I live in Batavia Illinois just a short distance from Dennis Hastert’s office. I decided to snap a few pictures of the march. I am sure some of my pictures won’t be in the MSM.

AAR?

[infool7]

This Guy didn't want me to take his picture so he held the sign in front of his face

[infool7]

This was early about 11:00 just one School Bus so far

[infool7]

The march was well organized at leats they had enough port-o-pottys I am not sure that these residents are so happy about the commotion

[RegulatorCountry]

They're using public school buses to transport protesters, a fair amount of whom are not even citizens, on a holiday?

[infool7]

Yeah but there wasn't much action at least not from the side I was on. I think MrSilverback and friends may have been on the other side but I didn't get over there.

[ChiMark]

How big was the crowd. Did'nt seem large.

[infool7]

This is the only news van I noticed.

My guess is that the buses are chartered from a privately-owned company that contracts with school districts to transport students.

If you look, there's no name on the front or back of the buses. Usually it says, Naperville, Wheaton, Aurora, etc. on buses owned by a school board.

[infool7]

I read on some thread that this was a Miller sponsored event

[RegulatorCountry]

Here, there would only be a number on the back, nothing on the front other than "school bus." The name of the school district would be on either side, and the number would be repeated. Does Illinois have permanent license tags on vehicles owned by government? I have to admit, I've never heard of school transportation being farmed out to a private contractor. Those are Thomas Built buses, built not ten miles from where I am sitting.

I was at the Sheehan event and this time they wern't going to let a few counter protesters shout over their PA. I am no expert but I have been in a few bands and this looks like between 10K - 15K Watts

here is the site that is leading the boycott of Miller brewing. I stopped drinking there beer.

Where are the pictures of the cops from ICE checking IDs and arresting the Criminal Aliens?

[infool7]

Here are some more pics of the Busses

[freekitty]

How appropriate. Red orange shirts. Designed just for felons.

[cmsgop]

Worst Beer EVER !!! Yukky Poo-Poo

[infool7]

I am a Guinness man myself. I can't bring myself to drink the Miller stuff cause it tastes bad.

[infool7]

I am not very good at estimating crowd size but in the area in front of Dennis’s office it looks crowded if there are fifty people. My uneducated guess is between 2K and 2.5K

[infool7]

I met the marchers while they were on Fabian parkway in front of the Kane County jail\hq

[infool7]

[infool7]

I didn't see any ICE but there were some SWAT type guys there.

[Elsiejay]

What is printed in red on that long, black banner?

[infool7]

I couldn’t remember exactly so I just checked it.

“IT IS BETTER TO DIE ON YOUR FEET THAN TO LIVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE ON YOUR KNEES". EMILIANO ZAPATA

[Cheapskate]

Don'tcha just love it?

Some school board using taxpayer money to plug Illegal Immagrant rights.

Just revolting!

[Cheapskate]

Looks like four rackmount amps in the bottom there

Even if they're only cCrown Powerbases, that's 5200 watts right there.,p>Soundguys don't pull that kinda gear out for nothin!!!

[BW2221]

The name on the side of the bus looks like "Laidlaw." Laidlaw is a corporation that provides public and private schools with buses on a regular or on an as needed basis. My son's school uses them when they have more teams playing away games than available buses.

Laidlaw also rents their buses for private use. My guess is that a school district is not involved.

[Cheapskate]

Right I didin't get a look at the writing on the side

I know how Laidlaw works. I used to run vending machines in a Laidlaw bus center.

I haven't stopped drinking Miller beer, for the simple reason that as far as I can tell the Miller Brewing Company doesn't make or market anything that qualifies as beer.

[SmoothTalker]

A pathetic show by our law enforcement. If you know that hundreds of criminals are going to be in a location picketing and you ignore that event you are complicit in their crimes. Immigration should have been there in force.

How-in-the-hell do the dimms keep getting school busses for their demonstrations??

We have been seeing these busses carrying old people, black people, hispic people, chinee people, and others.

We (in Florida) first saw the busses in 1998 at a dimmo event that we freeped, and continued to see them at most of their organized rallys.

They even had duct tape over the busses' school district lettering, at the Gandy Bridge 'Walk-for-NO-guns' gig.

How do they get them, and, I'll bet they're not rented!................FRegards

This is the flaw here. FReepers in the area need to make a BIG deal out of the school busses so some six figure hotshot in the local school district if forced to publicly admit to allowing that use of the busses. This will probably show a backdoor association with some anti-American pro-illegal alien group. Also, who drove the busses? Did they get paid and was it OT?
