L.A. Mayor Condemns Immigration Rally Violence (PUKE ALERT)
AP / Fox News ^ | 06/15/2007 | EagleUSA

LOS ANGELES — Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa condemned the Police Department's use of force against demonstrators and reporters at an immigration rally, saying he was "deeply, personally troubled" by the clash.

The mayor returned home Friday after cutting short a trade mission to El Salvador and Mexico amid criticism for being out of town since Tuesday's melee at MacArthur Park.

"Like every Angeleno I was deeply, personally troubled by the events of May 1st," the mayor said at City Hall. "Those images hit me in the gut.

"... We don't need a long and lengthy investigation to stand up and speak to the truth. What happened on May 1st was wrong, was wrong," he said.

Police struck reporters and demonstrators with batons and fired more than 240 rubber bullets into a crowd that included children at the end of an immigration rights rally. Officers say they responded after being pelted by rocks and bottles.

Though no one was seriously hurt, images of baton-wielding officers knocking people to the ground have played repeatedly on cable TV newscasts, ramping up the pressure on Villaraigosa to return from the trade mission.

Good grief. It looked like a scuffle, and everyone is making a huge deal out of it.

"Palestinians" and alien Hispanics appear to have quite a bit in common. Both believe they've had land "stolen" from them; both breed like rabbits and hope to demographically overwhelm the host country; both are insanely envious of their host country's accomplishments; both appear to be fans of Osama bin Laden .....the list is long.

Yes, and when you have a federal government supporting your efforts to do this every step of the way, it makes taking that country over real easy.....it is time for a change.

There was a time when I, a resident of L.A. (county) for 40 years, might have taken offense to your comment.

Today, all I can say is BTTT!

"Mayor MEChA:"

Read about how a pro-communist, ultra radical "MEChista" named Tony Villar cut his hair, changed his name, put on a tie, and became the mayor of America's second largest city.

Senator McClintock. Everyone else is a RINO. And the day he gets into office will be the day the "big one" knocks San Fran and LA into the Pacific.

Is there ANY Euro-American left who can argue that California is not visibily "slipping back" towards Mexico?

Is there anyone left who can persuasively argue that the Mexifornication of California could ever be reversed?

How long before the transformation be complete?

And finally, the unspeakable question is: once Atzlan exists, do we really want it to _remain_ a part of the United States of America?

How about Congressman Kevin McCarthy? I saw him on C-Span once. Seems like a comer.
