Wow! A typical liberal response from a typical liberal writer who probably wasn’t there. I’m guessing that this writer received a phone call from her amigos at La Raza or some other reqonquista neo fascist organization. Listen, it must feel great to graduate from a prestigious school that your parents probably paid for and to take a cushy job as a liberal writer to stick it to the “MAN”. The man being the police of course.

But let’s get off the writer for now and analyze what happened yesterday. What other country in the world allows people who break the law (illegal aliens) to protest and demand amnesty? Huh? Where on god’s green earth can a faction of law breakers use tax payer money to protest “unfairness” and “demand equality” while their children are getting free education and health coverage our tax payer expense? Yes they are part of the working force, but I’ve never heard of harsh labor camps or cruelty in the work place. If that happens they should complain or just go home.

The police stepped in when the violators left MacArthur Park and violated the free speech zone. The police stepped in and quelled the situation, which could have gotten worce, with rubber bullets. Hey liberal! Try that in Venezuela with (again, I’m guessing) your hero Hugo Chavez. Those bullets wouldn’t be rubber.

To wrap this up, and again, where in the world can we allow lawbreakers to protest, police hating liberals to write and common thinking guys like me to stand up and support the cops who protect the common citizen. HUH!?!?!? God bless the USA!!!!

cushy job as a liberal writer

I'm sure someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the writers of laist didn't get paid. Go fig.

What the heck is a nativist? I was born in the USA, so does that make me a typical dumb nativist?

This story was written pretty objectively, and I appreciate the writer not turning this into a soapbox to speak about further discrimination against immigrants because of this incident. Folks were throwing bottles at the officers, and the police just went overboard with their use of force. Seems like it could happen at any mass protest. I heard a KPCC reporter saying she could not see any badges on the officers wearing riot gear. That's going to have to change after today.

Navivist? Nativist?? Well do I get a fig leaf with that comment? Ooops, I thought you were referring to a naturalist. So I digress. But let’s go to you Roger. When you use the word nativist, I’m guessing you are one of two people: #1. The touchy feely type guy who learned this word at the college quad by members of any far left (fill in the blank) organization or from NPR. You know the guy that was never good in sports and was awkward around girls so he went introverted only to manifest his hate amongst all people. Or #2; you are that college guy that hits da chornic way too much. That guy lives in the basement of his parents home, walks around in your robe all day, despises everyone who is successful (see #1) and has little or no friends. I’ll take a guess and say you are the later.

SO that being said, you probably have a rasta hat covering you nappy hair (note the relevant words to today current issues). After you signed off of moveon.org, I love George Soros.com and We love flagburning.net, you hit this site and read my comments. All this while you smoked your daily spleef by 9am. My comments frosted your hide and your put your shout out. Now let’s discuss the issue at hand.

When the police say something to a crowd it’s generally a good idea to do what they say. I saw the video and saw many of your type were throwing bottles, taunting the cops and being verbally abusive. You know what rasta boy, police are as human as me and y… well, they get upset when a crowd get’s unruly. What were they supposed to do, wait around until one of your people hurt another protester? I bet you were bitching about the shooting at Virginia Tech saying: “Where were the police?” “Why didn’t they do more?”

See, nothing is ever good enough for you. A typical liberal, like you, will always complain but never offer any solutions. Protest! Protest! But when the camera asks you what to do you have nothing to add. Maybe it’s time to stop drinking the bong water and get a real job that pays money so you can look at your pay stub and marvel: “Gee where’s all my tax dollars going”, then and only then can you be a true nativist.

Yes, nativist. I don’t care what your definition of nativist is, but mine is a native of this great country that allows even jerks like you to be someone, anyone. If you go to school, work hard and follow the rules you’d be surprised what you can accomplish. Heck, even if you don’t, you may still be in luck and turn into Jessie Jackson (the true American Terrorist).

It’s people like you that truly give this great land a bad name. You are probably pull for the US to fail in Iraq, praying for more terrorist hits in America, cheering when the ACLU urinates on the common man; all the while you hang your Obama posters in your basement. Don’t you ever judge me until you sober up, kick the chronic and make your parents proud.

Who says I'm a Republican?

whenever anarchists are caught on video doing what they vow to do preceding and during every protest action, the "predominantly passive" majority all exclaim, "you mustn't conflate us with them!" and proceed to explain how one can't account for all elements within their "broad coalition".

but whenever the image and portrayal of a confrontation can be controlled, the "predominantly passive" participate in the frameing of the confrontation as another kent state. even though the confrontation is a very specialized thing consistently occurring between masked anarchists equipped to provoke confrontation and armored cops equipped to anticipate their antics.

please cut the horseshit charade.

To Wake Up,
Yep, you are probably right, we can't find reason amongst liberals.
