Cinco de Mayo Pro-US Flag Rallies Attract Calls for Violence Against High School Students

[alp227]

Yep, this is happening at Morgan Hill's Live Oak HS, where a group of boys wore American flag T-shirts on Cinco de Mayo in 2010. Of course, this is dog-whistle bigotry in the same fashion as Reagan going to Mississippi and giving a speech about "states' rights", no matter how loud the average right winger will scream and deny it.

For a California school district, the cause is the prospect of rallies to celebrate American patriotism and protest a court ruling banning students from wearing US flag t-shirts on Cinco de Mayo. The effect of the rallies’s promotion and subsequent hate language being used by supporters have led to of threats against high school students from Morgan Hill Unified School District (MUSD). As a result, MUSD had to alert parents about safety concerns...

The PatriotNet post also contains examples of members sharing their comments and reasons as to why such an event should be held. The following screen grabs, to say the least, speak for themselves:

“BRING ON THE RIOTS WE ARE READY!!!!”...

That thread lead to this threat by a George Wrentmore, “be sure to apply OPEN MEGS and BLAST before circling the a-holes. Wes McKay then suggested that riots would occur because Democrats would want a disturbance before the November elections.

As I'm reading this (and the real screenshots of the sick comments made by these "patriots&quot I can't help but sense the psychological projection by self-righteous Patriots(TM) painting those evil, illegal brown people as law-breaking thugs. Look what's going on in Southern Nevada over Cliven Bundy. And then in Morgan Hill.

If this is what's considered "patriotism" in modern America, I wish to have no part in it. 'MURKA! WE'RE NUMBER ONE IN CRANKY IDIOTS!! WOOO!!!!!

And I wonder how many of these Tough Patriotic Protesters would have shot at Muslims doing the same thing "for the Quran".
