LAPD Fires Rubber Bullets At (illegal) Immigration Protestors (that's gonna leave a mark)

CNN | 5/1/07

LAPD has bottles tossed at them and respond accordingly..........

[Hacksaw]

The irony is that CNN probably thinks the public is going to be upset about this. I think the police should have used water cannons.

[SaxxonWoods]

“Tossed” bottles? How...nonviolent sounding.

“Here, Mr. policeman, let me “toss” you a bottle.

In response the police "conveyed" rubber bullets to the protesters.

Most sensible posts I’ve seen on these threads all day.

[hole_n_one]

Go pick knit someplace else.

[OCCASparky]

I just love how CNN took the side of the “peaceful immigrants”.../sarc...(puke)

[Disambiguator]

What you said.

[Clemenza]

The sad thing is, CNN is still more polished than the tabloidy a-s clowns at the Murdoch network, the great Brit Hume being the exception.

The reporter talked to an illegal who was saying how he was just there to demand that they be given citizenship and their ‘rights’!!

What freakin 'rights' do they think they have if they are ILLEGAL?!

[kcvl]

I"m sick of this. You come to our country and DEMAND rights?

You aren't the only one! I'm passed sick of it!!!

[TheBattman]

Foam “rubber”....

But still, as someone else posted, Mexican police would not have used foam bullets...

[tsowellfan]

CNN calls it an “immigration rally”

What an insult to all legal immigrants from Central and South America, Asia and to our ancestors.

[TheBattman]

Why mince words or beat around the bush - just tell us how you REALLY feel!!!

[tsowellfan]

One of the channels reported a “lower turnout of anti-amnesty protestors” this year

[TheBattman]

That mark looks a lot like a jumbo paintball mark...

[BurbankKarl]

Coward Punk gets served....only criminals need masks...

I feel your outrage but these illegals have no understanding of first world concepts like rule of law, right or wrong, civic responsibility, or higher principle. Instead of attacking these poor, desperation-hardened victims of corrupt principalities, place blame where it belongs- with our own cynical politicians. Between the command economy left and the money above all else right, regular citizens have been eating dollar cheeseburgers laced with stupid sauce and thus dumbed out of the political process. With the Marxist Democrats pursuing their elitist, I know better than you plan, they want shove down our throats and the profits before national interests, public be damned right-wingers, rank and file Americans are at the mercy of these two political cannibals. I say fire the politicians and put some Americans in office.

They know enough to manipulate the media and use violence to achieve their ends.

So no, these criminal invaders don't get any slack.

They want to be treated with respect, let them start with respecting our borders and our laws. Then they will begin earning reciprocal treatment.

Eh, something I’m missing here? I read that as throwing the media’s parsing right back at ‘em.

I didn’t know those crowd dispersers were so large, m’self. Lovely marks left on the po’ widdle criminals’ skin; as an American, I’m proud.

Maybe the male with the scarf hiding his face marched in the L.A. anti-war protest sponsored by A.N.S.W.E.R.

Perhaps he carried the banner that supported Castro or Chavez.

L.A.: Sanctuary city

L.A. Mayor: Antonio Villaraigosa
