I am mexican american and was in the march this past weekend in tucson arizona, a "border guardian" was burning the mexican flag right in the middle of the protest and the police did nothing to stop the group , but the minute some mexican american students protested by throwing water at the flag to stop the fire they were pounded upon by the police in total 6 mexican american citizens were arrested and none of the guardians.

The human rights coalition is investigating to see if charges can be brought upon the officers who actually hit 14 and 15 year old girls in the scuffle that ensued.

Update: A friend of a Muslim student allegedly attacked at Baylor University says the attack was a hate crime.

Nohia Javed told investigators she was physically attacked Saturday night as she walked to her dorm outside the Draper academic building just before 9 p.m.

“As soon as he approached her he came-up to her from behind and he said you Arabian b, the whole time he was attacking her he was like you Muslim this middle eastern that. I mean just cussing her out. The sad thing is Nohia is not even Arab she’s Pakistani,” the victimÂ’s friend Huda Said says.
