back then were LEGAL CITIZENS. These illegal aliens are not - and they are FLAUNTING IT - daring our government to do something on large scale.
How disturbing!
If you are like me and get all kinds of solicitation for money from the RNC and other conservative groups, just send back a big "NO" on the donation stub and a big "Secure Our Border!" on the letter and mail it back in their prepaid envelope.

~ Reported in Los Angeles Times, Nov. 21 2001.
"In an extraordinary political move, President Vicente Fox has announced the formation of a cabinet level agency to govern, protect and provide services to over 20 million Mexicans now living in Aztlan, a territory encompassing most of the southwest part of the USA. President Fox declared yesterday that he will personally lead the new agency he named "Consejo Nacional para las Comunidades Mexicanas en el Exterior" (National Council for Mexican Communities Abroad). The "Council" will consist of the president, most of the cabinet secretaries and a, as of yet unnamed, representative from Aztlan. This is a bold move that essentially extends the arm of the Mexican government into the territories it previously lost during the Mexican-American War of 1848."
~ Reported in "La Voz de Aztlan", August 7, 2002.
"We have Nicaragua, soon we will have El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Mexico. One day, tomorrow or five years or fifteen years from now, we're going to take 5 to 10 million Mexicans and they are going into Dallas, into El Paso, into Houston, into New Mexico, into San Diego, and each one will have embedded in his mind the idea of killing ten Americans."
~Thomas Borge, Nicaragua Interior Minister as quoted in the Washington Times, March 27, 1985

After I gave it some thought, I DO recall the lower (fictitious) 2 to 3 million, but is was quoted by some Mexican official, and not that long ago.
Send Obed Sanchez the bills; that will shut him up.
These thugs apparently like picking on old people. There was an incident back in '04, IIRC, where an elderly woman was shouted down by some of these "protesters". They were wearing bandanas over their faces, and the old woman pulled the bandana down on one of them, exposing the scumbag's face.
As I recall, the woman was arrested, charged with simple battery or some such B.S. Outrageous.
