| Again the Police Look the
Other way May 26, 2005 -- According to an eyewitness to the meeting in Garden Grove honoring Jim Gilchrist (May 25), despite having overwhelming resources on site from the very beginning, police allowed demonstrators to occupy Gilbert Ave and block the only exit available to Americans attending the meeting. This led to a confrontation between Americans and the invaders. In addition, the windshield of a car in the parking lot was damaged during the meeting. Some say the only way this could have happened would have been by a protester entering the lot and striking the windshield, or a heavy object being thrown into the parking lot from the crowd of demonstrators. In either case, the aggressive action would have been observed by police. This threat of bodily harm should have been enough for the police to disperse the demonstrators. |
