the new sport: shooting illegal aliens


california

Two Border Patrol agents are under investigation for the shooting of an
unarmed illegal alien crossing the border near San Ysidro, California. The
shooting victim was said to have refused to drop a rock aimed at the
Border Patrol agent. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and San Diego
Police are looking into the matter while the two agents are on
administrative leave pending the conclusion of the inquiry.

Anti-Immigration Forum Protested Riot Police Add Tension

http://sandiego.indymedia.org/en/2005/08/110496.shtml


On Thursday, August 11, 2005 protesters and anti-immigrant activists
turned out to a forum. The big names (James Gilchrist and Rep. Tom
Tancredo) and potential conflict brought out media and the riot police.
Although the corporate media downplays events when no outright mayhem
ensues, there is a lot that can be learned from this event.

This summer has seen increasingly bold shows at anti-immigrant
demonstrations. The violence against immigrants has increased with gun
carrying minutemen patrolling the border. Now the leaders of this
anti-immigrant movement are bringing their message of hate into our
communities to breed fear and distrust among naive conservatives.

If you think that this is just your everyday "freedom of speech" issue
look at the police presence - 150 cops in riot gear!? When has anything in
Carlsbad ever had riot police?
