Thread: Anti-immigration group hit with bottles, balloons

SEATTLE -- What were supposed to be two separate protests by two opposing groups turned violent when the one group grew confrontational and threw balloons and beer bottles at its opposition on Saturday.

Some 200 people gathered to protest against what they claim is President Bush's support of a North American union which, the protesters claim, would eliminate U.S. sovereignty.

"Not every illegal immigrant is a criminal - we understand that, but we are allowing people into this nation who are doing us harm," said Jonnie Crivello, a protester.

The protesters gathered at the Seattle Center and marched down Third Avenue to the Federal Building. While rallied there, they were bombed with beer cans and balloons by counter-protesters who were holding their own rally, prompting police to intervene.

About 50 counter-protesters were present, claiming shutting down the border is a racist act.

"We say no human being is illegal and everybody - just by working here - automatically has the right to live here," said Jorge Torres, a counter-protester.

Police said many of their officers were hurt during the protests. No arrests were made.

Ship out the non-workers then.

Why oh why was nobody arrested "officers were hurt during the protests"

Sounds like the Chief of Police needs to be pulled onto the carpet and demoted to street patrol

As more protesters turn violent against Americans, more Americans will detest them. They are constructing their own downfall.

Newt is right when he said; "We are under attack, and at war here in the homeland, just as much as anywhere else in the world."

I know they laid a big egg when they were protesting with Mexican flags and all that hostile takeover talk. ("This is our country")
