Freeper Immigration Protests fizzle out...

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3181571/posts

I love this comment...

Excellent, they just added one close to me today. Literally 15 minutes away. Now if only I can crawl out of bed early enough, as it’s from 11 am till 2 pm and that’s when I’m normally asleep.


And another interesting remark...

Yale does not have an overpass according to Mapquest. It's just a small side street that doesn't get near the freeway. I'll do more homework and hope I'm feeling up to it. I'm ready to do my small part, once again, but the directions make no sense. Thank you for all your travels regarding this invasion.

And this enthusiastic supporter...

I feel your pain. I’m in Lawrence Kansas which is known as Berkley of the Midwest. It really isn’t as bad as Berkley, but it ain’t nothing like the rest of Kansas. Anyway, what good will it do for me and my family to stand on an overpass by ourselves? Without serious organization, there won’t be anyone else there.

And the message from the event organizers website...

"Attention Patriots, There is a rumor circulating from our opposition that our National Protest has been postponed. This is simply not true."

They were getting more people flipping them off than honking their horns.

Protesters demonstrated Saturday in Oracle, Ariz. against a planned shelter for undocumented children in the city. Event organizer Robert Skiba said about 40 to 50 people had gathered by around 8:30 a.m. local time.

A protest in La Mesa, in San Diego county, drew dozens of opponents of illegal immigration Saturday along the overpass of Interstate 8, according to NBC San Diego.

About 100 supporters and opponents of Dallas County’s plans to house immigrant children launched dueling protests Friday, according to The Dallas Morning News, which reported that the two sides “stayed calm as they interacted.”

Pro-reform advocates outnumbered anti-immigration protesters four to one Friday at at one of the planned protests in Philadelphia.

Sounds like another Operation American Spring.

As long as someone else does all the planning, arranging, organizing, coordinating, communicating, and, you know, showing up and stuff..."
