When good protests go bad

Things were rocking along recently at a Montgomery rally against Alabama legislators' 62 percent pay raise. But then, out of left field, came the question from state Sen. Charles Bishop, R-Jasper, of whether "all of the Mexicans should go back to Mexico."

The crowd of several hundred reached a general consensus that, in fact, they should, according to the (Mobile) Press-Register. It was not immediately clear whether those crowd members agreed that they, too, should repatriate their ancestors' homelands.
