Torches, smashed windows – must have been a Tea Party!
posted at 10:12 am on May 3, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
After months of warning that Tea Party protests would erupt into violence, a wave of vandalism and violence crested in Santa Cruz this weekend. Masked protesters wielding torches swarmed through the business district, smashing windows and chanting “the streets are on fire!” and “Revolution!” It’s exactly the kind of armed uprising that Tea Party critics predicted … except that it didn’t erupt at a Tea Party:
A group of protesters demonstrating at a May Day rally for worker’s and immigrant rights downtown broke off into a riot vandalizing about a dozen businesses around 10:30 p.m. Saturday, police said.
Windows were left shattered and graffiti including anarchy signs were tagged onto buildings. The Rittenhouse Building, Urban Outfitters, Jamba Juice and Velvet Underground all had windows broken, according to Capt. Steve Clark.
Santa Cruz police asked for help from all agencies in the county to break up the riot of about 200 people. At one point, protesters lit a fire on the porch of Caffe Pergolesi and blocked access to firefighters, officers said. Police were able to clear out the demonstrators before more damage was caused.
A large rock sat outside Verizon Wireless on the 100 block of Cooper Street, where vandals tried to break the window twice, according to Clark.
Jim Hoft has video of the riot:
Let’s do a quick recap. Tea Parties have been held in various locations for well over a year, and none of them has turned violent at all. Arizona passes an immigration law a week ago, and already we’ve had one Leftist demonstration result in violence, calls for the overthrow of the US, and rioting.
Will the same hyperventilating media that sees a militia in every Tea Party make the same broad-stroke analysis of the open-borders Left after a real show of violence and demands for revolution? Don’t hold your breath.
Update: Bob Owens at Confederate Yankee says it wasn’t just Santa Cruz, either, but also Asheville, NC. The Boss Emeritus finds another in San Francisco. She also finds a Univision reporter participating in a protest he was covering. Will Univision suspend the reporter as KOTA did Shad Olson?

Let the mainstream media be hypocritical in their coverage. Nobody is paying attention to them anyway. What a joke they have become.
volsense on May 3, 2010 at 10:14 AM
There is a reason the word “sinister” is Latin for “left”.
andy85719 on May 3, 2010 at 10:15 AM
It wasn’t just Santa Cruz…
catmman on May 3, 2010 at 10:16 AM
Ah, I miss Santa Cruz and the family-friendly social gatherings ;)
Do you think they will be demonized? Don’t hold your breath…
Timothy S. Carlson on May 3, 2010 at 10:17 AM
You won’t hear anything about illegal immigrant behaving illegally. The MSM believes that they will all become future voters for the Democratic party.
kingsjester on May 3, 2010 at 10:17 AM
The problem with this issue is it is framed as a Mexican issue. While I believe we let people in this country to do jobs and we created this problem in a way. I think that this has to be thought of as a whole. Mexicans aren’t the only people who want to come to this country. We must have equal protection under the law. That poor person from Uganda shouldn’t have to be pushed to the back burner because of expediency and a shared border.
tomas on May 3, 2010 at 10:19 AM
Just goes to show exactly what this sector of the population is about. Would be interesting to find out how many of the folks doing the rioting are illegals and how many are lefty loons causing mayhem in support of illegals. Can’t we just deport them all? Let them have their own little country? Oh wait, I guess in California they pretty much do already!
BadMojo on May 3, 2010 at 10:19 AM
Did you see this photo?
David Shane on May 3, 2010 at 10:20 AM
I was thinking about this on the way to work this morning… 18+ months of Tea Party protests and the main violence has been by leftists against Tea Party people such as Ken Gladney and the guy whose finger got bitten off.
Any time you get a lefty protest, though, it’s typically accompanied by rioting and violence or at least a habit of trying to provoke people into starting fights.
teke184 on May 3, 2010 at 10:20 AM
They’re all white, all of them, every single one of them is white.
saint kansas on May 3, 2010 at 10:21 AM
You are absolutely right Volsense…the LSM is becoming more and more obvious in thoeir bias and a lot of us arent’ paying attention to them…we know they lie and manipulate…
The only violence at the TEA Party rallies has been committed by SEIU thugs…but you wouldn’t know that from how it was reported…or not…
CCRWM on May 3, 2010 at 10:21 AM
Was the S.W.A.T. team called out.
joeswampy on May 3, 2010 at 10:22 AM
The entire “mainstream media” are nothing but pure leftist slime and have absolutely no credibility. They are one and the same as the Marxist/Communist protestors.

