Cultural background: Cinco de Mayo celebrates beating the French and is a favorite of Mexican Americans especially in Texas, and white knuckleheads in California. It is not a public holiday in Mexico. Mexican Independence Day celebrates independence for Spain. Not a big deal among Mexican Americans. The celebrants in Chicago are almost certainly recent arrivals.

Most Gringos do think Cinco de Mayo is Mexican Independence Day. Go figure!

All cultures are equal however!

What the hell is this Mexican Independence Day all about? Septemberteenth? Don’t anyone tell the demented one about this one. He’ll want to put it on the calendar.

Mexican Independence Day celebrates independence for Spain.

Spain looks back at Mexican Independence Day with relief!

The Battle of Camerone in 1863 (aka the Battle of the Wooden Hand) was where vastly outnumbered French Legionnaires fought an overwhelming force of Mexican troops in what is regarded as one of the most heroic Last Stands in history. Not quite up there with Thermopylae, but akin to the British last stand at Gandamak (the Brits lost), or the British defense at Rorke’s Drift (which the Brits won).

The celebrants in Chicago are almost certainly recent arrivals.

What about the people causing the violence and mayhem?

Recent arrivals or people who have lived in America for generations and are responsible for most of the violence in Chicago?

It's hard to tell at this point from the videos.

They could send 1,000 buses of illegals to places like Chicago, D.C., etc and they wouldn’t even notice.

Illegals are very transient. In fact the chances of them showing up in your town are great regardless of where they were dropped off.

??? Why are they celebrating “Mexican Independence” in Chicago? Last time I checked, Chicago was in the United States!
