The anti-SOS crowd so enveloped the SOS people that they could only be noticed by passing motorists because of their large red, white and blue banners affixed to long poles.    <br><br> Joe Turner, the leader of Save Our State got himself arrested approximately 10 minutes after the scheduled start time of 8:00am for instigating a pushing match with a few of the counter demonstrators who were attempting to pass him on the public sidewalk and pretty much ended up talking himself into the back of a Glendale PD squad car earning himself an early exit and a trip to a cold holding cell.   <br><br> The leaderless SOSers stayed until their scheduled end time of 11am at which point they all left en masse to their previously decided upon parking location and after earning victory the 150-200 supporters of human rights dispersed as well. <br><br> According to reports on the SOS website (saveoursate.org) he made bail and was released at about 2pm.   The struggle goes on.  Donations are being accepted.   <br><br> The usual post-protest finger-pointing and bickering is now taking place on the SOS message board where members take turns blaming everybody but themselves for the miserable time they had.

Then they are  enslaved again upon reaching the so-called &quot;promised land&quot;, by the employers, who hire them. Or they reach so called gold rush, called America, only to find too many laborers are already here. Then the crooked employers, don't report taxes, and the rest of the American taxpayers have to pickup the tab. Once the illegal immigrant is already here in the USA, they cannot afford to return home. Or they can, but why go back to the problems they ran away from?\r\n\r\nWhile here they are exposed to temptations, considered taboo, back home, in the form of young underage girls, whom they can spend  minutes abusing, for the price of $30. http:\/\/www.loscristeros.org\/clinicexpose.htm\r\n \r\nIn January(2003), the Mexican paper El Universal published a three-part series on the trafficking of Mexican girls to brothels--rape camps, really--near San Diego. Over a 10-year period, hundreds of girls, 12 to 18 years old, from southern Mexico were either kidnapped or tricked by three brothers into coming to the United States. The girls were sold to farm workers--between 100 and 300 at a time--in small &quot;caves&quot; made of reeds in the fields. Many of the girls had babies, who were used as hostages with death threats against them, so their mothers would not try to escape.\r\n\r\nAND YOU SCUM WANT TO KEEP PERPETUATING THIS!\r\n\r\nSHAME ON YOU!  \r\n\r\n","author":"Border Raven","parent_id":141141,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2005-12-12 05:27:05","modified":"2005-12-12 05:27:05","fileurl":""},{"id":141163,"heading":"Iron Cross?","article":"Look familiar?\r\n\r\ny tu racistas\r\n\r\n\r\n","author":"Border Raven","parent_id":141141,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","created":"2005-12-12 05:33:07","modified":"2005-12-12 05:33:07","fileurl":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2005\/12\/men_shirts_west_coast.jpg","image":{"original":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2005\/12\/men_shirts_west_coast.jpg"}},{"id":141164,"heading":"Racists sos","article":"one word.

If you feel this is not your responsibility then stop bitching about all the &quot;illegals&quot; and the mexicanization of the U.S. You know what the real problem is, so fix it!&quot;\r\n\r\nThe per capita income in Mexico is $9600 a year.  The per capita income in Costa Rica is about the same.  Why are there over 10 times as many Mexican illegal aliens per capita than Costa Ricans?  It's because in Costa Rica, this income is more evenly distributed, while in Mexico much of it goes to the 15 Mexican billionaires.  Forcing the US taxpayer to invest in Mexico's infrastructure will not change this unequal income distribution.  If anything it will probably make it worse.  But if you Indymedia nuts want to make billionaires richer, go ahead and personally give them some of your money.\r\n\r\n\r\n","author":"Bowman","parent_id":141141,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2005-12-13 05:08:24","modified":"2005-12-13 05:08:24","fileurl":""},{"id":141297,"heading":"Nazi\/Iron Cross","article":"&quot;Adolph Hitler renewed use of the Iron Cross in 1939 and superimposed the Nazi swastika in its center.

During past political conflicts, some segments of labor have sided with racist or right-wing political movements.  More ofteh, they have taken a more righteous leftist position.\r\n\r\nFor example, labor was instrumental in the lynching of Chinese people when they were the targets of work-related hate.  Members of the working class lynched Black people migrating from the South.  During a few wars, labor has taken the pro-war side.  Very early in the UFW history, that union got in fights with Mexicans (but they stopped that).  Both big prison guard unions support expanding the prison industrial complex.\r\n\r\nThe fact that some union people, and some unions, take a political positition doesn't sanctify the position.  It doesn't mean they represent all unions.  \r\n\r\nThere were other unions that organized Chinese laborers.  Other unions created Black-White-Brown solidarity in the midwest.  The UFW eventually changed its position on the undocumented.  And some segments of the labor movement finally took a stand against this war.  There's always diversity, and times change.\r\n\r\nThe fact that SOS has a nominally pro-labor argument, doesn't negate the fact that they also have an explicitly opposed to labor solidarity.  SOS is not a union, nor does it seek to organize workers into one.  \r\n\r\nYour so-called &quot;aristocrats of labor&quot; are dinosaurs, and that aristocratic attitude led to many unorganized temp workers, and thus, to the huge temp agency business.  Why should some temp agencies get paid for the very same job that unions could have been doing?  It's because of the aristocratic attitude of labor, who ignored this growing part of the industry.\r\n\r\nAs for racism -- they're racist and anti-Mexican.  Just go search through the archives.  The history is there.  Their actions speak louder than words.  The presence of a few minorities doesn't mean a project isn't racist.  That's just tokenism to cover for the offensive reality.\r\n\r\nThe purpose of SOS is to be a vanguard group hoping to revive another Operation Wetback.  If the movement grows, their minoritiy members, so beloved now, will be tossed aside, if charges of racism die down.","author":"johnk","parent_id":141141,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2005-12-17 13:47:15","modified":"2005-12-17 13:47:15","fileurl":""},{"id":142021,"heading":"SOS","article":"You forgot one work.  SOS is anti-ILLEGAL Mexican.  Just like they are anti-illegal Chinese, Canadian, Russian, Brazilian, etc.  Yes, SOS does focus on Mexicans more than these other nationalities because Mexicans are 80% of illegal aliens.  And because Viscente Fox is the only foreign President saying the US has to take his unwanted people.  If you don't want to accept these facts then I guess that is your problem.\r\n\r\nAs for SOS turning into into the KKK after all illegal aliens are deported, that is a laugh.  There would not be much of SOS left, since over half of their members\/ supporters are non-white and\/or legal immigrants.  The latter group includes me.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","author":"Bowman","parent_id":141141,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2005-12-19 16:36:49","modified":"2005-12-19 16:36:49","fileurl":""}]}
