of our culture that a lot of us that live here in san diego, that care for, you know, humanitarian issues and values, we don t like to see happening in our country. i want to play something quite striking that was on chris hayes show a couple hours earlier on this network. enrique morales told chris this. as the buses approached the border patrol facility, the police almost encouraged the protesters to stand in front of the bus, because the streets were cleared. the buses could have easily driven in. all of a sudden they stopped in front of the protesters? that doesn t make any sense. then one guy comes out and screams at the bus and the kids. more people joined. then the media joined. so there were about 40 or 50 people and the police are just standing there.
released, right? yes. the buses were going to go into the border patrol facility. the buses were supposed to roll through the streets of murrieta, which is a small town, known for its hot springs, it s a little resort. there s wine country in the area. it s a little community. i think the fame that they received of what happened yesterday is not the fame they want to have, they don t want to have the hazleton, pennsylvania or selma, alabama or farmers branch, texas, where we ve seen this hate rise, and we ve seen this hate be shown all over the world, and fortunately, the overwhelming majority of the american people say, we do not stand for that, that s not who we are. those are not our values. it was a sad day in american history yesterday. we will remember that. the young man that you saw there, he came with a couple of his friends, he did go to a counter protest, not in a violent way, in a peaceful way, but he was attacked. they threw a punch at him, a
