A Strange March Up Broadway

by Next Move Monday, May. 22, 2006 at 5:41 PM

The Minutemen marched through the heart of the downtown Los Angeles shopping district and the heart of a vital, bustling immigrant community on Saturday.

A Strange March Up B...
5-21-06_0791.jpg, image/jpeg, 640x427

Using a provocative tactic, made famous by the Orangemen in N. Ireland and utilized by the KKK and neo-nazis on many occasions, the Minutemen marched directly down a thoroughfare packed with the very people they target.

The Minutemen numbered about 120 while counter-protesters numbered around 200. I'm sure the reports on numbers will vary widely but the march was handcounted and 120 is the number I have.

A professional crowd counting service hired by a radio station on March 25 estimated the crowd at La Gran Marcha 2006 at 1.7 million. If this is true today's march was almost 15,000 times smaller. Miniscule by comparison. Just a blip.

LAPD numbered around 100. Police presence was heavy and the Minutemen, like the KKK before them, marched with a police escort. The Minutemen acting brave and jovial behind the heavy riot police guard but I'm sure they weren't happy with the way things occurred.

Homeless advocate turned anti-immigrant token black activist Ted Hayes marched arm-in-arm with known migrant hunter Jim Gilchrist. The unusual looking Barbara Coe also marched arm-in-arm with Hayes.

Save Our State leader Joe Turner was not spotted and appeared to be absent from the proceedings.

Another strange turn saw the Minutemen marching with a banner reading "Civil Rights in Mexico".

The counter-protesters were loud and they followed the Minutemen all the way up to City Hall. At City Hall the police line was extended and counter-protesters were not allowed to get near the racist rally was taking place on the steps.

Little by little various Minutemen and their supporters made their way down the hill, across the lawn toward the side where the counter-protestors had amassed. In an apparent error in planning, porta-potties were set up on the other side of the police line right next to the counter-protestors.

Originally dubbed an American Civil Rights March organized initially by Ted Hayes, the numbers of African-American participants on the Minuteman side were very, very small.

Let's be honest, the total of all Minutemen participants was very, very small.

I cannot report on any arrests or serious altercations. Other reports on this site may offer more information on arrests.

Why the police escort?

by LGH Tuesday, May. 23, 2006 at 10:00 PM

You seem to ask a lot about why Minutemen / SOS demonstrations often require a police escort? Its because you anarchist / communist neanderthals are primitive savages and thugs when in a mob. You don't believe in the freedom of expression guaranteed by the laws of this land and are more than willing to attack peaceful demonstrators if given the opportunity. One on one you are NOTHING and that's been proven over and over again. As if I need to remind you of this. So don't try and compare police escorting the KKK in the 50s to civil Americans fighting for law and order in a society running amok with unwashed, malfeasant slime like yourselves.

Anarchist Minuteman

by green tenant Thursday, May. 25, 2006 at 8:32 PM

Very funny!

However, if anarchy is a harmonious anti-authoritarian society that is based on voluntary association of free individuals in autonomous communities, with mutual aid, and self-governance, what is one to do when an authoritarian government and its’ policies bring in large numbers of individuals who create disharmony in society? Is this the voluntary association of free individuals?

I think he has a righteous blocking concern.

Pitiful

by Chacon Sunday, May. 28, 2006 at 10:15 PM

Pitiful.

As you can see in a foto on another thread on this site, Chelene/ Patriotic Dream marches down Broadway in a Confederate flag t-shirt.

Then she weeps because she is met with hatred.

The blindness is astounding. I mean, WHAT PART OF BLACKS AND MEXICANS WERE LYNCHED UNDER THAT FLAG DOES THIS WOMAN NOT UNDERSTAND?

She marches down the street SPEWING hatred. She is SO PROFOUNDLY RAICST THAT SHE WEARS A CONFEDERATE FLAG SHIRT AT A SUPPOSED "CIVIL RIGHTS DEMO."

Of course we all know that it was no "Civil Rights" anything, but not only is she TOO STUPID TO KEEP UP THE PRETENSE, but She's also too stupid to worry about giving grave offense to some of the Toms marching with her.

Like, if I was trying to unite with white SOSers (excuse me while I gag) I WOULD NOT WEAR A T-SHIRT THAT READ "LYNCH WHITEY."

And if I DID, I would have the good sense to EXPECT what I would get.

DAMN - nazis are ^%)^# STUPID.
