But this year, the anti-Trump skywriting message was followed by dozens of Bernie Sanders supporters taking over Colorado Boulevard after the parade.
I dont know who did (the sky writing), said Randy Jurado Ertll, author and community activist. I think its interesting that they chose to express themselves that way, similar to the way the Bernie supporters decided to march.

We wanted to use the venue to send a positive message that people are supporting Sanders and that its important for people to get to know him, become aware of his platform and his story, he said. We need somebody who wont just give us a slogan. Trump says things that are irresponsible.
Sanders marchers carried signs and a paper mache float of the candidate promptly after the parade had finished.
Attempts to reach Trumps campaign Friday morning were unsuccessful.

"It's not unusual for rogue groups to follow the tail-end of the city's annual New Year's celebration, protesting one issue or another. Occupy Wall Street protestors have marched at the end of the parade in the past, as well as religious groups, PETA protestors and more."

We can't count on the corporate media conglomerates to bring newsworthy information to the people so that we can wisely deliberate on the future of our government.
