Unidentified immigrant rights activists and community leaders engage in non-violent civil disobedience, by chaining themselves together with lockdown PVC devices, in protest of Arizona's recently enacted SB1070 immigration enforcement law, outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Federal Processing and Detention Center, on Thursday, May 6, 2010, in Los Angeles.

I saw this story on our local news. Instead of a 'tea party', they held a 'pity party'.
Full slide show at link...interesting t shirts, etc.
From another article:
Los Angeles police have arrested more than a dozen protesters who chained themselves together on a downtown street to protest Arizona's new immigration law.
Protest spokesman Nelson Motto says 14 activists locked themselves in a circle Thursday afternoon and lay down in front of federal immigration detention center, blocking traffic for about four hours.
Dozens of helmeted officers surrounded the demonstrators before declaring an unlawful assembly and making arrests. No injuries were reported.
City attorney spokesman John Franklin says the 14 demonstrators will be charged with interfering with police work and failure to disperse.
The demonstrators oppose Arizona's new law and say illegal immigrants now in the U.S should be legalized.

I love it when left wing protesters piss off independent commuters and shoppers.
Should have drove a steam roller oven them
Pity Party Ping!
Vroom, vroom.
I guess these poor morons are unaware that California can’t do anything about Arizona law. Of course, it’s pretty obvious they have no respect for the law so why would they know anything about how it works. Just demand free stuff and eventually someone give it to you.
Pick ‘em up. Haul ‘em away.
I have a quarter horse that would love to do the hat dance on that crew.
Obama is relly bringing this country together isn’t he .What a f##ker!
Idiots.
Send in the Soylent Green Trucks.
Run the garbage trucks into there scoop these things up and empty back at the border.
Exactly. Perfect chance to round up the illegals.
Seconded
To save money on paving? Cali needs to save money right now.
Ping!
They are enemies to the United States of America and should be treated as such.
over not oven
How do these lockdown things work and where do they get them?
