hey got all of the fight they could handle. Hundreds of counter-protesters in the predominantly Latino city rose up to meet them, chanting "Go home, racists!" As news crews captured the clash, police in riot gear called for reinforcements.

The group's protests had drawn fire before, but nothing like what erupted last month in the working-class community.

"I couldn't have scripted it better," said Turner, a former stock trader who runs the anti-illegal immigration group from his Ventura home.

Augustin Cebada bemoaning the self-hating whites trying to aid the "reconquista" cause.

The comment by Augustin Cebada is incorrect. The ISO and SCHRN were organizing against SOS before other groups. The larger movement to deal with the MMP was focused on the border, but ISO was out there counter-protesting the SOS. The larger movement around Baldwin Park happened somewhat spontaneously, but was sparked by several different groups jumping on the issue at the same time.

The first BP demo was a confluence of efforts. The arts community got involved. The Chicano nationalist groups showed up. (Note that they didn't seem to be present to counter-protest SOS in Laguna Beach.) Immigrant rights groups got involved. MEChA was involved. A lot of anarchists got on board. And, most significantly, there were activists in Baldwin Park who took up the issue and actively organized around it.

The second BP demo seemed to be more of a effort by organizations to out-organize each other.
