Promoting an outcome


I am beginning to question what country the city of Waukegan truly exists in.
Over the Sept. 16-17 weekend, the roads were filled with vehicles flying Mexican flags for their Mexican Independence day celebrations. I am a Mexican American and I think some of this is absolutely ridiculous.

My brother has an American flag flying from his truck all year long. He was driving down by the lake to meet some friends on Sept. 17 and was attacked by mobs of people continuing to celebrate the Independence Day. An ice cream cone was thrown at his truck and landed on the interior leaving stains.

One person pulled a knife out and started to threaten him. Then, while trying to get away, he was chased all the way to the Beach Park border by carloads of people.

What country are we in? Why is Waukegan promoting these types of events if this is the outcome? Why aren't police patrolling these areas? What is going to happen when this continues?

If I don't get any answers I will have to take this issue farther. My opinion of the Mexican population in Waukegan is incredibly low now. And remember, that's coming from a Mexican American.
