Protesters confront UT conservative group
http://www.statesman.com/metrostate/content/metro/stories/03/3tension.html
On Tuesday, a flurry of e-mails emanating from the University of Texas warned that a conservative student group planned a mock roundup of "illegal immigrants" the following day in a demonstration against illegal immigration.

The mock roundup, similar to one in January at the University of North Texas in which students were encouraged to capture people posing as illegal immigrants, never materialized.

Young Conservatives officers at UT told the American-Statesman that while they had once considered staging an illegal immigration demonstration similar to the one at the University of North Texas, they ultimately decided it would be a bad idea.

"We looked at the event (the University of North Texas chapter) had, and while we agree with their political position, perhaps their tactics would not be appropriate," said Lauren Conner, chairwoman of the UT chapter of the Young Conservatives of Texas.

1. afraid of getting their asses handed to them
that kind of demo has to be a flash mob kind of thing, before the public finds out and trashes it.

2. Yep as long as they can fly under the radar they do it
Otherwise like cockroaches, they scurry in the light of day.

The Burnt Orange Report blog has a video link as well.
