Demonstration Against LAPD May Day Brutality

LAPD May Day Brutality DemonstrationWe demonstrated against the LAPD's vicious May Day attacks on families at MacArthur Park on Thursday May 17, 2007. Although the march and rally were organized by the right wing of the immigrant right's movement, there was still an air of radicalization and people still are not satisfied with the all too quick to conciliation tone.

Outrage at LA cops’ May Day assault by Randy Childs is a great summary of the violence the state is willing to use against its citizens when ruling class hegemony is threatened. The new sanctuary movement in SW is a great article on how ordinary people are fighting back against Washington's racist anti-immigrant tide.

Don Larsen of the Utah County Republican Party calls illegal immigrants "Satan's minions."

The cited article is a good indication of reactionary republican racist thought, but the comments on GNN under the abstract are a fun read.
