Dear Protesters, Please go home. Leave our town alone. I have heard most of you are rich trust-fund babies. If you actually want to HELP people, spend your week off on the other side of the border at one of the many orphanages. Help people. Sitting around singing punk songs and dancing, that doesn't do anything. It doesn't prove anything. GOOD WORKS, that's what gets people's attention. That's when you are actually doing something for a cause. You have money to create your camp, create your website, fund your radio station. How come none of that money helps the people you say you want to help? Send your money to Mexico. Spend your time with the people down there. You don't know them. You don't understand their struggles until you live amongst them. Do that. Then I will respect you. I have never read that you ever wanted to be a "peaceful" group so I am not surprised by some of your groups aggressive behavior. But I understand one bad apple can spoil the group. Those men arrested are not martyrs. If I were you, I would think that they and every other disruptive and violent protester is exactly opposite what the group stands for. They've made their bed, let them rest in it now. Go home, rethink why you chose to sit and talk about making a difference instead of going and bringing aide and assistance to people in Mexico, instead. In less then a month, everyone will have forgotten you. You have accomplished nothing but made the people of this town not respect you.
Go home, You've accomplished nothing
