Turn-out Much Smaller Than Anticipated..

Well, the big Costa Mesa illegal alien rally seemed to be a bust. While they were expecting 5000, only an estimated 1200 showed up. It seemed that a little rain kept these passionate 'freedom fighters' at home. The OC Register blamed the small crowd on the 'morning downpour'. This morning downpour was an actually an extremely light drizzle. Perhaps their movement isn't as popular as we would be led to believe?

The most upsetting part of the whole demonstration was the fact that public safety was brushed aside in a effort to give these clowns a place to gather and chant. The police station and fire station are directly behind city hall. However, the entire intersection was barricaded in all three directions. If there had been a police or fire emergency, a few extra minutes would had to have been taken in order to clear the crowd and remove the barricades so that the emergency vehicles could get by. Hasn't the mantra always been that seconds save lives? The lives of legal, tax-paying Costa Mesa citizens are apparently nowhere near as important as the ones of those here illegally.

My neighbor remarked the other day that if "they weren't here, all of southern California would shut down". Is that not the most ridiculously stupid thing you have ever heard? It is that kind of misinformed and defeatist attitude that exacerbates this growing threat to the American way of life.
