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.

“White American kids these days are such pansies.”

I wish people like you had the guts to say things like this in front of white men like me.

You mean “pansies” like the white American kids fighting in the Middle East, you $&#*$!?

Moderators: Why was my post cut when this racist jerk’s post is still live?

“Most of the liberals in my life. . . .but some, tend to get the “boiling blood syndrome” at the mere mention of illegals.”

In my experience the mention of “illegals” gets them angry, as the liberal prefer “undocumented.” In their wold, there is no such thing as being “illegal.”

I just checked it at KRON (7 a.m. EDT) and the video is working again.

I should have made myself more clear: I am NOT referring to the guys fighting in Iraq/Afghanistan. I am referring to the typical suburban white kids who cower in the face of such bold actions by the invaders. The wussification of our tribe has been extensive. 50 years ago, the invaders wouldn’t get away with such things in high school alive.

I didn’t say we don’t need to fight back. We need to fight back with the Gospel, and not like retards trying to start a brawl. Granted, I live in Oklahoma not California. I did live in Denver where I learned all I needed to know about the invasion. They did nothing wrong in bringing their flag, they did nothing wrong in going back and getting it, but they acted like 12 year olds when they were confronted. They were brave, but what came out when tried was adolescent belligerence.

These guys acted like morons. “What up B***!” “F this and F You” “Shut the F up.” It’s almost like they were left wing plants.

Most of our country is against them

True, but what's against us is 20-50 million illegals and a large number of Mexican-Americans who support them.

This is what happens when you basically throw your borders open and allow what is, in effect, an invasion to occur.

“It will be interesting when the federal government is forced to stop the unemployment checks and Americans get desparate enough to actually demand the jobs Americans wouldn’t do. Once the government runs out of money there is going to be an out right three or four way race war.”

I never thought of it that way but you explain exactly why the feds are carrying unemployment check so far. They fear that if Americans start demanding the jobs the illegals have taken there will be a race war.

That’s unfair. A lot of illegals work their a$$es off and pay their way (mostly). Turn off welfare, and they’d hardly notice.
You’d need to cut them off all the freebies to make an impression: ER visits, schools, etc. And that’s not going to happen.
You need to go after the businesses hiring them; fine the owners into penury and put them in jail (assuming they know their employees are illegals).
Of course, if they work like that AND they’re willing to assimilate, we probably want to keep them...

So that is why Kali has such a high welfare rate, and why if anyone looks at a welfare line it is loaded with Hispanics? The wife works in social services and so have I. We know the numebrs. Hispanics draw the most welfare by far.

But yet...where’s ICE and the federal government rushing in to enforce the laws already in place?

I did my civic duty last week and turned in an illegal from Mexico to ICE. I'm waiting to see if anything happens but I'm not holding my breath.

How about showing some respect for the American flag? Reciprocity is the best way to gain respect.
