The violent left was at it again, doing what it does best…
Rioting, smashing windows, blocking firemen from a torched building after their immigration protest yesterday in Santa Cruz.
Many in the group were carrying makeshift torches as they marched. 15 businesses were victimized by this group.
What started out as a dance rave ended with smashed windows and a burning coffee house:

Of course, the state-run media has been hush-hush about this violent attack.
The Mercury News reported:

A group of protesters demonstrating at a May Day rally for worker’s and immigrant rights downtown broke off into a riot vandalizing about a dozen businesses around 10:30 p.m. Saturday, police said.
Windows were left shattered and graffiti including anarchy signs were tagged onto buildings. The Rittenhouse Building, Urban Outfitters, Jamba Juice and Velvet Underground all had windows broken, according to Capt. Steve Clark.

Santa Cruz police asked for help from all agencies in the county to break up the riot of about 200 people. At one point, protesters lit a fire on the porch of Caffe Pergolesi and blocked access to firefighters, officers said. Police were able to clear out the demonstrators before more damage was caused.

A large rock sat outside Verizon Wireless on the 100 block of Cooper Street, where vandals tried to break the window twice, according to Clark.

“The damage that was caused was without purpose,” Clark said. “It was senseless violence that victimized a community who cannot afford to be victimized in this manner. This did nothing to add credit to whatever they believed their cause was.”

One person was arrested for damaging a window. Police are searching for others responsible for the damage. Protesters cleared the downtown area around midnight.

    i’ve a feeling all will fold (or whatever), be sold off to foreign investors,
    if not fall into government Obamaship so to speak.. then the net will
    be clobbered aka: censored (not that they haven’t been censoring it for
    a few years as it is now)..

    unless of course they start printing the TRUTH which give themselves
    a lifesaving booster shot like none other they’ve ever had before.. nah, they’re LIBERAL..

    “one can lead a liberal to knowledge;
    but one cannot make a liberal think”

    btw: Al Gore buys 9 million dollar California ocean view mansion.

    ps: Amadjerkoff’s in town..

  5. That’s the kind of protests that Nancy Piglosi and Hitlery Clinton and Barry the illegal alien truly appreciate and condone.

  6. The hypocrisy is monumental. SWAT teams dispatched by order of the Secret Service in broad daylight to intimidate little old ladies in Middle America Illinois who pose absolutely no threat, but no anticipation or preparation by law enforcement that, after threatening violence all week long, radical, criminal, young, illegal alien violent protestors late at night in an illegal alien stronghold after drinking and whipping themselves into a frenzy just MIGHT cause some mischief and vandalize AMERICAN businesses. Disgusting. Hey, Al, are these some of your Freedom Marchers“?

  7. Is’nt LA RAZA spanish for welfare sucking slugs??

  8. I have some great photos from the rally in New York City yesterday. They are pretty funny.

  9. What would the media be reporting if some of those shop owners had been protecting their property with firearms and had plugged a few of the “vandals” while they were trying to torch their stores?…like the Korean shop owners did during the Watts riots?

  11. Shoot rioters on sight, that’s what they do in Mexico. It will give the illegals a sense of being back in Mexico.

    The police for the most part prefer to confront and harass non-violent people. Too much paperwork when confronting the illegals (race card, civil rights, al sharpton etc).

  12. jonyjoe101, if you shoot ‘em, you’d better clean ‘em and eat ‘em or YOU will be filling out all the paperwork along with the police and your lawyer while they take your mugshot and give you a “numbered” jersey……

  13. bg, great find, I had forgotten about that. And wasn’t Muhhammed” Lafitte a pirate and privateer in the Gulf of Mexico in the early 19th century?

  14. This double standard makes me think of adult children who are all in favor of sexual liberation but gasp and cringe at the thought of their own parents having sex. Almost like they are saying, “Yeah we can torch buildings and vandalize and wreak all kinds of havoc, but, heaven forbid, that normal grownups do that!!”

  15. …which makes one wonder whether one of “Muhhammed” Lafitte’s descendants is still pirating along the Gulf coast and may even be responsible for the “suspicious” explosion on that oil rig.

  16. The lady said “What can you do?”

    Defend your property. That’s it. These kind of idiots should be tear gassed and maybe even shot for their actions.

  17. It’s amazing they seem to go out of their way to create fear and distrust of their intentions for the United States. Yet the left keeps on welcoming them with open arms. Pretty well confirms the Lefts true core believe system of violence.

  18. Where is Senator Sheldon Whitehouse to condemn this genuine Kristallnacht !

    We are taking OUR LAND BACK

    This asshat will end in prison as the “wife” of a gang banger nicknamed “king snake.”

  20. Maybe it’s time to bring back the “WANTED, DEAD OR ALIVE” posters. They could put them on milk cartons like they do missing people. Redeem them at your local ICE office. They may have to issue tags or stamps so nobody “bags” more than their limit…whatever the limit is. They could even use some of the “TARP” slush fund to cover the reward money. With all the cellphone cameras and digital cameras providing not only good images of the perps but evidence for a trial or a coroner’s inquest, a booming cottage industry is waiting to be tapped. Time to fight fire with fire.

  21. …and don’t forget, while the Illegals were “wilding” all over the country unobstructed,

    Times Square Bomb: A Vietnam veteran saw smoke billowing from a Nissan Pathfinder and alerted Police.

  22. La Raza scum!!!!!!. These scum call ME racist when the name of their subversive organization is called “The Race”. F*** them and the burro they rode across the Rio Grande on.

