May Day rally in Los Angeles features strong anti-Trump theme

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hundreds of people marched through Los Angeles on Sunday in a May Day rally that took aim at Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump for his anti-illegal immigration platform that includes building a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.

The demonstration in America's second most populous city, which has a large immigrant population, came just days after protesters smashed the window of a police car and blocked traffic outside a Trump campaign event in Costa Mesa, California, 40 miles (64 km) southeast of Los Angeles.

On Friday, demonstrators blocked the entrance of a hotel hosting the California Republican convention in Burlingame, south of San Francisco, forcing Trump to halt his motorcade and go through a back entrance to deliver his speech.

The rally in Los Angeles remained peaceful and drew smaller crowds than some past May Day demonstrations in the city, with several hundred people marching through downtown at one point but largely dispersing by midafternoon.

Members of the crowd carried a large blow-up effigy of Trump holding a Ku Klux Klan hood, along with signs that read: "Dump Trump."

"He's threatened that should he become president of the United States, in his first 18 months in office, he fully intends to deport all 11 million-plus undocumented persons in the United States. We don't take that lightly," said Juan Jose Gutierrez, of the Full Rights for Immigrants Coalition.

That was my first thought.

They could only turn out a few hundred people in the “second most populous city in the United States”, one that is a Dem stronghold?

That’s pathetic.

And the reason I say a prayer, immediately upon arising, for his and his family’s safety.

Any guess who’s paying for the signs, Trump figure and ‘protesters’???

Any guess why Lucy Nicholson and Jane Ross didn’t bother to find out?

Just another sign of how dang liberal trump is - at least that’s what the Cruz supporters who still believe he’s a staunch and un-owned conservative will try to tell us...

gaijin - that Trump balloon costs upwards of $40,000 - aren’t you a little curious about who paid for it?

And why the New York Times and LA Times don’t give a damn?
