I always knew that so many of the Mexicans in the LA area were out to do ethnic cleansing in the area but this is so right in their face that it is amazing.
LAPD, as well as the sanitation Department, Parking Enforcement, General Services, the Health Department, Motorcycle Officers and a Helicopter raided Jamiel’ Law Petition signing in Leimert Park, on Sunday, August 17. The Shaw’s were asked to show ID as well as provide Social Security numbers. Let’s make this perfectly clear: American citizens were denied the right to collect signatures to place an item on the ballot while Special Order 40 protects illegal alien gang bangers from being asked their immigration status. This is an outrage. How is this different from a Police State shutting down a legal public attempt to redress grievances? It isn’t. Call the Los Angeles Police Department (Southwest Division) and asked who sent them to harass the Shaw family. This kind of multi-department harassment had to come from the highest levels of Los Angeles Government.

Villaraigosa and the City Council won't let our police protect you and your family from illegal alien gang bangers, but apparently have no qualms about deploying the police, in significant numbers, with air support, to "protect" you from the Shaw Family's effort to get your signature on the petition to put Jamiel's Law on the ballot.
Please read Althea Shaw's report at the Mayor Sam website to learn the details of the shameful "raid" City Hall staged yesterday. The police actually told Mr. Shaw he could not gather signatures at a public park, but would instead have to go door-to-door.
Now, I realize our Mayor never passed the bar exam, despite four tries, so let me set forth, for his benefit, the text of the First Amendment:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
The First Amendment applies not just to Congress, but to state and local government, by virtue of the Fourteenth Amendment. [Gitlow v. New York, 268 U.S. 652, 666 (1925).] Sections 2 and 3 of the California Constitution likewise protect freedom of speech and the right to petition.
Obviously City Hall does not "get" it. Instead, they seem to be applying "laws" from totalitarian nations, where police are rountinely used to intimidate dissidents who have the audacity to challenge the status quo. Is L.A. even part of America any more?
So this brings us to my question: ACLU, where are you?
This disgraceful "raid" on the Shaw Family is EXACTLY the kind of abuse of government power that the ACLU should combat: a city using its police force to harass American citizens, peaceably assembled in a public park, to gather signatures on a petition for a ballot measure. The Shaw Family has a constitutional right to petition in public places, and no obligation to go door-to-door.
How about it, ACLU? Will you step up to the plate and protect Americans' civil liberties? Will you file a lawsuit right now to enjoin this abuse of police power? Maybe you can do what the People's Law School failed to do despite having had Villaraigosa as a student for three years: make him understand the law.
This goes to show you these people are for nobody but the raza. Yet they call everybody else racists because they know that Americans are onto them. They don't have a good arguement for what they are doing.

Excellent post AJP! Here's praying that the citizens of LA will come out in droves and defeat mayor anchor baby. It's time for them to stop paying millions in reward for the criminal entry and other crimes perpetrated at the hands of illegal aliens against America and her citizens.
Disgusting-but not a surprise. This reminds me of a protest led by Ted Hayes a while back. Ted and those who he was protesting with had a permit for the park and were peaceful. Illegal aliens and their supporters show up- throw bottles etc. The police shut down the park and denied Ted and those with him the right to peaceful protest because of the illegal aliens and pro-illegal supporters behavior. They blocked the entrance to the park, etc. The police and mayor sided with the illegals. Once again-another disgusting example of Illegals having more rights than Americans.

I called my wife and told her to pack their bags and move to my parent's place until it settles down more. From what I have read and heard from friends and family living in the area, it is nasty in LA and tensions are flying like you would not believe.
Oh yes Illegal Aliens having more rights than American citizens-much ado about nothing
I have to say that I feel very blessed because my wife's father has agreed to buy our home in CA so we can move away just as soon as I get back home. I plan on making it September instead of waiting until December. But then, I work for my wife's father so he is quite understanding about it all. We are going to move to the Midwest somewhere.

I am very happy for you. I hope that you are able to all make a safe move.

That was a very good call. I for one won't be surprised when you tell us this situation has escalated. I guess mayor anchor baby thought if they along with the media ignored the situation that it would go away.
I predict in the upcoming weeks it won't just be an uprising in California. Americans are getting angrier by the day. It's about to get really ugly. Whatever you do STAY AWAY FROM CHICAGO. Feel free to PM me if you need help in steering clear of all of the illegal alien hell holes. Illinois has more than a few.
Congratulations and Good luck with your move!
