Permits? We don need no steenking permits.

"When kids are walking on freeways, that's not free speech," said Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

What a POS hypocrite. He's the one who instigated it.

The United States is nothing without Mexicans.

Well, I know where he got that idea. From our President, who said the illegals were the backbone of the country. (Now please excuse me while I go lose my dinner.)

Some folks should be going to jail for instigating these days of street mayhem.. folks like radio jockeys who encouraged illegals and others to take to the streets.

Thousands of students took to the streets again to protest proposed toughening of immigration laws, but authorities tightened control by thwarting efforts to block freeway traffic, rounding up some youngsters and issuing truancy citations.

"The United States is nothing without Mexicans."

Not true. The United States is, well, the United States without Mexicans. I have no problem with legal immigration, but this really does demonstrate the mindset of invasion rather than immigration. This kid takes no pride in being a citizen of the United States of America (if he is).

Here's one from Dallas, Texas as well..

The test is taken at year-round schools like Huntington from March 27 to April 1, he said.

The real reason for cutting class, to avoid a test.

[SandRat]

One would think if the schools had real Principals in charge each missing kid would get an F for all of the coursework that they missed today and if it was a test, well, tough NO MAKE UP! Sadly though they don't have real Principals with the moxie to do that.

[Eagles6]

Huntington's attendance was well below 95 percent Tuesday because of 10 to 20 students walking out, students staying home because of safety concerns, and rain, he said.

They stay home because of rain? So what's the big deal anyhow? Only 50% of hispanic students graduate high school.

"Who will pick your fruits?"

"We're not kids, we're the future. We're the ones that are going to be sitting inside this building one day," said Carlos Zelaya, 18, pointing to City Hall.

Carlos, if you're going to be sitting inside that bulding one day, then WHO IS GONNA PICK MY FRUIT?

""It's not right," said Eddie Rodriguez, 15, of Carson High School, wearing a Mexican flag bandanna on his head. "The United States is nothing without immigrants. The United States is nothing without Mexicans.""

This kind of horse hockey is so damn infuriating.

Nativo Surfaces

Nativo Larry Lopez is at it again. I read earlier that Art Pedroza knew this malcontent dirtball was behind at least some of the protests, general lawlessness and truany seen all over southern California the last few days. Larry's not only encouraging student walkouts, but also wants the parents to go along.

Larry needs to go play in the traffic himself. Here's a segment from KFI's John and Ken Show this aft (Ken only) where their reporter Eric Leonard identifies Larry as one of the instigators. Leonard's their best news guy, and his stuff is mostly toward the end of the clip.

And there goes my dessert...

In Vista they were throwing rocks and bottles at cars that were drivin by whites.

"Who will pick your fruits?"
We will pick our own fruit thank you.

"The economy would collapse without us."
Not likely.

"We're not kids, we're the future. We're the ones that are going to be sitting inside this building one day," said Carlos Zelaya, 18, pointing to City Hall.
No, they're not kids, they're hoodlums.

Some students were unhappy with the marchers, complaining they didn't know what they were protesting about.
A single word comes to mind, one that I think describes perfectly the students that had no idea what they were protesting about: Lemmings.

"I don't think any of them actually read the 40-page proposed bill. They were just jumping the gates to get out of school," said Amanda Ellis, 15, of San Pedro High.
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!!!!"
