View VIDEO Hey, all,
The “No Border Camp” on the Calexico - Mexicali border ended with a thorough ass-whooping.
On the last day everything went well, up until the last moment, when participants marched down to the border wall, attempted to shut down traffic on the road, by laying down in the middle of the street, in traffic, and started cutting holes in the boder fence.
Within seconds approximately 100 Border Patrol agents showed up, and surrounded the crowd. An activist drummer tried to motivate his comrades and annoy BP agents with his war drum. He was repeatedly asked to cut it out. He chose to ignore the wise words. BP agents consequently wiped up the street with the guy, and he was off to the pokey in handcuffs. This is part of the romantic video, below.
Next, the crowd was driven away from the fence. Batons, pepper pellet guns were applied liberally, even some rubber bullets were fired, and a good time was had by all. Some BP agents seem to have enjoyed the fiesta, you can see them smiling in a video of the event.

No, the border was NOT deleted … Notice, that Indymedia activists are referring to the pepper spray pellets as “chemical weapons”.
I can already see ACLU, MALDEF and National Lawyers Guild ambulance chasers working late at night, preparing to sue the Border Patrol, local police, etc.
Enjoy.
