And from reports I read, perhaps 2 dozen people total were at this event. Of course he has a right to protest, campaign, whatever, but when I have heard him speak at numerous public meetings, "weird" is the nicest word I can ascribe to him. If the local minutemen want to affect real change, why do they not report the businesses that hire illegals? Publicity for its own sake and engendering fearfulness seem to be his only goals. Did WCYB even air the footage in question?
