and there is no proof, as far as I can tell

That's what the court is for.

....who drove his van into a crowd of protesters

What was the guy supposed to do, just sit there while the lowlife scum tore his vehicle to shreds?

Were mounted police on the scene? If so, the tossed marbles (tactics to make the horses fall) constituted assault upon the equine police officers, putting life and limb in jeopardy.

The "protestors" came there to PROVOKE VIOLENCE, it was obvious.

yawn . .

An activist opposing illegal immigration who drove his van into a crowd of protesters in Garden Grove will not be charged ... prompting anger from detractors.

An activist in the peace movement for years, Lafferty is a former national coordinator of the National Peace Action Coalition. He chaired the largest ACLU Chapter in Michigan and has taught courses at the Wayne State University and University of Michigan Law Schools and The New School for Social Research in New York City.

Basic Civil Liberties and Bill of Rights Another Victim of the Attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. Interview with James Lafferty, director of the Los Angeles office of the National Lawyers Guild

The ACLU filed the Aug. 9 suit on behalf of the National Lawyers Guild, the Coalition to Stop the Execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal

"(The) LAPD's unconstitutional use of force targets everyone and anyone who dares to speak out about the injustices in our society," said James Lafferty, executive director of the Los Angeles Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, in the release. "Its target is the right to dissent. Its target is constitutional government as we know it."

Hamid Khan another activists brought six people to the protest. Sounds like the Muslim activists are starting to stick their heads out of the holes now too.

I hope the minutemen are videotaping everything. These lowlifes are trying to portray themselves as the victims.

James Lafferty, Executive Director of the Los Angeles Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, summed up what’s at the heart of the lawsuit: "The signal that we want to send is that dissent cannot be run off the streets of Los Angeles by a brutal, out-of-control LAPD.… This lawsuit is our shot across the bow of this police department, saying, ‘Oh no! We are not going to allow people to be intimidated, we’re not going to allow them to be run off the streets.’"

Only thing I can see that he did wrong was not driving back and forth a few times.

The more these Communists and anarchists take the side of the open borders elite, the more support there will be among the patriotic majority of Americans for securing the border.

"What's sticking in the craw of the protesters is that they would quickly let a man go without even charging him, whereas the students and protesters for much less serious matters were charged and there is no proof, as far as I can tell, that they did anything anyway," Lafferty said.

I thought assaulting a Police Officer was a felony?

STRATEGY: Stand on the brake and floor the gas.

Make a helluva lotta smoke and noise and gets lackadaisical cops off their rusty-dusty butts.

The man said that at least half a dozen LEO's were just standing around watching while his van got mobbed by acrimonious thugs. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on every last one of 'em; cooling their jets while crime is taking place right before their eyes.

If they won't protect and serve, T'ellwiddem!

And those MECHA thugs don't know it, but they're glad it wasn't me driving; I'd have slapped it in "B" for "Boogie" and floored it.

"Your Honor, as the mob was tearing up my van, I began to be in fear for my very life and took immediate action to defend myself by fleeing the scene."

Social war comes ever closer. Now mobs are forming in an attempt to prevent any action against the influx of aliens.
