Here is a great post from Michelle Malkin: Starting with this video.
The May Day angry mob you won’t see
By Michelle Malkin
They came, they saw, they threatened or committed violence in the name of open borders and workers’ rights. But alas, Frank Rich and Paul Krugman’s columns decrying the insane rage and hate of the May Day angry mob got lost in the mail.
In Santa Cruz, they carried torches and vandalized at least 18 businesses:
Downtown business owners spent Sunday repairing shattered windows and doors after a May Day rally Saturday night turned into a riot with approximately 250 people marching along Pacific Avenue, some carrying makeshift torches, throwing large rocks and paint bombs, and spray-painting walls with graffiti.
At least 18 businesses suffered damage during the rally in honor of international workers that began at 9 p.m. and escalated into mayhem around 10:30 p.m., police said. Investigators estimated damage at $100,000, though some business owners said it could be more. No injuries were reported.
On Sunday, sea green-colored glass littered sidewalks where windows and glass doors had been smashed. Maintenance workers, many getting called in the middle of the night, boarded up windows with plywood until new sheets of glass could be installed.
The vandalized businesses included Urban Outfitters, Peet’s Coffee, Noah’s Bagels, Jamba Juice, Velvet Underground and Dell Williams Jewelers. The unoccupied Rittenhouse building also was damaged. A police car was vandalized with rocks and paint, department spokesman Zach Friend said.
In San Francisco, anti-illegal immigration activists were attacked by the May Day marchers:
LISA AMIN GULEZIAN, REPORTER: Allan, for the most part the event was peaceful, but just about an hour ago, three people were attacked and two others were arrested. The people who were assaulted were part of the Minutemen demonstration in favor of Arizona’s new immigration law.
They said a large group of immigrants’ rights supporters followed them to the BART station on Market Street and started punching and kicking them, and calling them names.
PARKER WILSON, BAY AREA ANARCHIST: They said we were racists, and that we were against them, and against their town, and against San Francisco, and what they were saying. They said we needed to get out and they called us racists, and that we need to go home. And then they just attacked my friends and me.
The City Square was at the SF protest and captured the border-sabotaging Che lovers:
Spotted in the window of a San Francisco shop. Didn’t get vandalized, naturally:
An account from the NYC protest:
About an hour later we were heading to a concert on the NYU campus, and started walking down Broadway toward Astor Place. We started hearing lots of police sirens all at once, and then looked straight ahead. There were young guys with baseball bats and Che signs pinned to their backpacks running down the street smashing store windows, all on the west side of Broadway. We stopped dead on a corner, because there were police cars coming from so many different directions the street lights were rendered meaningless. As soon as we stopped, about 6 NYPD units pulled up to our exact corner and the cops jumped out and tackled two of the vandals literally TWO FEET in front of me. Some other officers arrived, jumped out of their cars, and started a crazy foot pursuit of another guy who started running in zig-zags down the middle of Broadway. They tackled him as well, in the middle of the freakin’ street, as cars kept almost hitting everyone involved. It happened incredibly quickly. There were tons of eyewitnesses, and I even saw a few people videotaping, but of course I can’t find mention of this incident anywhere online or in the media. We had about five minutes to get to the concert, so stopping and gawking wasn’t an option. We just kept walking, tried to get away from the whole mess. But we could see and hear police interviewing plenty of witnesses, and heard people say “they just kept breaking windows”, and saw the perps with their faces in the pavement for ourselves.
Seen enough? I have.

Patriot . . Good blog. Michelle Malkin's too. I've a question for you both. The Obama led radical left has brought out the Conservative Right like never before. Great. The TEA parties are a terrific clue to the wishes of most American. Problem? TEA folks and other conservative leaning people tend to attach to the Republican Party.
Switch gears. Arizona has done the right thing. The problem is that the hispanic community doesn't agree. Republicans of any stripe will have a rough time winning any elections without a goodly portion of the hispanic vote.
Arizona is right . . but is it going to cost us (Conservative leaning Republicans) the next elections?
Bump
Expect more and more violent protests. As long as the left sees no consequences for their actions, violence will be the rule of law.
These people don't want just citizenship they want power and control and the return of the American southwest to Mexico---little doubt about it.
Bumps, Not all hispanics are for amnesty and letting all these illegals stay and continue to
flood our country. Granted, many
are for what the libtards want to
push through with amnesty. Most
Tea party folks I know refuse to
claim the republican party.
They are conservatives fighting
for
their country and freedom. I am
a registered Republican ONLY
because here in my state, you MUST
be registered as Republican or
democrat to be able to vote in the
primary elections. I claim myself
as a conservative Constitutionalist
and very far to the right. I am not
sure if all this helps or not.
Sure, this will cost some votes
in Az. BUT I think it will also
bring many more into
the conservative ranks.
Several states are already drafting and proposing
similar bills. It is up to
us to make sure nothing the
mullah obamaham has done to
us and the contry is forgotten between now and the November elections.
