L.A. Commie Day Rally Attendance Half of What Was Expected

I thought everyone was so outraged about Arizona that hundreds of thousands were going to show up for the May Day rally in downtown Los Angeles?

Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck estimated that about 50,000 immigration rights activists participated in Saturday's May Day rally, about half of what police estimated earlier.

Police had anticipated a larger crowd because of the controversy surrounding the recent passage of a tough immigration law in Arizona that allows police to check the legal status of people they believe are in the state illegally.

“All this was an estimate," Beck said when asked about the department's earlier projection. "These are educated guesses. We were unable to tell what the event in Arizona would do, so we estimated 100,000 people.”]

Only one arrest has been reported for a minor vandalism incident.

“The event was peaceful," Beck said. "Everyone who came out here was peaceful,” Beck said.

70% of Americans agree with the Arizona bill. Despite the hype from the press there are not as many opponents as they'd like to think.
