View from Wilshire and La Brea

Just back from the immigration rally down the street from Variety -- and indeed, it was a sight to see. Six helicopters in the air... police stationed on every street corner (including plenty on loan, from nearby cities like Beverly Hills)... news camerapeople stationed high above on roofs... and of course, a sea of white shirts, draped mostly with U.S. flags (peppered by a few Mexico ones), along with plenty of banners.

The crowd was orderly, and things weren't too cramped -- you could easily make it to the street and back again. The crowd was very diverse as well; tons of people also were carrying cameras to document it all. As I walked around, Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez, the Mexican-born head of the California legislature's lower house, spoke.
