Sideshows and Cruising. I’ll never understand the appeal.

[@bernadettesison5979]

[@macysondheim]

And that’s funny to you? Honest folk are out here trying to make a living & feed their families, and you got these criminals… these animals out here celebrating their non-existent holiday where they commit acts of vandalism, violence, & other criminal activities.

[@agentpapi]

Its not even them cruising its the police closing the roads to “stop traffic” even tho they are just causing more traffic

[@agentpapi]

@@macysondheimy’all can call us criminals but we work harder than any of you gringos out there😂

[@namsj]

War started in 1861, battle of May 5th was in1862, but took another 4 years. Mexico was losing the war until the USA Civil War ended and support was given to Mexico by the Union. Evil Gingos!

[@namsj]

LOL

[@sanjose101ful]

Why only guys celebrate this holiday ? Where are all the elderly, women and kids ?

[@Darok6699]

Why Gringos celebrate 5 Mayo, wtf?
Stop taking other countries Historical Days!!!

[@49ersFan415]

Cruising: Let’s drive 2MPH down the street and hold up traffic for those trying to get home after a long day at work then scratch out heads when everybody hates us.
Makes total sense.
