At least one girl was seriously injured Tuesday as hundreds of students from Dallas and other area school districts again converged on Dallas City Hall. By midday, buses were arriving to pick up the protesters and return them to school.
Witnesses said an 18-year-old Spruce High School student's hand was severed when a van of students in which she was riding rolled over at an intersection...
... Meanwhile, hundreds of students streamed off trains at Union Station and marched up Young Street in downtown Dallas, whooping and hollering, waving the Mexican flag and chanting Si, se puede, meaning Yes, we can. Some tried to push their way into City Hall; others began jumping into the fountain outside...
... Detective John Brimmer, a Grand Prairie police spokesman, said the protests were keeping patrol officers away from other responsibilities.
"I'm not saying they don't have a good cause, but they could do this after school," Brimmer said. "Basically, we're just baby sitting a bunch of kids who have found another excuse to get out of school."

When reporters called the Irving ISD asking if they would pick the kids up with buses at the train station, the school district replied "No way, Jose!" (OK, not a direct quote) and that since they got there on their own they could get back on their own.
Even some of the idiot local media is starting to catch on. I've heard a couple of radio newsbreak interviews with these students where the brats indicate no clue of what is being debated in Congress. Favorite quote: "I'm here for the, um, ah, the Mexico thing."
And here's another genius from the article:
Jason Cisneros, 14, said he knew he was supposed to leave Lee after first period.
"Maybe George Bush will know that he's hurting us and let us have equal rights, he said. "Christopher Columbus discovered America and he was from Spain, so it was our home first."
LOL!
Oops, should be "are starting to catch on."
I better be careful, lest I start sounding like these protesting Einsteins.
LOL. Christopher Columbus was from Italy.
Mexican radio stations and their DJ's are responsible for advocating these protest from coast to coast.
I just heard that some kids did the same thing in Fort Worth, even walking a "parade" type fashion on the downtown streets...
I told someone on another thread about the accident in Dallas, and I told them...that the parents of the girl with the severed hand (I also heard some kid hurt his head when jumping in fountain)...will be suing DISD and the City of Dallas...you watch.
Maybe they can join Camp Casey on 75 and Meadow.
Columbus spent most of his time on the Island of Hispaniola, and Cuba, perfect places to send these idiots back to.
And some folks here at FR claim that DART rail isn't being utilized.
Priceless!!
Priceless .... er, unless you consider all the tax checks being written this season to send these little maroons to school.
Somebody needs to start asking for protest permits and making arrests if no permits are found. Funny how the media doesn't want to talk about this crap once they figured out it only pisses us off.
Police were escorting them.
I think you were right the first time:
Media is (media is a singular entity)
reporters are (reporters are the plural gaggle that make up the media)
Maybe they can borrow France's water cannon to use on them....
really ?
