Thread: Hundreds Riot in Vista, CA tonight--May 1st

More info to follow...

Just saw story on 11pm news tonight regarding a riot which occurred following the demonstration in Vista, CA tonight. According to the reporter on the scene (who was blocks away from the scene for security purposes) chaos broke out around 8pm when a group of dozens of protestors began to throw rocks and water bottles at police nearby in Vista, CA. The police withdrew and called for backup. The news reports were not clear but indicated that as many as 600 people may have been involved in these riots--not sure the extent of damage done to businesses and such either as the media couldn't get crews on scene--earlier crews nearly had their news vans toppled by the mob. Will post on news section when I have more info. In the meantime, feel free to check out

The article also stated: "One protester said many illegal aliens stayed away from the public demonstrations in fear of arrest by immigration agents. But no such actions took place and Lauren Mack of the U.S. Immigration and Customs enforcement office in San Diego said the agency no longer conducts random sweeps. Those operations only occur "where there is targeted criminal activity," she said."

Isn't anarchy "criminal activity"? I bet if 600 Americans rioted after a march in Mexico City that could be classified "criminal activity".
