I just got off the phone with one of the guys there to burn the Mexican flag.

He said that his group was repeatedly threatened with violence and death by the "peaceful, American-flag waving migrants' rights supporters". Several water bottles were hurled at them with great force. He, somehow, avoided getting hit but others with him were hit HARD. It took 2 rings of police to protect them from the violent thugs who wanted to kill them.

They had 15-20 people in their group. They tread upon and tore a Mexican flag on the ground. They successfully burned that flag as well as a new one brought to the event to be burned.

They recognized several of the thugs as the same ones who disrupted a pro-border security rally in 2004 in downtown Tucson. These guys, with shaved heads and wearing bandannas as masks, came into the rally in 2004 and started pushing people around and intimidating them. They threatened senior citizens and children at the rally. They were recognized by other features such as tatoos. The group got several photos of the thugs who were making threats to kill them.

Police had to escort the flag burners, using a motorcycle escort, to the parking lot and guard them until they left the area.

One of the organizers of this protest had this to say, "They can try to hide behind their newly purchased American flags, but these are the same marchers that were there 2 weeks with the same message and the same hate for America and Americans."

I'm going to let all of you in on a little secret: If someone burns a Mexican flag in the presence of Mexicans, someone is eventually going to get killed. They simply do NOT tolerate such behavior. Now, why aren't we as protective of our flag/sovreignty as they are?

Lou Dobbs showed the burning of the Mexican flag. He also pointed out that more American flags were flying but some were up side down. He showed signs held by Mexicans that said "We were here first". Lou Dobbs was not fooled by any of this.

NO LAW AGAINST BURNING MEXICAN FLAG, BUT LAW AGAINST THROWING DANGEROUS ITEMS WITH INTENT TO DO BODILY HARM!! Were mexicans arrested? if not, why not.

Marchers,Teachers guilty of Sedition, insighting rebellion.Were they arrested?? Why not. Lots of police were there. Make sure all teachers receive penalty against US constitution, local rights, aiding and abetting criminals, stealing and defrauding government funds, medicare, welfare. If board of education gave permission, replace board and arrest, immediately. Must not be allowed to teach our children to riot and endangering children.
