rioting in Watsonville

[bu-bye]

Word is a number of High schools and a large number of people in the thousands have taken to the streets and chucking bottles and rocks at city hall. Things are not that bad as of now but thats not to say it could not get bad.

I live about a mile or two away from there. Doing a mag and ammo check now.

EDIT: I posted in the wrong forum. Admins please move for me. Thanks

WATSONVILLE, Calif. - -- An organizer of a weekend march in Watsonville protesting immigration legislation could face criminal charges for failing to get a permit, not following police orders and blocking traffic.

Parade organizers in Watsonville said they did not apply for a permit because they expected the march to be small. Police estimate 2,000 people showed up. But city officials said the group simply refused to comply.

Protesters marched on Saturday, calling for peace, justice and equality.

Police said marchers didn't follow their orders to stay on the sidewalk.

Now march organizers could face fines plus charges for the police department's time.

In Salinas, police said they expected about 50 people to march. But when the crowd swelled to about 300, organizers reportedly failed to return police phone calls.

Salinas police said they documented problems from the march. Sanctions against organizers may be considered.

If something like this escalates into a LA riots type situation, i've got a couple thousand rounds that they are going to have to endure before they get close enough to fire bomb this gringo.
