They tried to burn down a coffee party shop, obviously those were TEA partiers.

[Tzimisce]

Mostly peaceful protests....

It was a peaceful but “unpermitted and unsanctioned event,” he said, until some in the crowd started breaking windows and spraying paint on retail shops that line the downtown corridor. A fire was started —————————But a TEA party dare not be where they are not ‘permitted’....

I assure you, more people will be held accountable for this as we review videos

Maybe that is because these were nothing but college brats that were not wearing masks, that are typically worn by organized anarchist?

Proof of what they are.

I’ll bet they were Methodists, too!

It’s going to be a long hot summer. Protect yourselves

[historyrepeatz]

Amazingly, the Times has no pictures! /s

[JrsyJack]

An “unpermitted and unsanctioned event” in support of unpermitted and unsanctioned immigrants...who woulda thunk it?

[skeeter]

No further details on the rioters? Who they were and what was their beef?

Not that more details are necessary to anyone who can put two & two together.

Unfortunately, the viewpoint of many PDs is that if it’s just property damage, then it’s not worth their time b/c insurance will pay for it. Guiliani had the right idea: if you don’t stop criminals from doing the little property crimes, they will escalate to larger and deadlier crimes.

Police spokesman Zach Friend said an estimated 250 people started marching through the city around 10:30 p.m. Saturday.

It was a peaceful but "unpermitted and unsanctioned event," he said, until some in the crowd started breaking windows and spraying paint on retail shops that line the downtown corridor.

Peaceful??

Whoever they were, I don’t think this raised their approval rating with the American people.

That is a “duh!” but protesters sometimes think vandalism makes them seem serious in their beliefs.

I saw some clips on the news of the Che’ Day “rally” in Phoenix yesterday. Lots of Mexican flags and signs with obscenities about Governor Brewer. “Diversity” sure can get ugly.

Santa Cruz California is a sanctuary city. None of these vandals if they are here in the country illegally can be arrested.

[Man50D]

Send in SWAT? No! Send in the national guard? No! Send in the Quincy grandmas!!!!!!!

[RoadKingSE]

I believe it was a famous former resident of Santa Cruz that once said, "What Jeffe was saying was (maybe it was Jefferson), Hey! You know, we left this Mexico place (maybe he said England) 'cause it was bogus; so if we don't get some cool rules ourselves - pronto - we'll just be bogus too! Get it? It's US History. I see the globe right there."

Completely amazing. They're all silly, sure, but a couple of them are plainly psychotic --you will see.

The Santa Cruz Sentinel calls it a riot.
