City Hall, photo by CTBlogger 02.06.08
For those who thought the immigrant community wouldn't stand up to anti-immigrant extremism, last night was your wake-up call.
Over 4,000 people jammed City Hall and forced the closing of a portion of Deer Hill Ave as the City of Danbury passed the next step in their idiotic anti-immigrant crusade. I walked around the entire area and to give you an idea of how massive this crowd was, here's a map of City Hall. The area is shaded area in blue represents the crowd.
Here's a small slideshow of the crowd.
Not since the marches of 2005, have I seen such a outpouring of outrage and anger towards City Hall and it's long overdue. Watching the yellow-bellied anti-immigrant wackos from Elise Marciano's camp take one look at the crowd and turn around was probably the funniest thing I've ever seen.
No, I take that back...
Then, the annoyed xenophobe was BLASTED by the crowd as she attempted to do an interview with Fox61. The noise was so loud towards Marciano that they eventually gave up on the interview and Marciano walked away with a bitter ol' evil witch look on her face (to the laughter of everyone of course).
Unfortunately, I used a bad videotape and the footage from outside is all messed up. I'm going to see if I can savage any part of the footage as I really did a great job capturing the audience.
I'll have the video of the debate online later today. Also, I have a real special comment on the recent message from Mayor Boughton and supporters of this idiotic proposal who now have the AUDACITY to blame the anger from the immigrant community on those who opposed the ICE ACCESS proposal.
