The mayor who had been informed of the minuteman before hand but did nothing to stop them also was in the parade. There has been no statement from the mayors office at this time.

Councilman for the 11th district Bill Rosendahl shown in the video did voice his opposition to the minutemen but did not take any action to try to prevent them from marching.

Don't read into him more than that. His victory was a victory for the Mexican people who waited 130 years before having one of their own as mayor. But that does not mean that Villaraigosa is progressive, again, he's a Democrat - that party that supports the murder, pillaging, raping and plundering of Iraq. He's a spokesman for an imperialist, bourgeois party. \r\nAs for MEChA membership - MEChA is a student organization, nothing more. He is not a student and therefore not affiliated with any MEChA chapters. But even so, MEChA is not ideologically uniform. It is a liberal organization that includes some progressive students and some of the most reactionary types imaginable. \r\n","author":"ricardo flores magon","parent_id":167205,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2006-07-12 14:50:06","modified":"2006-07-12 14:50:06","fileurl":""},{"id":192346,"heading":"Trucha Tonio","article":"One Picture Tells it All","author":"Pachuco","parent_id":167205,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","created":"2007-01-30 03:12:15","modified":"2007-01-30 03:12:15","fileurl":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2007\/01\/tonio.jpg","image":{"original":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2007\/01\/tonio.jpg"}}]}
