May 1 - Illegal Immigrant Protest

[Manedwolf]

Local rally. Note the relative size of the tiny American and GIANT MEXICAN flag.

This is not how you win allies to your cause in a place where there's Revolutionary War markers and memorial cannons on every corner...I guess they didn't get the PR memo.

I've made some major updates to my photo-report on the Los Angeles City Hall march

Interestingly, here in Central Ohio the only ones affected by yhe "protest" were the Latino businesses themselves. A lot of Mexican shops etc. closed down for the march. The gringos went elsewhere. The illegal immigrant protesters refused to use their buying power at their local legal-immigrant businesses. Dyuuhhh....? Like the Watts riots... let's destroy our own stuff in protest!


THey called it, "A day without immigrants"... to teach us a lesson what would happen if they were not there... call it a "Day without illegal immigrants" and make it PERMANENT!!!
