Witnesses say a group protesting against SB1070 began to fight with a man who was for the controversial immigration bill.

Police tried escorting that man away from the scene, fearing for his safety, when they too came under attack by people throwing items, including water bottles.

A young man was arrested during that melee.

Things calmed down moments later, but riot Police remained at the capital to maintain some sort of order.

Earlier in the day, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed SB1070 into law,.

The illegals are rioting. Good time to arrest them all, and “check their immigration status”.

Those Tea Party people, I tell ya! They are so violent... oh wait!

Violence from the left? That’s just First Amendment free speech!! Democracy at work. MSM doesn’t need to report that.

This protest sure seemed racist to me. I saw no diversity.

Notice all the cameras are focused on the lone supporter of the bill being whisked to safety and ignoring the actual news story of the “protesters” acting like Nazis following a Jew in 1938.

I KNOW..seriously, when I saw the protesters on Fox News I thought to myself “Perfect timing, the illegals are out, now arrest them and throw their asses back in Mexico”

I wonder what the Mexican police would do to a bunch of Americans if they went down there and hurled a barrage of water bottles at them.

Methinks it would be a long sentence in a stanky prison, if they survived the beatdown.

I am sure Geraldo will condemn this violence and paint illegal immigrant protesters as old angry brown men.

Will you never tire of using that gay "box around your comment" thingy? It's just so gay and self-promotional. You, my hand-gazer, are not the exception.

Watching the news report at the link talking about how "their kids" and the "students" walked out of class to protest the bill...blah blah...reminded me of this:

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.

I can guarandamntee you they would not be aiming pepper spray at you and hauling off the Mexican citizens.
