I'm guessing they're from Santa Monica, Brentwood, or Pacific Palisades. But that's just me.
I went downtown today to check out the May Day protest . I tried to get there before noon but because it took me forever to find parking at the Red Line subway station I didn't get there till after 1 pm.
I didn't see any of the marches, rather just a lot of people walking around with Mexican and American flags (fashioned into hats, capes, shirts, etc.). I walked up and down Broadway and snapped a series of photos and some short videos.
I didn't see any counter-protesters (e.g., Minutemen) on my walk.

Apparently there's some violent confrontations going on at Macarthur Park during the second march in the late afternoon. Should have stuck around!