Didn’t Santa Cruz just ban the toys from Happy Meals?
NYconservative on May 3, 2010 at 10:23 AM
I almost can’t believe that’s real, it’s so outrageous. I’m not necessarily denying it is, I simply can’t believe the audacity.
Diane on May 3, 2010 at 10:24 AM
Wow…just outrageous…
I’d like to hear the LSM hyperventilate about hte fact that 90% of the protestors are Latinos…
CCRWM on May 3, 2010 at 10:24 AM
These people are such POS’s

Kjeil on May 3, 2010 at 10:31 AM
You just don’t understand…when will you conservatives ever begin to understand.
These riots were born from the Tea Party, the Tea Party has set the tone…this is what they wanted to do, but the media was watching, so they didn’t.
These riots, torching, destroying is the fault of the Tea Party and there pent up angry mood…it was in their hearts, it was what they wanted, it is the Tea Party’s fault for making protesting available to everyone, they made protesting acceptable, meaningful.
In forty years, these kids will be protesting just like the Tea Party…they are in training, kind of like an internship.
right2bright on May 3, 2010 at 10:32 AM
I think in many cases they are the Marxist/Communist protesters.
The media in this country is not on the side of freedom and they have shown that for many, many years. I just wonder what they think will happen to them when they finally get their utopia. It has to be something wonderful otherwise they are just useful idiots.
Ragamuffin on May 3, 2010 at 10:33 AM
Reminds me of the protests in AZ last week, where illegal aliens and their idiot supporters were hurling bottles, rocks, and other debris at police, yet the MSM described the demonstrations as “mostly peaceful.”
AZCoyote on May 3, 2010 at 10:33 AM
Aren’t these the Santa Cruz’s that shut out Michelle Malkin, or gave out her telephone number…something about them rings a bell.
This is the most liberal town in California, yes even more then SF, and this is what they have created.

No, they were busy trying to plug a leak in the Gulf.

