*On May 1st, as a result of the Mexican boycott, national retailers reported .0042% lower sales for the day, with a 67.8% reduction in shoplifting.

According to data from the Los Angeles County Sheriff, Los Angeles had a reduction in the following:
82% reduction - auto theft
28% reduction- murders/ violent crimes/ rapes
73% reduction - vandalism / tagging
54% reduction - drug related offenses (not including the area surrounding the march)
31% reduction- domestic violence cases
64% reduction- misdemeanor cases (shop lifting, etc)

CHP reported that today was a record low in the least amount of traffic accidents on Southern CA freeways.

Looks like the immigration rally was well worth it. Maybe we can do this one again sometime.
