I posted a different version of this story yesterday. What the writeups don't tell is the story behind the story. It's been reported on all of the local news radio staions that there were six arrests at the Quicianera and of the six arrested, three are illegal aliens being held on ICE holds.

Illegal aliens looking to escape te economic downturn that hit California first have flocked to Oregon. Oregon is arguably as open to illegals as California. They've turned Gresham into a complete dump.

Two private security officers told police they could not control the crowd of around 100 people when they called in police. Gresham officers arrived and said the place smelled of alcohol and several people there were drunk.

One security guard told investigators he lost his partner during the riot. “It was like hell, I have never seen anything like that,â€
