Illegal Protest

Panorama of rally

Dan worked all day on processing the photos and video from the rally yesterday. You can find many of them here at his post on Digger’s Realm on the rally. You can also read Wendy Medishefshki’s coverage of the rally here at Pa Pundit site. The videos from the rally with the speakers and other happenings at the rally are here on YouTube.

The rally was relatively short by normal Voice of the People USA standards and all the speakers held the attention of the rally goers for the most part UNTIL Crystal Dillman, the fiancee of Luis Ramirez, showed up with some other girls and with a Mexican flag and began shouting “racists” at the crowd.

Gee I thought Crystal and her crowd were pushing for “unity” - then why was Crystal at OUR rally trying to incite an attack? Could it have been a cheap ploy for attention because for once the patriotic citizens of Shenandoah were getting all the media attention? You will notice that NONE of the people from the Voice of the People USA rally went over to the Unity gathering to try to disrupt their little “unity” charade. So.. I ask you .. who are the instigators and who are acting like mature adults? For the most part, after the initial reaction, the crowd gathered at Babe Ruth Memorial Park in a show of unity for enforcing the laws, ignored the attempts by Crystal Dillman and company to disrupt the rally and cause a disturbance that would have over-shadowed the peaceful rally. Nice try Crystal. Your lack of class shows very clearly in acts like these. I was proud of the group for resisting the attempts by Crystal and her friends to goad them into reacting.

All the speakers at the rally were well-received by the crowd and after the rally ended, it seemed there was not enough time to talk to everyone who wanted to know more. Digger printed up only 30 flyers with some links and info and those were gone in the first 10 minutes! It’s expensive to print up a lot of flyers and we aren’t paid by anyone to do what we do but at the next rally I think we’ll spring to have copies done at a copy center before the rally.

One thing I noticed at this rally is - here are a group of people thrust into the immigration debate spotlight. They haven’t all been watching Lou Dobbs and all of this is quite new to them. They have a lot of catching up to do to combat the rhetoric flying around and the more educated they become about the illegal immigration situation and what they can do about it, the more positive outcomes will result from this tragedy. This incident that has thrust them into the spotlight is a real wake-up call for their small community and I really wish it didn’t take something like this to galvanize people to band together and fight the scourge of illegal immigration. How many more communities will have this kind of culture clash result in a death - whether it be an American or another illegal alien - before that community wakes up and begins participating in being part of the solution?

Here’s a photo Dan captured of Crystal and her buddies holding the Mexican flag while shouting “racists” at our group.

Yeah that’s a real “unifying” thing to do Crystal at a Pro-American rally now isn’t it?

Dan and I drove 2 hours to Shenandoah, PA to speak at a Voice of the People USA Rally being held there to counter the hate speech which has descended upon the town ever since the July 12th incident where several teens have been accused of attacking a 25 year old illegal alien Mexican, Luis Ramirez, which then resulted in his death days later in the hospital.

The accused teens are out on bail and there has been a preliminary hearing so far. The trial date and venue have not been set. Some of the relatives of the accused teens were at the rally and we spoke with them. We hope to share some additional information that has not come out in the media, that we learned from them as well.

The turnout from this small town of 5600 people was phenomenal! The police presence was also incredible and the weather held out perfectly even though thunderstorms had been predicted. The police estimated around 600 people attending and the crowd was quite enthusiastic and vocal in their reception of the speakers. There were some skinhead types among the crowd but it’s a free country and Voice of the People USA were not excluding anyone, even the opposition, who made a brief appearance while displaying a Mexican flag. The crowd reacted but then resisted the attempts by the girls to get a reaction and there were no incidents.

We have lots of photos and video to process from the 8 hour day today which we hope to have up by the end of the weekend. There were many reporters and camera people there so it should be interesting to see how the event is portrayed in the various media.

The atmosphere at this rally was quite energizing and the entire time a helicopter hovered around overhead - we aren’t sure if it was a news helicopter or a police helicopter. I would have to say there were about 20 police there - it seemed from two different departments - perhaps some State troopers and some local police. It was comforting having all the police there since this incident has divided this town and created a great amount of hostility between many of the residents.

The Illinois Citizens for Immigration Enforcement are welcoming the Toughest Sheriff in America - Sheriff Joe Arpaio - to the Park Ridge VFW on Friday August 15th. Tickets are $10 for your chance to see him and hear him speak. Every Sheriff in America should model themselves after this great man. He’s got a backbone and he’s not afraid of the sold-out politicians in our local, state and federal government.

Directions to the Park Ridge VFW can be found here. Phone number for the VFW is 847-825-4588

More info about Sheriff Joe here on Wikipedia. He’s my hero.

Tuesday, August 5th will be a day to celebrate - it’s the day Jose Medellin will meet his much deserved end in Texas.

The Associated Press describes Mr Medellin in this way:

“Medellin was convicted in the June 1993 torture, rape and strangling of Elizabeth Pena, 16, and Jennifer Ertman, 14. The Houston girls, whose bodies were found four days after they failed to return from a friend’s house, had been attacked as they took a shortcut along some railroad tracks and stumbled on a group drinking beer after initiating a new gang member. Evidence showed the girls were gang raped for more than an hour, then were kicked and beaten before being strangled by a belt or shoelaces.”

If you aren’t familiar with the case, our illustrious pro-Mexico Presidente GW Bush tried to get the World Court to intervene and spare the life of this hard working immigrant. But thank goodness Texas said kiss my ass and Medellin is going right to where he belongs this Tuesday. I think I’ll have to buy some champagne!

Amazingly, Mexico is THREATENING us with “anti-US” sentiment warnings regarding this execution? Really? Mexicans might actually trash the US? You mean more than they already are? You mean they might actually be disrespectful of Miss USA or something? Or.. they might burn the American flag?

Here’s the article with the “THREAT” from Mexico:

MEXICO CITY — The U.S. embassy in Mexico is warning Americans of possible protests next week when a Mexican man is scheduled to be executed in Texas.

In a public statement the embassy says it has received information that protests may occur next Tuesday, when Jose Medellin is scheduled to die. It urged Americans to avoid the protests.

The embassy says activists in Mexico could use the demonstrations “to incite anti-U.S. sentiment in general.”

The Friday statement noted that even peaceful demonstrations “can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence.”

Medellin has been sentenced to die for his participation in the 1993 gang rape and beating deaths of two Houston girls aged 14 and 16.

I say to Mexico BRING IT ON.

Oh my God… an image search for Jose Medellin actually found a web site where apparently Jose Medellin is SEARCHING FOR ROMANCE. It was found in German and translated with the help of Google. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. He forgot to list among his interests - rape, sodomy and murder.. gee he somehow left those out! Go figure!

Here’s his LAME PICTURE on the German dating site:

Hi - I like to rape, sodomize and murder teenagers.. please date me!

Oh and here’s ANOTHER cute little letter from murderer Jose Medellin whilst looking for love.. how sweet. Better hurry up cuz he’s about to be very hard to reach!

*************

Update!

Apparently there is new legislation just introduced on July 15th that would have prevented the much-deserved execution of Jose Medellin. It is sponsored by these two dirtbags - Zoe Lofgren and Howard Berman - both California Democrats who fully support the illegal alien invasion. Here is a link to the legislation dubbed H.R. 6481

In a nutshell, this legislation is saying that these illegal alien murderers can be protected by their country’s consulate from being executed for crimes for which they are convicted. This is an onerous and obnoxious interference in sovereign government by the Vienna Convention. Call your representative this week and object to this legislation!!!!! It has currently been referred to the House Judiciary Committee.. stop it now before it gets any farther!
