Pop goes the tires of the Minutemen in Lake Forest

Someone popped their tires. A few photos, not a major article, main page of Indymedia not necessary.

On Feb. 11, '06 Saturday morning to afternoon, a small group of Minuteman/Gilchrist participants did their usual disruption of day labor pick ups in Lake Forest on the corner of El Toro and Jeronimo.

On hand was me, Cliff, and Naui to counter protest against them. When I arrived, Naui was already there and I was surprised to see him. So I decided to chat with him. I don't have an official affiliation with Naui, but we're on friendly speaking terms and have some stuff to talk about.

Later in the day, it was discovered that a few vehicles belonging to the Minuteman participants were pranked on. Some nails were placed under the tires. One vehicle backed out and the tires were ruptured. The nails under the tires of the other vehicles were left there for photographs and police.

1Inchgroup of SOS posted on the SOS forums accusing me and Naui of placing the nails.

I had nothing to do with it and I will be contacting the Lake Forest police department about the false accusations. I will not take this lightly.

As for Naui, I can't prove his innocence. But I interacted with him throughout the day and never saw him in the parking lot where the tampered vehicles were parked.

Not that it's likely, but if anyone has any information, please contact the Lake Forest police department.

I have reviewed the footage and photos I have of today and found nothing that indicates who did what to the vehicles.

They have also accused me of targeting and going after their female participants which is untrue. I tried to help one of them reach her friend Sal who left her there by offering the use of my cellphone. Naui's sign was taken from him and I told gentle hold of it to indicate I wish to have it to give it back to him. That's about it.

There was also some apparent paranoia about the living whereabouts of their organizer. I have not told anyone where anyone lives.
