Immigration Protester Shoots HImself in the Baseballs

I'm busy helping my daughter move in to a new apartment, but I had a few minutes and a hotel computer so I thought I'd post this story:

Two men carrying Mexican flags in protest of Arizona's immigration law ran into the outfield during the seventh inning of the New York Mets' game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night at Citi Field.

The men were apprehended by security fairly quickly without much incident.

Prior to the game, about 40 people across the street from the ballpark chanted "Oppose racism!" and "Boycott Arizona!"

Others stationed closer to the subway exit handed out leaflets that requested Major League Baseball move next year's All-Star game out of Phoenix.

“It’s not going to distract me. I’m here to play baseball,” Diamondbacks interim manager Kirk Gibson said after his team’s 9-6 victory over the Mets. “You have an opinion, I have an opinion. They have the right to say what they want, but it’s no distraction.”

As the trespassers were taken from the field people in the stands started chanting "USA, USA."

Apparently this guy never heard about the damage the immigration protesters in California did to their cause when they showed up for a huge Los Angeles rally waving their Mexican flags. Public approval of their cause plummeted, and the same will be true of these idiots in New York who just gave a whole lot of people who may not have been paying a lot of attention a reason to back Arizona.
