During last year’s march, some protesters faced criticism for waving Mexican flags. This year so far, there are a lot of American flags being waved. At Olympic and Broadway, the crowd spontaneously broke out into chants of ‘U.S.A.,’ as about a dozen cart-pushing street vendors sold flags, T-shirts, bullhorns and hotdogs. The aroma of onions and peppers filled the air in the streets.
