They Shoot Protestors, Don't They?

Our friends at Pedestrian Infidel are following the story of the African migrants who swarmed over the border fence in Spanish Morocco trying desperately to get themselves into Europe by any means available. Te post below comes with insightful editorial and some very fine grapics.

The story is catchy, and we're following it as well. It's a snapshot of the future --for those who care for these things.

We have below the pot smoking hippie kids' version of reality and the evil that Americans do. Blame their parents? No, too late. Their parents are likely pot-smoking hippies too. The first narrative is from an African migrant's point of view, and the last piece is on Minutemen confronting other Americans opposed to them and who knows what else. We find it interesting to see the difference between the two realities in America, and we think it shows clearly the nature of a divided future with migrants overrunning the lot of us, walls or no, unless something is done quickly not only to prevent the hordes from overwhelming the Modern world but to distance the fascist Left dhimmis from the clouded view of reality they so much seem attached to.

Meanwile outside of Menilla... Spanish border breached en masse

Wednesday, September 28 2005 @ 02:55 AM PDT Contributed by: Anonymous Views: 53 In the night of sunday 28, almost 300 subsaharian migrants tried to cross the border between Morocco and Melilla (Spain). The plan was organized in the (self- organized) camp "Gurugú" that is in the forest near the border. With more than 50 handmade stairs and connected by mobile phones started the "assault" to the border. from noborder.org 02.Sep.05 - In the night of sunday 28, almost 300 subsaharian migrants tried to cross the border between Morocco and Melilla (Spain). The plan was organized in the (self- organized) camp "Gurugú" that is in the forest near the border. With more than 50 handmade stairs and connected by mobile phones started the "assault" to the border. In the beginning more than 70 could cross when lots of spanish militar police (Guardia Civil)arrived and started a brutal repression. After 45 minutes of confrontation (and with the presence already of the Moroccan police) 2 migrants from Cameroon died and there are lots of injured people. The situation is now in the first page of all spanish newspapers and the minister of interior probably will have to explain in the parlament. Yesterday took place (as we all expected) a brutal intervention in the camp again with lots of injured people and detentions. Here is a very rough translation of the communiqué posted on estrecho.indymedia.org The morning of monday, 08.29 has been tragic. Two comrades from Camerun left with us towards the gate that separates the Mariguari Mountain, in Morocco, from the city of Melilla. We were a number, the cops were looking for us: it's a fight, a struggle, as it uses to be. But the struggle is unfair, they have gases that asphyxiate us, they have plastic bullets. They have real bullets too, and sometimes you can hear them at night. We have our hands and our feet, and the idea not to react. What is important is the collective, and it is the hope that sustained us along the way to Europe from our origin countries. Two, three years we were on this way. The cops have long truncheons too, falling hardly and quickly on our bodies, breaking our bones and our hope. Some of these truncheon are electrified, and you can feel your body trembling, you cannot breath anymore, and you feel that you are dying. This day was as many other. This time there were no Moroccan cops, it was us and the Spanish guardia civil. Many of us went through the gate, we were in Melilla, the guardia civil opened the little door and sent us back to Morocco. The cops sent back the wounded, the healthy. And they sent back two dead bodies. The night was dark, we were afraid that the Moroccan military could come and deport us to Oujda (on the border with Algeria), finishing the job of the guardia civil. So we hid in the bush. Only in the morning we found the body of one of our brothers, apparenly dead. We also saw in the light of the dawn the heads of the police close to the gate, and we realized that something terrible had happened. The Moroccan said that there was another dead body. We were standing close to the corpse, we made a couple of phone call, asking for help, trying to make the international authorities aware of what was happening. Somebody came, filmed saw and could witness that we are saying the truth. Also Mediciens sans Frontieres saw the wounded and one of the corpses, they also know that one of the two dead had his stomach wounded. Why then all this silence? We, the illegal as they call us, the one that have no voice, swear by our dignity (because, although they kill us we still have our dignity as human beings) that we witnessed how our comrades have been hit untill death, that the Spanish cops opened up the little door and threw the two corpses away towards Morocco as if they were dogs. And we now that we will return to the gate. Many of us are escaping from hunger and war, but we are not afraid: although all the officials leave us alone, we know that we are human beings and that we did not do anything, that the murderers are not among us, and that at least god knows all this. We ask all social organizations to join this call for justice. We ask all organizations that witnessed the facts to denounce them. We demand from the Spanish government to respect art. 157 of the immigration law. We demand from the Spanish government the end of torture at the border in Ceuta and Melilla.

