This is what the wonderful immigration hath wrought. Liberals like Gene Green love it because these idiots keep voting him back in office. That punk acts like that because he has parents that are more than likely worthless to society, can't raise him to know any better and the stewards of our laws, the Gene Green and Bill White types keep letting them in. Why not? They don't have to live among bottom feeders like that.

I see no "attack". I do see a health-care town hall meeting co-opted inside and out by people low of facts and primarily upset with illegal immigration. The kid was upset and confrontation but I saw no attack or evidence he was part of La Raza. BTW - somebody should tell the kid that wrapping yourself in the flag is disrespectful and illegal in Mexico.

Wink Relax, your blood pressure's way too high

A small group of angry, hot-headed Latinos at a public rally no more represent all Hispanics than Nazi skinheads marching with swastikas represent all whites. Latinos are not the "enemy" of middle and working class Americans. Wall St bankers are the ones we should focus on. As long as we "little people" are distracted and squabbling among ourselves over nonissues, the more the fatcats can steal from us.

Perspective, man. Get some.

LOL...walking up to someone cursing with your chest puffed out like that is definitely cause to get your a** knocked down where I grew up. That little twit should have been given a new permanent part in his hairline.

Looks to me like a handful of redneck throw-backs provoked whatever sort of incident that actually amounts to. I think the one guy was handing out Bull Connor t-shirts...

How does the thread starter's title reflect the video?
The cops cuffed and took the kid away, so what exactly are we allowing ?

What does this specific incident have to do with " allowing " in this country?

Allowing elderly people who received erroneous information about the health care bill off the Internet and radio talk shows to get upset in a townhall?

Allowing some good ole boys to take advantage of publicity and start bleating about illegal immigration outside of the townhall?

Alowing a Latino teenager to take offense at this and counterprotest?

The kid got too excited and they cuffed him. meh

The kid was a punk. I was hoping the cops would at least draw blood

Do they always have Mariachi bands at town hall meetings? If so, I regret not attending one...I like Mariachi bands

Is the tape from two different events? How did they know they Hispanics were members of La Raza?
