Rock throwing violence, in France and in Santa Barbara
And even in the United States, people are having problems with stone throwers (even here too in Israel, there have been some with Muslim hoodlums in past years): in Santa Barbara, at one of the illegal immigrant marches, the house of an elderly couple was confronted by hoodlums who threw stones, and even eggs (via Michelle Malkin):
A peaceful school-sanctioned protest march in support of illegal immigrants turned ugly Monday when students from Santa Barbara High pelted the home of an elderly couple with rocks and eggs.If the vandals were illegals themselves, one can only wonder if they pelted rocks and eggs because they don't want to stay around anyway. I don't know, but, they may not want to get citizenship now, because if they do...they'll be making it easier for the authorities to arrest, convict, and send them to jail!
The incident took place at the home of Joel and Eloise Gomez on East Canon Perdido Street after the couple exchanged words with some of the 300 or so students making their way back to campus, about one block away.
Off-campus student protests against a proposed law that would make felons out of illegal immigrants have taken place across Santa Barbara in recent weeks. But this one, conducted with police escort and with school officials close by, is the first that has involved any report of violence.
Mrs. Gomez, 70, said she and her 74-year-old husband heard the marchers approach, chanting "Sí, se puede" (Yes, we can) and other slogans.
"We were out there and there they come with their shouting and shaking their fists," she said. "We were just saying stay in school, learn English, you know? They didn't like this."
Mr. Gomez said he saw two girls pick up rocks and throw them at the house. One ripped through the screen and hit the front door, he said...
...Fifteen minutes later, said Mrs. Gomez, another group of girls returned.
"They all lined up there and at the command of one of the girls they threw eggs all of a sudden," she said. "They did their damage and ran like rats."
In all, nine eggs were lobbed at the home.
"I was going to go out there," said Mrs. Gomez. "I would have been pelted by eggs. Something told me just stay in."
Once the students had left, she added, two other girls knocked on the door to offer assistance, said Mrs. Gomez. Soon after, the couple called police.
The Santa-Barbara News Press article, unfortunately, is as pro-illegal immigration as can be, not to mention very propagandistic. Watch carefully now:
"This is not just a movement that's happening in Goleta or Santa Barbara," he said. "It's a worldwide uprising of people that are standing up for themselves."So let's see what we have here. They're completely ignoring the Hidalgo Treaty of 1848, and saying that they'll support illegalities to boot. But worst of all, they're strongly hinting at the Muslim uprising in other parts of the world, France included, and taking it all out of context by justifying it! (See also this topic for an earlier example.) I think I can see now what Diana West was talking about in her columns.
Mayor Marty Blum told the students that she thinks the city will soon vote to oppose any federal legislation that would make being in this country illegally a felony. "City Hall has already heard your voices," she said.
Freshman Jonathan Aguiar said he didn't learn anything from the speakers. "I knew it already."
The 15-year-old added, "It's not fair for the immigrants to be told they're criminals."
Phillip Kuzmanovski, 15, agreed.
"This state used to be Mexico," he said. "We can't make it illegal for them to be here."

Consider:
The missing element in every human 'solution' is
an accurate definition of the creature.
The way we define 'human' determines our view
of self, others, relationships, institutions, life, and
future. Important? Only the Creator who made us
in His own image is qualified to define us accurately.
Choose wisely...there are results.
Many problems in human experience are the result of
false and inaccurate definitions of humankind premised
in man-made religions and humanistic philosophies.
Each individual human being possesses a unique, highly
developed, and sensitive perception of diversity. Thus
aware, man is endowed with a natural capability for enact-
ing internal mental and external physical selectivity.
Quantitative and qualitative choice-making thus lends
itself as the superior basis of an active intelligence.
Human is earth's Choicemaker. His title describes
his definitive and typifying characteristic. Recall
that his other features are but vehicles of experi-
ence intent on the development of perceptive
awareness and the following acts of decision and
choice. Note that the products of man cannot define
him for they are the fruit of the discerning choice-
making process and include the cognition of self,
the utility of experience, the development of value-
measuring systems and language, and the accultur-
ation of civilization.
The arts and the sciences of man, as with his habits,
customs, and traditions, are the creative harvest of
his perceptive and selective powers. Creativity, the
creative process, is a choice-making process. His
articles, constructs, and commodities, however
marvelous to behold, deserve neither awe nor idol-
atry, for man, not his contrivance, is earth's own
highest expression of the creative process.
Human is earth's Choicemaker. The sublime and
significant act of choosing is, itself, the Archimedean
fulcrum upon which man levers and redirects the
forces of cause and effect to an elected level of qual-
ity and diversity. Further, it orients him toward a
natural environmental opportunity, freedom, and
bestows earth's title, The Choicemaker, on his
singular and plural brow.
Human is earth's Choicemaker. Psalm 25:12 He is by
nature and nature's God a creature of Choice - and of
Criteria. Psalm 119:30,173 His unique and definitive
characteristic is, and of Right ought to be, the natural
foundation of his environments, institutions, and re-
spectful relations to his fellow-man. Thus, he is orien-
ted to a Freedom whose roots are in the Order of the
universe.
Let us proclaim it. Behold!
