LA Protest March Pictures

[sce56]

As viewed at LA IndyMedia & LA Times

Anti-war activists Cindy Sheehan, second right, and Ron Kovic, in wheelchair, lead thousands of protestors through downtown Los Angeles.



























I was one of the Pallbearers





We stopped under this window when we heard TAPS coming down from ten floors up!















At the end of the demonstration, thousands of marchers walked directly passed Los Angeles City Hall. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa went into hiding on the day of the march. He did not speak before the 7,000 or so Angelinos who marched against the Iraq war, and he released no statement supporting the demands of the antiwar marchers. Instead, in his weekly radio address, he made an appeal to the Republicans, "In Iraq and here at home, it's time for a new direction. We must stop talking about challenges, like energy, and work together to solve them." The ONLY "new direction" for Iraq we are interested in is the one that points out the IMMEDIATE DIRECTION HOME for U.S. Troops! Remember - Mayor Villaraigosa attended a pro-Israel rally on July 23rd, 2006, to show his "support for Israel" as it was bombing Lebanon into the stone age. THAT HE CAN DO - but he can't address the people of L.A. to say that he supports what the majority of Americans want - an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq!

6. Kovic has really aged in the last 15 years. I mean, he looks

like he aged more than the expected 15 years. I remember seeing him in person during Iraq War I.
