For several months members of the nativist group Save Our State (SOS) have been harassing and intimidating Jornaleros and their employers, on a nearly weekly basis, at the Home Depot in Canoga Park, California.

There have been several confrontations between SOS and Jornaleros that ended in violence. Two of these incidents resulted in two separate arrest of SOS members, one of those for using a tazer gun against a Jornalero.

The latest attack by SOS against Jornaleros in Canoga Park occurred on March 4th, 2007.

A video posted on YouTube by SOS member Dennis (aka AmericanPatriot77 and americanpatriot77.com) shows SOS member Sam Ziselman (aka SZinWestLA) getting in the face of a Latino male (presumably a Jornalero) and pushing him. A few moments later the video shows Dennis, who is filming, pepper spray another Latino male.
