LOS ANGELES, 21 May 2006--In spite of the obvious provocation, protest organizers agreed in advance that non-violence was the order of the day in confronting the minutemen's march against migrant rights along the now-historic Gran Marcha route. And so it was, but the protestors' hard-bitten contempt was palpable, and the the shoppers and shopkeepers along Broadway were clear in their resentment.
Full report: Provoking Violence: The Minutemen Confront Migrants and Supporters in Downtown LA by Leslie Radford
UPDATE: Two protesters, including a well known Chicano activist, were arrested in Downtown, Los Angeles during a confrontation with members of the volunteer border patrol the Minuteman Project. Activist clash with Minuteman Project by C.J.
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. LAPD numbered around 100. Police presence was heavy and the Minutemen, marched with a police escort.
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.
