Minutemen Protest (2 of 3)by 1Planet1People Friday, May. 27, 2005 at 2:09 PMThe Garden Gove Police Department conducted themselves in ways that were expected. They protected the racists, and attacked the people.
This is the continued report (2 of 3).
This next picture shows people from the Minutemen / SOS group trying to ensight violence with the peaceful protestors. It didn't work, but you have to give them credit for trying.

More people trying to insight violenceby 1Planet1People Friday, May. 27, 2005 at 2:09 PM
They tried and tried again, taunting protestors, inviting them onto private property (so they could get them arrested). These militia types will try any tactic to get a rise from the people, but it simply didn't work. People would verbally engage with them, but not fall victim to their tactics.

Its only 6:50, and the press is interviewing peopleby 1Planet1People Friday, May. 27, 2005 at 2:09 PM
There is one of the corporate media individuals in the crowd trying to get interviews. I think we should really think about how we conduct ourselves with them. Even though they are biased and usually work against us, there are many people on our side that see these interviews and will respond to the next demonstration. We need to get rational and calm people to talk to them. To appear non-biased (even though this is a joke), they have to put someone on, and if we only give them good solid points, that is all they can use. Yelling at the press does NOT help us.

Fox Newsby 1Planet1People Friday, May. 27, 2005 at 2:09 PM
They guy on the left was from Fox. I watched their coverage, and was surprised to see that it was really the most balanced of all the coverage I saw. Then I remembered that this is the one weird time that Bush and us both didn't like the Minutemen. Really weird feeling!! Of course this is all relative and the coverage for us could have been a little more honest.

The guy in the black shirt tried to taunt peopleby 1Planet1People Friday, May. 27, 2005 at 2:09 PM
He went so far that the police stepped in and had to have a stern talk with him. He is a lose cannon ready to go off. Please remember his face and watch your backs around him.

Who is this guy in the red?!?!by 1Planet1People Friday, May. 27, 2005 at 2:09 PM
At one point he was trying to debate a Native American for the news. I wish people had allowed for this to happen, as it would have made their side look bad. But later in the night he claimed to be opposed to the Minute Men Project and said he was not with, nor did he support the Save Our Street group. I could not figure out who he was, whom he was with, or where he stood on the issues. Confusing!

This guy was on their side?!?!by 1Planet1People Friday, May. 27, 2005 at 2:09 PM
I don't get these people, but then again look at Rice. There are always a few people who have self hate. I wander if he has any family living in the countries that are being exploited by our government?

The Vanby 1Planet1People Friday, May. 27, 2005 at 2:09 PM
This is the van that hit the protestors. I guess people know this guy as I saw his name, and phone number on another post. There was a window broken on the car to immediately follow the mad man's van. This is unfortunate as it is likely the reason that the fascist’s charges were dismissed. Though these people are racists, hate mongers, and violent vigilantes, we must remember what MLK and Gandhi were able to do. If we could have stopped this from happening, then the media would not have had a choice except to focus on them as the violent ones. The car window that was broken gave the press what they needed to paint the picture they wanted to paint (though I was enraged as well).

The Police Horses come to the front.by 1Planet1People Friday, May. 27, 2005 at 2:09 PM
The protest has now officially began (it is 7:10). The crazy drive has already hit the peaceful demonstrators (the only thing on the guys hood was the people that were being flung there when he hit them as his wife was screaming racial slurs at them). The police respond by letting the guy give interviews to the press, and then taking him into custody for the cameras (only to release him later). My guess is that they took him down to the station to buy him a beer and thank him for his hate crime. They then bring horses up to the crowd that is chanting, “Arrest the driver”.

8:00 pmby 1Planet1People Friday, May. 27, 2005 at 2:09 PM
The lapse in time is because I had to run home to post about the hate crime on here. The hate mongers had expected people to leave once darkness fell. They think this is a game and that we protest just for fun. If they had a clue about us actually not wanting racist vigilantes in our state, they would have known that we would not leave until they are gone.

They are in the meeting!by 1Planet1People Friday, May. 27, 2005 at 2:09 PM
We knew that we needed to drum out the hate, and people did just that. Dancing, drumming, and celebrating the people!

To serve and protect.by 1Planet1People Friday, May. 27, 2005 at 2:09 PM
The police assemble in their riot gear to make sure that these extremists are allowed to plan their attacks on the poor people of the world. I wander if they would do the same if we wanted to plan attacks on rich white men!

She looks mean.by 1Planet1People Friday, May. 27, 2005 at 2:09 PM
Maybe just upset that she has to fight the types of groups that gave her the right to vote, the right to be a police officer, and the right to equal pay. If her side wins, she loses.

The Maceby 1Planet1People Friday, May. 27, 2005 at 2:09 PM
I missed the important info on this cop (face, badge number, etc.) and I apologize for that. He was taunting people with the mace, looking for an excuse to use it. It is now 9:00pm