I do have to give the drive-bys credit. Every time I think they can’t sink any lower in their hypocrisy, they manage to surprise me.
Doughboy on May 3, 2010 at 10:36 AM
The violence, generally demonstrated by leftist rallies, is nothing compared to the inherent danger of the ideas expressed by the Tea Parties. Braking windows and setting fires is one thing. Damaged property can be fixed or replaced.
Demonstrating for freedom, liberty, fiscal responsibility and limited government is some totally different. Ideas are inherently more dangerous the actions. “The pen is mightier than the sword.” The founding fathers knew the inherent tyranny of an over powerful central government and feared it. And, rightly so. The Tea Parties express those same ideas today. Those ideas led to revolution and humiliation of the greatest empire. How can that compare to a broke window?
EliTheBean on May 3, 2010 at 10:36 AM
That would explain the heightened tension.
Daggett on May 3, 2010 at 10:38 AM
Geraldo totally denigrated the Tea Parties in the wake of the 20 March non-spitting, non-racial name slurring event. Last night he reported on this issue and gave it about 2.5 seconds of coverage. Had it have been a Tea party that caused all this damage, it’d have been a cataclysm for Geraldo, but, since these were Hispanics/Latinos doing all this damage, then, natch, no reporting, no analysis, no in depth pictures of Geraldo standing in front of broken store fronts, no calculations of lost businesses, no assessment of injuries, no questioning of police, no witnessess—nothing. *crickets chirping*…..
travesty.
ted c on May 3, 2010 at 10:38 AM
Ironic, I always stated that Asheville was the Eastern equivalent of Santa Cruz…guess I was more right then I thought.
Most any other city in NC, those guys would have been met with a couple of good ol boys with shotguns…the protests would have been over rather quickly…
right2bright on May 3, 2010 at 10:39 AM
The travesty is that you wasted your time watching Geraldo…
right2bright on May 3, 2010 at 10:40 AM
Yep.
There will be no leftist concern about this violence because, like everything else in their relative moralistic equivalency mindset, it is justified, because it is oriented *against* ‘the right’, ‘conservatives’, etc.
Tea Party folks, even if non-violent, are a threat to their worldview, and are therefore to be viewed and described as an actual threat, even if it’s simply a group of blue-haired grannies on a street corner.
It’s an idealogical war, and anything – *anything* that *their* side does is ‘OK’. *Anything* that our side does – including breathing, speaking, etc – is a threat to be destroyed.
This is true whether it’s political discussion, allocation of resources (eg: water/money to Dem districts, not to Rep districts), media coverage and spin, targeting of private citizens and property, etc.
The MSM will *not* cover this actual violence with anything resembling the breathless concern about imagined potential violence with which they cast the Tea Party and participants. We saw this as well in the unfounded rumors about the census worker who was killed (must’ve been an anti-government right winger, remember?) compared to actual killing of military recruiters, shooting at a Holocaust museum, leftie nutbag flying his plane into a govt. office, etc.
Midas on May 3, 2010 at 10:40 AM
Why would some participants in this choose to wear masks or scarves to hide their faces? Could it be that they actually expect an eruption of violence that might get them into legal trouble if they could be identified? You don’t see face masks at tea parties.
ProfessorMiao on May 3, 2010 at 10:41 AM
Ah, yes, The Legend of ‘Bagger Violence. Pay no attention to anything that doesn’t fit that narrative.

It is easy to see that this photo is fake, look at the angle of the shadows, the poster should have been in the sunlight.

Agreed, I am pretty sure that they just attacked their supporters. Very smart.
Cindy Munford on May 3, 2010 at 10:45 AM
I say they are useful idiots so almost everything is wonderful utopia to them. The average house pet has a better sense of danger/benefit than leftards do.
platypus on May 3, 2010 at 10:45 AM
no dude–my wife happened to be watching Fox, I was working on something else and came up from the basement and this case was on. After a few, “Geraldo’s a dork” I caught this crappy reporting of the event. I think AP posted a thread on how biased Geraldo’s reporting against the Tea Parties has been. Geraldo’s reporting (or distinct and blatant lack thereof) on this violence this weekend should be put up in a thread. Geraldo on 20 March versus Geraldo on 1 May, would be illuminating….
ted c on May 3, 2010 at 10:46 AM
Nah, the guys face is at the same angle/direction, and it’s not in the sunlight either.
Midas on May 3, 2010 at 10:47 AM

I’m, sorry but that has to be a Photoshop.
ElectricPhase on May 3, 2010 at 10:51 AM
Being WHITE, it amused me during the civil rights and Rodney King riots, that the blacks would show their anger of whitey’s mean treatment, by burning down their own neighbor hoods. Go figure.
BruceB on May 3, 2010 at 10:51 AM
Nice try. Using the poster to the left as a baseline, it is obvious that this poster could easily be slightly rotated so that the writing is just past the point dividing shade from light.
I’d be more suspicious of the different color markers used.
platypus on May 3, 2010 at 10:52 AM
ABC is gifted at avoiding issues and reality I’d say.

They cover their faces because they expect tear gas. And, yeah, that probably means they expect violence. (Learned this from one of Jason Mattera’s ‘infiltration’ videos on YouTube–that guy is awesome!)
Dee2008 on May 3, 2010 at 10:58 AM
For those wondering about the photo I linked – I didn’t take it, and the poster appears to be trying to verify it’s origin. Don’t know how he got it.

