Video: Mexican Protester Rips American Flag From Hand of American (Live Oak High School)
Sunday, May 9, 2010 | Kristinn

Posted on 05/09/2010 9:35:40 AM PDT by kristinn

A video taken this week by KRON-TV in California shows a Mexican demonstrator swatting the American flag out of the hand of an American counter-demonstrator during the march by Mexican Live Oak High School students and others upset that American students wore American glags to the California school on Cinco de Mayo.

The video, posted at KRON on May 6, 2010 by Brian Shields, shows a pick-up truck with at least three young men waving small American flags mounted on sticks from the windows as they ride alongside the Mexican march on the sidewalk. The pick-up truck is shown stopped with a female demonstrator engaging the occupants in an argument when a male demonstrator walks up to the truck and angrily swats an American flag from one of the passengers.

The truck pulls away, then stops and the occupants get out to retrieve the flag. Police are suddenly seen trying to do something. It does not appear that they arrested the male who swatted the flag out of the hand of the American.

A woman demonstrator gets between the two sides and shoos the Americans away as they go back to the truck after retrieving their flag.

A reporter tries to interview them about the incident, but Mexican demonstrators walk up to the truck and the scene devolves into profanity-laced verbal pot-shots.

The rest of the video shows scenes from the concluding rally where the Mexican demonstrators demand 'respect' and chant 'si se puede.'

Several of the demonstrators tried to cloak themselves in being Mexican-American, yet the only flag they carried wass the Mexican flag. We see how they treated the American flag.

“Americans do NOT need to fight back as these young RETARDS did.”

What?

I sure hope someone archived the video because it will not stream. It is either overloaded (nearly all internet links go to the KRON site), or what is also possible with it being the liberal MSM--I would NOT rule it out--is they have removed the video because they know it is a POWERFUL image that will radicalize too many American Patriots and knock the ones sitting on the fence en-masse into the Tea Party camp.

It needs to go viral on to many other sites so people can stream and see for themselves.

This has been ongoing for a long time.

Dungaree Liberty handled it once.

You know, Freeper Men and Women, fellow Americans, I think this one photo (taken relatively recently on American Soil) a) says it all, b) shows what kind of battle we are truly in, and c) indicates we are in for the cross-generational LONNNNNNG HAUL on this one, before things are adjusted and corrected:

PS I would imagine there was no shortage of "Anchor Babies", grown or growing up, in that crowd that day.

The video is not working at KRON, hmmm...

But, Fox Nation picked up the story this evening and their embed of the KRON video works fine.

Click here for page with video at Fox Nation.

It looks like it is going viral. I just checked and it is one of the lead stories on the Fox Nation home page. Their title: Video: Hispanic Students Knock US Flag to the Ground

“Shoot me, if you must, this old gray head,
But spare my country’s flag,” she said.
A shade of sadness, a blush of shame,
Over the face of the leader came;
The nobler nature within him stirred
To life at that woman’s deed and word;
“Who touches a hair of yon gray head
Dies like a dog! March on!” he said.

Has Obama weighed in on this? I would expect him to say that the flag-waving Americans “acted stupidly.”

LOL - good one!

If it in any way damages their cause, such as riles up the Majority of Americans, why then, they would spike a video off of their own site, I would not put it past them, especially a liberal station like KRON in a liberal town like San Francisco. That would be a story in and of itself if it could be proved wouldnt it? "Liberal MSM TV station suddenly pulls video because it incites too many against amnesty and illegal immigration."

Ken Norton once said something like ‘If you lose a fight in your mind, you will very soon lose it for real’. We’ve (not all of us, but enough of us) have lost this in our minds. We’ve been instructed over and over that we are weak, evil, etc... This has been done with subtle stereotypes in the popular culture. This is my opinion. Make a list of commercials and television shows. If there is a conflict, disagreement, or difference of opinion between folks of different cultures or sexes, write down what you see as the portrayal of those involved. If there is a lesson learned, who was the one who needed to be taught something?

I recently saw an article about “winners and losers” in the education/career area. The article was accompanied by two pictures. One showed three college age girls, smiling broadly. The other one was a grey-suited man sitting on some steps, briefcase at his side, head buried in his hands.

To me, he was cast at the loser. I guess one could argue about the message, about what was being characterized there. I know how I took this. I’m just asking you to pay close attention to the messages that are being delivered. What are the motives? More importantly, what would the effect be — of seeing these portrayals thousands of times? Who is the:

1. Coward
2. Wimp
3. Scumbag
4. Turn coat

This (obviously) isn’t a complete explanation, but it doesn’t have to be. It only needs to be a player in the problem. We pick up cues on how we are “supposed” to behave by these portrayals, and cues on how the world is supposed to be. What is the message in the character of Homer Simpson? Who does he represent?

What has caused us to lose our nerve, to refuse to stand our ground?

I’ll check it again tomorrow morning. It would be really foolish of them to pull the video.

America was a melting pot. Now it is a nation of native born citizens.

I think the end game is genocide.

This is the reason that citizenship requires that you are born with allegiance to the U.S. These ‘anchor babies,mexicans’ have no allegiance to our flag or nation. They are NOT U.S. citizens and need to be deported with their parents.

I will also check it at something like 3 a.m. in the Central Time zone, which is a no brainer for me 1/2 a world away. Tons of people will not be up at that hour just to watch that video!
