1. Is this the first actual violence against protesters regarding immigration?

This appears to be an escalation to me. Were they an organized gang?

2. Sorry

But watching the video and reading the ballooned comments ... it was the "pro-immigrant, anti racist group" that threw the first punch and pursued the teabagger after he retreated. The teabagger appeared to come back to help the guy that was getting gbeat down in the middle of the street.

Folks, we don't have to resort to Fox-style reporting to maintain the moral high-ground here.

3. According to participants I spoke to...

(and I admit I didn't do an in depth interview) the teabagers were continuously harassing the demonstrators. You didn't see what happened in the hours before. read the account at youtube.

4. As one who was there

Actually, the tea bagger threw the first blow. If you watch the person with the bullhorn, you can see, just before the fight begins, a hand flash out and hit him. That's what starts the fight.
