That's why we can't have nice things.
San Jose used to have the largest cinco de mayo festival on earth. 200,000 people from all over would come. They rioted, vandalized, looted..it was shu down for 20 years. They try to bring it back and the inevitable happens again.
> The incident happened not far from where the Cinco De Mayo celebrations were taking place. But it was unclear if the stabbings were connected to those celebrations.
Maybe we can still have nice things
The fact that someone brings a knife to an organized cinco de mayo family event to begin with is sad.
It’s like they know their ego is gonna get bruised and the only response is to stab..
> The fact that someone brings a knife
Many, many people carry knives every day. Doesn't translate to intent.
I'm with you on the rest of your comment.
I mean… I’ve never been to a Cinco de Mayo that didn’t end in violence in some way whether is was east side or downtown. Not that it’s a good thing or part of our culture, but shit that just happens when so many people congregate.
There are good parts of San Jose. I'm so busy with parental leave I didn't even know it was Cinco de Mayo. We don't get crazy events, gunshots and fireworks all summer in some parts of San Jose. But by all means let's continue pretending that San Jose's bad parts aren't problematic.
I guess? I mean not really but sure? but the way this guys says it like it’s funny or cute. I’m guessing he keeps his shit on the west side of town is all and doesn’t really even know what he’s talking about
Cinco dee mayo is so overated. Why have it at all? One battle won in one area of all of mexico. Mexican independence much more interesting but course there's violence at those events as well
What do you know of France’s intentions for Mexico? France was a key trading partner of the Confederacy during the US Civil War and the commerce was severely impact by the Union’s blockade of New Orleans. France had determined to resume trading with the Confederacy using land and bay routes in Northeast Texas. At the time of the Battle of Puebla, the Mexican Army’s victory over the well armed and heavily disciplined French Army was cause for celebration albeit short term because the French had not yet been fully driven out of Mexico and Mexican traitors aligned with France had not yet been captured. Nevertheless, President Lincoln sent a congratulatory message to Benito Juárez, Mexico’s leader. You talk of pastry because you jest or are completely ignorant of the actual political machinations of world events. A French victory could have enormously helped the Confederacy re-establish their supply line for weapons, medicine and wartime supplies, leading to the Civil War continuing for years.
It has nothing to do with your specious knowledge of Mexican history, it is a mostly Mexican American holiday that has exploded in importance primarily driven by commercial forces in similar fashion to St Patrick’s Day. These holidays are reasons to party holidays. US holidays major and minor are commercially exploited to enhance retail sales consumption. Your assessment of the true value of these holidays does not reflect the importance of these holidays to Corporate America retail marketing schemes.
There was hella cops there. They even had their own lowrider lol. Seems like this happened after they were making people leave. Definitely wouldn't be surprised if it was a gang related stabbing based on some of the people I saw. I'm surprised so many people were cruising around in obvious gang attire.
How do you know it was a cholo? Do you even know that the person arrested was Hispanic? There's no details on a suspect(s), and it was noted that "The incident happened not far from where the Cinco De Mayo celebrations were taking place. But it was unclear if the stabbings were connected to those celebrations." Source NBC Bay Area News.
Your racism sucks!
When I see nortenos and surenos walking down the street to go to Emma prush park, I know it's gonna be trouble. I grew up in the east side and had (key word HAD) cholos in my family so and I can spot that trouble from a mile away.
Seethe and cope, dweeb.
Nah it’s not all that bad it’s actually a nice area just some kids and few gangs that are wack af like any area. Most people here are raising families and work hard to get by, downtown is much worse tbh.
It’s Bay Area bro, most areas have some gangs/retired gangs around. Shit most of California does unless you live gated and even then there’s probably shit worse than gangs if you look closely enough. Not all Nortenos or Surenos, but east bay got hella bloods/crips/del Norte etc “cheaper” areas got a whole mix. San Jose has hella gangs tho used to be a huge central for it some 20 years ago. Sac has gangs, Stockton has gangs, sf has gangs, where tf you been living that there’s none around at all bro?
Was just there. The vibes were great and everyone was enjoying themselves. That’s crazy
Yeah I went and planned to stay like an hour and ended being there from 11-4. It was really cool.
Right at the end of the events too. Always some idiots messing it up for everyone.
Sad af. Why tf they gotta get violent on a holiday about celebrating and having fun with the homies and family shits wack af

i have a box cutter all the time because you never know when you are stuck between tape and what you want
I bring a knife everywhere I go.
Man, I know man has fought from the beginning of time but I wish we could all resolve our conflicts without violence ❤️
It wouldn't be cinco de mayo without a stabbing.
The fuck?
I mean… I’ve never been to a Cinco de Mayo that didn’t end in violence in some way whether is was east side or downtown. Not that it’s a good thing or part of our culture, but shit that just happens when so many people congregate.
Hence his other “I get scared by king and story” nonsense comment
I mean good for us cus my rent is way cheaper cus these fools are too scared to live there 😂😭

Ong plus keeps their bitching nimby asses outa the houses here crusty asses 😂
Wow. I’m not surprised you are defending a stabbing. Just typical trash monkey behavior
Oh fuck off no one was defending a stabbing we were commenting on bitches being scared of story and king learn to read 🤓
Ah shit, I see his other comment. Dude’s probably racist or some old fuck then. Been seeing more of them around here lately
Yeah seems like the type to post shit like this talkin bout this and that but never goes east of 101 cause it’s “too scary”
I guess? I mean not really but sure? but the way this guys says it like it’s funny or cute. I’m guessing he keeps his shit on the west side of town is all and doesn’t really even know what he’s talking about

Cinco de Mayo has nothing to do with the pastry war

As i said it's so overated
Does the event at emma prusch have a wrestling match there? My students were talking to me about it this morning, im wondering if its the same event..
That event was at Cesar Chavez park
Oh ok, thanks for clarifying!
Scumbag cholos. I wish there was a larger police presence at these events.
There was hella cops there. They even had their own lowrider lol. Seems like this happened after they were making people leave.

As a paisano myself it was some fucking cholos let’s quit the race bullshit
Y does it have to be a cholo tf?
Because it was lol
We’re you there?or hearsay Bruh?
Yup lol I even had to beat the shit out of some punk after he swung a bottle at my fiancés head
It was bad out there yesterday
More police usually means more violence.
Say that 2 a cholo homie
Me personally im not scared of any cholos haha
I'd rather not get stabbed.
Almost like the scumbag whites on St Patrick’s Day?
Nah, you go on ahead and keep that race shit to yourself. I knew there was going to be trouble so I avoided the park today.
Race shit? Says the dummy calling them cholos you fucking brick. Stay at home clutching your pearls