Minutemen Threaten to Shoot Protesters

Monday, July 18 2005 @ 09:29 AM PDT Contributed by: Anonymous Views: 311 On Saturday, July 16th the Calilfornia Minutemen (formerly known as the Border Patrol Auxiliary) began armed civilian patrols of the border near Campo, CA. In response, more than 150 anti-Minutemen protesters converged in Campo to send a message that they should "go home." Video of this event is available online at http://sandiego.indymedia.org/en/2005/07/109906.shtml PRESS RELEASE: For Immediate Release Subject: Minutemen Threaten to Shoot Protesters (and their mothers) From: The Buenas Noches Brigade, an affinity group of Gente Unida Incident Date: July 16, 2005 Incident Time: Approximately 11:30pm Location: Campo, CA (along the U.S./Mexico Border Fence) BACKGROUND: On Saturday, July 16th the Calilfornia Minutemen (formerly known as the Border Patrol Auxiliary) began armed civilian patrols of the border near Campo, CA. In response, more than 150 anti-Minutemen protesters converged in Campo to send a message that they should "go home." A primary purpose of the protest was to disrupt the California Minutemen's ability to conduct their patrols. Numerous individuals and affinity groups focused on daytime activities, conducting two protests at the VFW office (one at 12:30pm and another at approximately 5:00pm). The protests clearly aggravated the California Minutemen. The Buenas Noches Brigade was formed to draw attention to the location of the California Minutemen during their evening patrols. Our goal was to subvert their ability to conduct their vigilante activities. In a sense of irony, we chose to adopt tactics similar to when the California Minutemen intercept people who cross their path (as dictated by James Chase on their website). Their tactics include: introducing themselves ("Buenos noches, Senor"), floodlights, non-physical engagement and friendly dialog. INCIDENT: Our efforts at applying said tactics were met with intense hostility and threats of violence. The video we have submitted with this press release shows us attempting to engage the California Minutemen in a lighthearted, humorous manner and their response. Because we were more than 300 yards away, there are limited visuals, but you can clearly hear threats such as "you come down here and you will be engaged in a firefight", "...I will shoot your motherfucking ass," and "you wanna play, let's play motherfucker." (Full transcripts follow). Our main intention for sending this release is to illustrate the two faces of the Minutemen. They portray themselves as law-abiding, peaceful, public servants but only slight provocation results in a willingness to use lethal force. They are clearly dangerous and their presence in California should not be tolerated. The Buenas Noches Brigade will be in Campo as long as the California Minutemen are in Campo. CONTACT INFO: Due to the serious nature of the threats made by at least one Minuteman, and our desire to not get our "motherfucking asses shot", we would prefer to keep our identities anonymous. We are, however, willing to reveal ourselves to reporters as necessary. You can contact our intermediary at xxx-xxx-xxxx. TRANSCRIPT (partial): Minuteman: ...let me make this very clear to you, we are armed and we will defend ourselves. This is not like the VFW. You come down here and you will be engaged in a firefight if necessary. Get the fuck out and go home." Buenas Noches Brigade: So what kind of song do you want to hear (laughter)? Minuteman: We are going up the hill to see your ass. Buenas Noches Brigade: I don't have that song (laughter). Minuteman: If you engage me with a gun, I will defend myself and I will shoot your motherfucking ass. Buenas Noches Brigade: We're being threatened with guns. So you are threatening us? That's a threat. Tell him we have video cameras...(loudly) We have video cameras. Minuteman: Listen assholes, you wanna play? Let's play motherfucker, let's go! Buenas Noches Brigade: Let's get out of here. Thanks, that'll be live on CNN tonight, "l'm gonna shoot your ass, motherfucker." Minuteman: Play it any way you want, asshole. Buenas Noches Brigade: CNN, ABC, NBC... Minuteman: That's your mother on all three channels!
