Wednesday, May 26. Yesterday the man who hit four pro-immigrant protesters with his van was released by the police while four other protesters who were peacefully demonstrating their anger toward the anti-immigrant group, the minutmen, are still in jail. Some are detained on bail as high as $50,000 for allegedly throwing bottles of water at the police. Police officers also felt threatened by a person in a wheel chair (I kid you not), and they arrested him without any apparent reason other than being an easy target for arrest.
On television Jim Gilchrist denied the protesters allegations of him being a racist although, on the same day, his friends and allies displayed signs targeting only undocumented immigrants from Mexico—not undocumented immigrants from Canada or Europe.