I can’t disagree with you on that one. Not only that, he’s an arrogant, disingenuous SOB.
ted c on May 3, 2010 at 10:59 AM
It wasn’t the local anarchists rioting in Asheville. They came from as far away as Oklahoma City.
The local newspaper says 17 have been arrested and charged and only two are local.
Coincidentally (?) there was a Christian rally going on adjacent to where the riot took place and many of the damaged cars belonged to those at the rally.
Curmudgeon on May 3, 2010 at 10:59 AM
Progressive violence is “justifiable rage against capitalist oppression and fascistic bigtory“.
Conservative violence (if it ever appears) will be “racist militia terrorism aimed directly at the first black president“.
It’s all cut ‘n paste with the MSM.

cmsinaz on May 3, 2010 at 11:00 AM
Sorry, but if a gang was coming down the street and destroying property, trying to put me out of business…they would be looking down the barrel of a shotgun. I few shots fired in the air would have sobered these punks up.
The problem is two fold…hooligans uncontrolled…and people allowing them to get away with it. You have every right to defend your property and your life…
The police, and citizens should have never allowed this to happen…never, under any circumstances.
right2bright on May 3, 2010 at 11:00 AM

docflash on May 3, 2010 at 11:09 AM
It’s interesting that the Ashville news clip describes May Day events as demonstrations on behalf of workers’ rights when, in fact, May Day is a communist/socialist demonstration in protest of capitalism. The Santa Cruz and Ashville mayhem appears to be the work of youth anarchist groups who show up like clockwork at WTO events. These tools for the Marxist-Maoists are fouling their own nests. They are spoiled punks all, unable to recognize the ideology that will enslave them.

If you know anything about Santa Cruz, this is truly entertaining to witness.
Saltysam on May 3, 2010 at 11:37 AM
Hey, shadowcannon,even if there wasn’t this obvious evidence of violence and destruction, all that’s necessary is to apply lefty standards of proof-i.e.,someone, somewhere said it happened and -voila!-it happened.Case closed.
Dr. Carlo Lombardi on May 3, 2010 at 11:37 AM
The embedded video of the “riot” doesn’t show any smashed windows. Did you watch it? It specifically states “Jim Hoft has video of the riot:” and then the embedded video.
That video is of people peacefully walking down the road.
I was able to go to YouTube and find some videos of the riot.
ButterflyDragon on May 3, 2010 at 11:41 AM
Alright….
I’LL POST IT ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!
Here is the local newspaper web page report, along with the ABC NEWS local affiliate’s news clip embedded on the same page, which shows the violence and destruction!.
Saltysam on May 3, 2010 at 11:43 AM
No surprise. The illegal alien radicals and their mentors in Mecha, LaRaza, International ANSWR, and the rest of the May Day communists are the ones that the MSM must have been thinking about when they were slandering the Tea Partiers.
More leftist projection.

Santa Cruz, what a liberal DUMP! The only town I know of where shop keepers place out-dated merchandise out in boxes by the front door SO THAT THE “STUDENTS” AND RIFF-RAFF DON’T STEAL FROM INSIDE THE STORE.

It is also the shameful result of the 35 year lab experiment called unchecked socialism mixed with a bloated university.

Obviously a false flag group of wingnuts. Santa Cruz is about as left wing as Berkeley. Wait till the Political Correct police get the word out.
No mention of arrests. They probably won’t identify anyone.
burt on May 3, 2010 at 12:37 PM
Easy for her to say; she probably lives in McLean, Va. (an expensive D.C. suburb populated largely by idiot liberals).
If she were here in AZ, I wonder if she’d be so “happy” with the substantially increased numbers of home invasions, carjackings, kidnappings, identity theft, etc. that this invasion brings with it.
I’d bet the only illegals she’s personally familiar with (in the sense that she sees them from a distance occasionally) are the Mexicans who cut her expansive lawn and trim her hedges.

Yes, it’s a happy invasion, like someone pouring a bag marshmallows over your head!

