Violence Erupts at O.C. Protest
Los Angeles Times ^ | May 26, 2005 | Monte Morin and David Reyes

The way the Times wrote this differs from the account of the driver, Hal Netcalf. I heard him interviewed on the radio this morning, and he said his car was surrounded by protestors, people were pounding on his car, ripped one of his windshielf wipers off, and police watched nearby but did nothing. So he merely tried to move closer to the police. He was actually put in a jail cell with other protestors who were arrested!!! At the end, he was not charged and was released.

Hmm...

This is a weird story.

Biased reporting? I think so.

I am aware that the Times is biased. I just wanted to bring attention to the incident and present Mr. Netcalf's side of the story.

The allegedly injured Azatlan activist, was interviewed on a stretcher, and gave his name as "Yasser". Strange name for a Mexican or central american.

Well, it looks like Californians are the frogs in the kettle, it's time to get some guts and do something, don't think the cops are going to help you, they're too busy looking out for their jobs.

They didn't do anything about the riot and injuries caused by the Azatlan goons at the "monument" either. Sorry if you're scared boys (cops,deputies), but you were hired to protect folks, now the job gets real serious, doesn't it?

You don't think our Troops are anxious before going in to search for weapons, make arrests or to take down known terrorists in Iraq/Afghanistan? But they do it, don't they! Time to do your duty boys, get busy.

When I saw the photos from the Baldwin Park monument protest http://www.teamamericapac.org/ta-gg-050523-baldwinpark.shtml, I was struck by the fact that there were people there dressed like Palestinian terrorists. Some have tee shirts printed with "Muslim" and I can't make out the rest of the words. I don't know what the connection is, but I don't like it.

I've noticed that people are apathetic about it. Maybe people are just too busy. Maybe they are uninformed. I just don't know.

The "Voice of Azatlan' website is allegedly run by Latinos, but it appears to be more jihadist than anything else. There have been jihadists infiltrating from the southern border.

...he was not charged and was released.

A purely trivial fact. /sarcasm

Oh, don't apologize. The more who read about this, the better. Different newspapers used different headlines so it was difficult to not have duplicate threads.

This is exactly why we need to screen the border!
