First person account of Dallas illegal immigration march

This blogger says he was at the big Dallas protest for illegal immigration... on the American side:

I was part of a pro-USA rally in Dallas on Saturday. It was excellent and really uplifted my belief in this country.

I also went as part of a counter protest on Sunday in downtown Dallas. (Yes, that "big" rally). I am disappointed in how it was reported. Dallas Police and the media reported no violence. Untrue. We were attacked on a couple of occasions. We had things thrown at us. We were threatened by hispanic gangs. We had to be escorted around by police in riot gear...

What really pissed me off was that they glorified the amount of American flags and the lack of Mexican flags. First, the only reason they were had American flags was because they were handed out to them at the start of the rally. Also, there were plenty of Mexican flags in the crowd, and also many of the American flags were being desecrated and they were being worn and flown upside down.

There were plenty of gang colors and even the Black Panthers showed up to incite...

The media can try to hide the hostile nature of the Mexican demonstration, but it's a lot bigger than they're Winston Smith job can handle. Further the more of a free pass that the hostiles get from the media, the more emboldened they will become, to try more violent and bellicose approaches, and such as can't be hidden.