Sultry Beauty on May 3, 2010 at 1:46 PM
So, to show that AZ is incorrect in thinking immigrants are a problem, they riot and destroy property in NC and CA? Interesting plan.
Somehow I think they’re showing that AZ was correct in thinking that perhaps the violent thuggery, riots, and criminal activity is something you wouldn’t want to have and encourage… but I’m usually wrong about these things.
Does anyone want more violent riots and damage to their property? It seems there are some violent criminals looking for a new home, now is the time to encourage them to come destroy your town.
gekkobear on May 3, 2010 at 1:52 PM

Only white people can be racist apparently, so no.
Heralder on May 3, 2010 at 2:41 PM
I have no trouble believing it. I live on the border of Texas, and the Mexicans literally stand on the bridge between the US and Mexico and protest when we don’t give them what they want, as their government literally eggs them on. Some of them, illegal and legal protest over here on the US side of the border, 5 minutes from their own country. Why ICE doesn’t get out there and arrest the ones that they know are illegal, I don’t know. We, as citizens have the right to protest in our country, not them, and there they are, easy to round up, and walk right back into Mexico. It just makes my blood boil.
Susanboo on May 3, 2010 at 2:48 PM
I am certainly dismayed at the reactions of many to the new Arizona law (which I feel is a perfectly reasonable and necessary piece of legislation). However, to ascribe this “rioting” as having anything to do with the May Day demonstrations is rather lacking in substance. Even to call this a “riot” is a stretch (particularly in light of there having been only one person arrested).
Ed, you have a tendency toward exaggeration on this site, and I don’t think this benefits a conservative cause when you do.
oakland on May 3, 2010 at 4:28 PM
And look who the rally was filled with, dumb early 20s white kids who think the world is owed to them. They give good dumb early 20s white kids like myself a bad name.
Rbastid on May 3, 2010 at 4:38 PM
The Mainstream Media typically gives any radical faction from the “Left” a pass when they engage in demonstrations, on the basis that these factions are justified in protesting whatever it is they’re protesting, so if it spills over into violence that just means that they have been pushed to the wall and must do whatever they need to do in order to get some action on the issue.
Of course, since the Tea Partiers are perceived to be a “Right” based group, the MSM premise is that they must be protesting from a basis of racism or anti-government or some other reason that the MSM deems to be unjustified or wrong in their ideology, and therefore try to manufacture the perception that these people are violent militant radicals out to destroy society.
This has been the premise and agenda of the Liberal/Progressive factions of the MSM for at least since the VietNam era, and has only progressively gotten worse. The only hope for change is beginning to happen now, with Obama dissing the press and MSM, and playing political games with them, to the point lately that Lib/Prog journalists are finally waking up to how the POTUS and Dems are using and abusing the MSM’s sympathies in shameful ways.
KendraWilder on May 3, 2010 at 4:57 PM
I assume you are being sarcastic. Twenty or thirty years ago a second or third level “civil rights leader” was quoted as saying the same thing and appearently meaning it.

that was a riot?
tlynch001 on May 3, 2010 at 7:47 PM
Dear President Obama: I’m planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me.
We’re planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. Into Mexico, and we’ll need your help to make a few arrangements.
We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.
I’m sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon, that I’m on my way over?
Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. Please print all Mexican government forms in English.
4. I want my grandkids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bi-lingual) teachers.
5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my grandkids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school.
7. Please plan to feed my grandkids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver’s license so I can get easy access to government services.
9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico , but, I don’t plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won’t make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. Flag from my house top, put U S. Flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.
13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.
14. I want to receive free food stamps.
15. Naturally, I’ll expect free rent subsidies.
16. I’ll need Income tax credits so although I don’t pay Mexican Taxes, I’ll receive money from the government.
17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Gov’t pays $4,500 to help me buy a new car.
18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I’ll get a monthly income in retirement.
I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who walk over to the U..S. From Mexico . I am sure that President Calderon won’t mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.
Thank you so much for your kind help. You da man!!!
