What's worse, the sloppy writing of the reporters displaying their bias ("anti immigration protestors")
or the quotes from the local law enforcement ("all arrested from that side") displaying their bias?
Ain't it grand that the non-judgmental word "TROUBLEMAKERS" is used on the protestors. How about "PATRIOTS" instead? How about "A-HOLES" for the KKK?

Midland Several people were arrested while protesting a
KKK anti-illegal immigration rally Saturday afternoon at the Midland County Courthouse.
Before the Klan even arrived, police and portions of the crowd physically collided and officers forced two men to the ground and a woman was put against a gated fence prior to their arrests.
Seven anti-immigration
protesters were arrested, according to a Midland Police Department news release. ....
http://www.kltv.com/Global/story.asp?S=5045191.... Police say about
500 people lined the streets
to protest the
25 Klan-affiliated rally attendees.
Many counter-protesters were with the
Anti-Racist Action group and had traveled from San Antonio and Houston.
About 150 law enforcement officers from several agencies stood by as the groups demonstrated and screamed at each other.
The League of United Latin American Citizens held a peaceful protest nearby at Centennial Park. ....
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/3979644.html.... Counter-protesters at the courthouse said they were offended that the
San-Angelo based Klan traveled to Midland for a rally.
"I was born here in Midland, Texas and I didn't invite them here," said Rudy Bonilla, who attended the demonstration with members of True-Lite Christian Fellowship church members.
They also complained about the cost to Midland for extra
security, which officials estimated at
$31,000.
http://www.mywesttexas.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=16805924&BRD=2288&PAG=461&dept_id=475626&rfi=6Violence erupted Saturday at a Ku Klux Klan rally against illegal immigration as an angry mob protested the San Angelo based group's presence in Midland.
"This rally was the largest of this type we've had," Midland County Sheriff Gary Painter said. "The one 15 years ago was nothing compared to this," he said of the 1991 Klan visit.
Seven people were arrested during the two-hour demonstration outside Midland County Courthouse as rioting and altercations ensued, but the
troublemakers were believed to be associated with the Anti-Racist Action group, Painter and Midland Police Department Lt. Bernie Kraft said.
"
They were all arrested out of that ARA side of it, and in my opinion they were affiliated," Painter said. Arrests ranged from assault to disorderly conduct.
