Garden Grove -- A protest against the founder of a volunteer border-watching group turned violent when demonstrators started hurling rocks and bricks at police, authorities said.
Five people were arrested during the protest Wednesday on assault and weapon charges. Another man was arrested for driving a car into a crowd, but he was later released and no charges were expected.

I really hope someone can follow up on this and find out if the ones arrested are illegals
I wonder how many of the protesters are illegals???
My thought exactly.
A guy can use his car as a weapon and there is no arrest?
Reckless endangerment at the least
Yeah, and they are the ones saying the border patrol folks are dangerous...
If they speak little or no English big chance.
Their actions demonstrate (ha ha pun)the need to purge the illegals. They don't care about the rule of law. They do not abide by our law. Get 'em out.
There were several threads on this story this morning...the guy you are talking about had his van attacked by the mob/protesters and may have knocked one or two to the ground as he drove very slowly (<5 MPH) over to the cops who ignored his predicament.
Those same cops suffered injuries a little later when the mob unleashed their anger on them...tossing full soda cans at the cops and the folks who attended the rally for MMP co-organizer Jim Gilchrist.
Thanks for the clarification
Hal Netkin is an elderly man and has a website called mayorno.com. He is part of our illegal immigration reform group called California Coalition for Immigration Reform (C.C.I.R.) and is married to a former illegal turned legal citizen, and they have 3 or 4 adopted children. Now there's a racist for ya'. Did I mention he's of the jewish religion which is hated by Mexican hate groups like La Voz de Aztlan?
He was either leaving or entering the parking lot when his car was swarmed by these unlawful (as usual) protestors, who were hitting his van with their signs, beating on his windows, and screaming vile epithets. Hal was scared. In front of his van he could see several police officers in riot gear and tried to move his car closer to them to obtain some help, which bumped some of the protestors to the ground. Of course, they were screaming that he tried to attack them with his van and several fell to the ground with (what turned out to be) minor injuries.
Hal was arrested, along with a handful of "them", but was later released by the police who didn't press charges. You can bet the lowlife pond scum will, however.
I talked with Hal on the phone after seeing the shocking footage last night on the 11:00 news. I had an interview with my local newspaper regarding my volunteerism with the MinuteMan group, so I didn't get to hear Jim Gilchrist speak. That's why the filth was there.........to protest Jim and the MMP.
By the way: L.U.L.A.C. supporters were the more violent in the crowd. LULAC has grown to be a very seditious and hate filled group. Dangerous to boot. Southern California is on its way to some serious battles. These folks plan to follow minutemen (and women) wherever we go and foil our attempts to stop the illegal alien invasion. The police are getting tired of this too.
Wow! Whoever wrote this won't have a job for long. I can't believe such an accurate description got past the editors.
If this makes you mad, as it does us, please write to these folks and let them know this won't be tolerated anymore and that we have no intention of standing down.
Thanks and bless your efforts with C.C.I.R.
Who funds LULAC? Get every scrap of info on them you can. Then, if or when something happens, you'll know who to sue.
Sounds like the civil war is going to start going hot soon.

I Googled it....haven't a clue as to who's FUNDING it. Somewhere on one of the sites it says they were founded in 1929...