  23. I couldn’t help but notice that an overwhelming majority of those protesters was white.

    Why do they have such a problem with a black man being president?

    [/garofalo]

  24. Some dummy at DU posted this video trying to prove there was no “riot”. This dummy was right in the middle of it all.

  26. IF you see someone with a torch throw a bucket of gasoline on them.

  27. I know this sounds juvenile, but wouldn’t it have made an interesting situation if several store owners had been in position on top of their stores with a few wheelbarrows full of condoms filled with gasoline to toss down on the torchlight parade?…sorta “add to the ambience”…

  28. Oh. So this is what they mean when they say our rhetoric will cause violence. I get it. We speak out and defend ourselves peacefully and they demonize us giving their minions the will to lash out with violence. All while the media abets. Obviously, when they tell you to shut up and call you racist, it is a threat. Remember that.

    re: The Muslims who discovered America

    [This terror war we find ourselves fighting is not a relatively fleeting conflict. It's not one that will be over when Osama bin Laden is dead. It's not one that will be over after the U.S. invades Iraq. It's not one that will be over if and when a Palestinian state is created. This is a long-term struggle. It's a conflict that has raged for more than 1,200 years. America is just getting a taste of what the rest of the world has been experiencing since the time of Muhammad.

    Little did Columbus know when he set sail in 1492 to find a sea route to the East, that he would discover a New World – one free of the conflicts
    of the old world, one free of the entanglements, one that would be the destination of freedom-seeking people for the next 500 years. He also could not have foreseen how the same conflict he was attempting to escape would come home to this New World 509 years later in a most dramatic and tragic way – on Sept. 11, 2001.

    We can't escape history. We can't
    rewrite it. We can only learn from it.]

    we haven’t learned a thing.. as a matter of fact,
    they grew smarter, look who’s in charge of US..

  30. Some of the youtube videos begin with disclaimer not to pass judgement…. that this was just a random act of drunk block partiers. No ! This is community organized krystalnach fascism. The people were moving down the street in parade formation. Would not be surprised if this was put together by Americorp or one of Obama’s other secret SS force. The vandals were wearing masks and scarves over their faces like palestinians. They for the most part looked white. Did not not hear any spanish in the audio.

  31. Never saw one flaming torch at a Tea Party.

  32. “Windows were left shattered and graffiti including anarchy signs were tagged onto buildings. The Rittenhouse Building, Urban Outfitters, Jamba Juice and Velvet Underground all had windows broken, according to Capt. Steve Clark.
    At one point, protesters lit a fire on the porch of Caffe Pergolesi and blocked access to firefighters, officers said. Police were able to clear out the demonstrators before more damage was caused.”
    …………….

    Gee, being edgy urban didn’t carry any protective cachet. Done in by the very client they advertize to.
    ……………..

    “A large rock sat outside Verizon Wireless on the 100 block of Cooper Street, where vandals tried to break the window twice…”
    ………..

    I don’t care what anyone says, that there is funny.

  33. Like Oh My Gosh. Why are you conservates all up in our grills for marching around with torches and junkz? We got the latest remix from DJ Stizzle blaring in the background so it’s all good you haters! And those stores totally deserved to get smashT. They’re like evil capitalists and stuff.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOpZID0ySkM <- our next riot song

    PS. OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA YES WE CAN LOLZ

  34. Do keep in mind that the 200 who went on a riot have a lot in common with the thugs who broke the leg of that young girl and broke the nose of her boyfriend….. THEY ARE ANARCHISTS!!!

  35. its not an immigrant rally, its a pro-colonization rally. gonna grow the democratic party

  36. youtube silent video set parallell to neo nazi film trailer Romper Stomper…..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dL68DDuCtw

  37. How do you conclude that these people were “violent leftists”?

    They’re self-proclaimed anarchists. You know, they hate all government?

    Kinda like you guys.

  38. good grief, they consistently show the world they have no credibility, logic, common sense, worthwhile argument. Then they go and torch businesses in their own city that has nothing to do with Arizona. Guess SWAT couldn’t be there since they were too busy chasing after conservative grammas.

  39. These anti-white hate groups receive free drugs as payment to do this. Look into it …

  40. @joeyess

    How do you conclude that these people were “violent leftists”?

    They’re self-proclaimed anarchists. You know, they hate all government?

    Kinda like you guys.

    Nobody here hates government. Nobody here promotes violence.

    The difference between us and them is that we understand that We The People are the government, and we work to enact change through the system.

    Our weapons of change are the ballot box and the Constitution, not torches and vandalism.

    Anarchists exist on the left and the right, to be sure. However, right-wing anarchists generally keep to themselves and want to be left alone. Left-wing anarchists openly cause trouble, commit acts of violence, and work to overthrow governmental institutions – if not the government itself.

    Now, do you have anything intelligent to add to the conversation, or are you just another drive-by Obamabot?

  41. This was not an illegal immigrant rally. What this was, apparently, was a small group of anarchists who organized a May Day Dance Party, in hopes of getting a crowd.

    The crowd – which was mostly community residents and college students – unknowingly provided cover for the anarchists who came, armed with paint and rocks, and attempted to start a riot.

    This had nothing to do with illegal immigration or workers rights. This had everything to do with creating mayhem and rioting.

    There were perhaps 200 people there, and between 5 and 10 rioters, apparently. The rioters were masked and dressed in black, carrying backpacks with rocks and paint.

    The one guy arrested was some loser from out of the area, already on parole for burglary.
