Video: Mexican Protester Rips American Flag From Hand of American (Live Oak High School)

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.

You guys just don't understand. These are people, they have their own nation, and they take it with them wherever they are. JUST ASK THEM.

You're absolutely right. All you have to do is listen to the girls shouting at the end of the video. "We just want to celebrate our national holiday!" (Cinco de Mayo) "This is our country!" (She isn't talking about the U.S.)

See, it took me a while to figure out what these pro-illegal immigration protesters were REALLY arguing for. What they’re really arguing for is socialism.

Do you see Carlos Slim or other successful Mexican businessmen trying to support these rioters? No! They know how the world works, and they know that the far left is dangerous. Mexico’s president is a conservative.

These protesters/rioters could care less about immigration. Most Hispanic immigrants who came here legally don’t care either and just want to go about their business. The rioters are just trying to organize a power bloc to push their political agenda. Plain and simple. It took me a while to figure this out, because you do hear lots of talk about “reconquista” and so forth, but honestly...if you think about it, with the current idiots running Los Angeles and Southern California...they might actually be better off under Felipe Calderon’s administration (I’m only partially being sarcastic).

It’s not about immigration. It’s about socialism.

If they tried that with me they better have their Obamacare card ready for that quick trip to the hospital...

You’re insulting.

You don’t know the half of how California schools are run.

[Tzimisce]

You know, foreigners (legal or otherwise) can’t protest in Mexico. It’s against the law there.

Yeah they demand respect - but they’re not going to give any.

THis is becoming outrageous.

I hate to tell you this but alot of the Mexican crowd that are in the US, legally or illegally, are being taught that the evil white man stole their property. They are going to try and ‘reconquista’ and they will use violence if you try and stop them.

[doc]

Post 30 gets it.

The video won’t play for me, but that’s ok.

The Mexicans are shouting: “We want respect”.

Ok. Respect commands respect. In other words, you gotta give it to get it.

"{What more proof does any sentient being need to understand"

"Gee, you would think they were Muslims and the American flag was like a cartoon of Mohammad."

Neither one, have the same chance of assimilating!

The Mexicans are shouting: “We want respect”.

May Day Marchers.

SIGN: "You owe us America. We will shoot more Arizona police until we get free."

L/E is looking for that guy---it's a crime to threaten violence. This stupid little brownster needs to know: Things endemic to the Third World----drug-running, illiteracy, serfdom, slavery, ruling elites, armed street patrols, mob rule, bribery as a way of life----do not fly here.

Inflicting Third World savagery on the US ain't gonna happen no how.

===========================================

Just here for a better life---plotting to takeover the USA.

The founding fathers were correct in requiring a child born on American soil have parents that have allegiance(subject to the jurisdiction thereof) to the U.S. in order to be a American citizen. These ‘anchor babies” of illegals are not citizens as they have no allegiance to the U.S.. The 14th Amendment needs to be enforced. It is my opinion that anyone that supports this violation of Constitutional law is commiting a act of treason. The illegals ‘marches’ prove my point.

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

Yes, appeasing & capitulating has worked so well up to now, hasn't it? Get your head out of the sand! Our country is being destroyed from within by liberals, lefties, socialists, uzzlims, race baiters, illegal aliens galore....and you say we don't need to fight back? Our country was formed on the basis of standing up and fighting for our country and we have defended & fought for our country for the last 230 years. It's long past time to man up and lock & load, or we won't have a country left. Let's roll!

[AmericanInTokyo]

This is precisely why, not only because they continue to break the law and therein prove and validate their basic dishonesty and disloyalty, that there can be NO PATHWAY TO U.S. CITIZENSHIP because it begs the question, "DO WE WANT THESE PEOPLE AS CITIZENS IF THEY ARE NOT NOW NOR WILL THEY IN THE FUTURE BECOME FIRST AND FOREMOST LOYAL TO THE UNITED STATES AND THEIR NEW CITIZENSHIP"??

This is one question anyone who says this "we should secure the borders FIRST. Then we can talk about pathway to citizenship." nonsense, both Democrat and Republican alike.

[AmericanInTokyo]

While I agree mostly, I have to point out that it is not a "civil war", when it is not between and among Americans.

This is between The United States of America and a Foreign Power (primarily Mexico and citizens solely allegiant to it), therefore it is a War of Invasion more than anything else.

Nice post.

It didn’t work out well for Rome either.
