About 18 people turned out this morning in front of The News-Times building to protest the paper for what they believe is biased reporting on immigration.
18 people folks. 18 people on a SATURDAY (a.k.a., a day in which most people HAVE THE DAY OFF).
18? Although his group was founded here in Danbury, he could only attract 18 people! Oh man, that's rich.
Good grief, I can get at least 20 people to come over my house to play poker (and that's with a two hour notice). This "protest" was just like his senate run...a joke.
Like I stated, the jury is still out on whether or not immigration will play a significant a factor in this year's election. At least these types of silly photo-ops prove that the citizens of Danbury have no love for the moron from Darien.
Hey Paulie, stick to what your good at, like babbling about stupid stuff, pulling garbage from your ass, and quoting from your idiotic "MexDonalds" report... and oh yeah, look out for those pies.
BTW: I wonder who does all the landscaping in Darien...
Okay folks, nothing to see here...everyone move along...thank you.
18 people.
NOTE: Wow, I'm sorry folks. I forgot to thank the reader who emailed me the photo. Here are two others which were sent to me that I forgot to post yesterday.

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
I wish I could have seen the look on the reporters faces when they filed this story.
