Brawl breaks out between flag-waving nativists and Hispanic protesters in Phoenix Walmart lot

[marmar]

A confrontation between two groups of protesters — with wildly divergent points of view — broke out in a Phoenix Walmart parking lot Saturday morning as off-duty police employed by the store stood by, reports the Phoenix New Times.

According to police, one man was hauled away after pummeling independent videographer Dennis Gilman, who claims he was filming a demonstration by Hispanic activists opposing Walmart policies toward day laborers.

Management at the store recently announced that they would prosecute day laborers for trespassing in the lot located near a Home Depot, before backing off when protesters showed up. The protests have led to counter-protests by heavily-armed nativists who show up each day with American flags, telling the protesters to go home to Mexico.

Although the off-duty cops were keeping a watchful eye on the groups, a fight broke out on Saturday as they watched.

According to Gilman, a man pushed his camera, and then attacked him as he attempted to fight back. ..............(more)
