Is L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa in Big Trouble? An Illustrious Political Career Maybe Gone Due to the Alex Sanchez Fallout:

Is L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa in Big Trouble? An Illustrious Political Career Maybe Gone Due to the Alex Sanchez Fallout:
By Marc Chamot

"Another Californian sanctuary city goes down in flames."

In June 25th the FBI arrested Alex Sanchez the executive director of Homies Unidos, a gang-intervention nonprofit.

Alex Sanchez, who was known nationally for his anti-gang work with Homies Unidos, is held on conspiracy and racketeering charges. He allegedly was involved with the Mara Salvatrucha gang and seven homicides.

But, something more sinister is going on in Los Angeles California these past few days, between its current mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s decision to abandon his bid for the California governor’s race, and with the most recent arrest of a criminal non-profit benefactor, Alex Sanchez by the FBI. Who’s being accused of running an LA youth group and at the same time running a reviled and violent criminal organization like the Mara Salvatrucha on the side.

Did Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa know of the impending FBI arrest of Alex Sanchez four days earlier, which could probably end his illustrious political career, and it could put him in jail for a very long time?

According to June 22nd of the LA Times, Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles, mayor of the United States' second-most-populous city, has decided not to seek the Democratic Party nomination for governor of California in next year's election.

They say that Villaraigosa's local popularity has slipped to 55% in recent months, following his divorce and revelations of his romantic affair with a second female television reporter. That's about the same tepid percentage as he got in the mayoral election against political nobodies. A recent Times poll indicated 47% did not want the mayor to run for governor.

But in earlier field polls it showed that Antonio Villaraigosa, the newly re-elected mayor of Los Angeles, is a surprisingly strong contender if the senator stays in Washington.
March field polls on California’s gubernatorial candidates, "Villaraigosa is in a fairly strong second place, next to Jerry Brown and well positioned if he decides to run for governor."

Villaraigosa, a former Assembly speaker, probably got a boost from his re-election campaign, which put him, center stage in Los Angeles during the days the poll was conducted.

He has not said whether he will run for governor, but he hasn't denied it - and his likely position as the only Democratic candidate from Southern California would help him.
But Villaraigosa, like Newsom, is relatively unknown outside his home territory, the poll shows. He has 29 percent backing in Southern California and 12 percent in the northern portion of the state, while Newsom has 25 percent support in Northern California compared with 9 percent in Southern California.

"Newsom has a very regional constituency," DiCamillo said. "He's got a base to work from, but it's a narrow base."

Even though, everything is showing that Antonio Villaraigosa had incredible opportunities, and a far better advantage over San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, to get the Democratic nomination for governor, he abruptly pulled out the race.

The big problem is this, why didn’t the LAPD, who are considered to be one of the most advanced law enforcement agencies in the land, and who have the most advanced intelligence gathering apparatus’ on gang activities in the nation, but why weren’t they able to detect Alex Sanchez as gang member?

As an experienced and knowledgeable player in California non-profits, on their rules and regulations, most non-profit moneys are awarded to groups by both, the local city mayors and the local city councils. Knowingly that Alex Sanchez had criminal records, but why was he given taxpayer funds in the first place?

And why did it take the FBI, not the LAPD to bring down this politically connected taxpayer and free loader individual? How did Alex Sanchez get away with it in Los Angeles with his criminal activities all this time?

It’s beginning to look like that the recent arrest of criminal gangster Alex Sanchez, has ties to powerful, local politicians who range from L.A. City Council President Eric Garcetti to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Villaraigosa & Garcetti Backed the Arrested Anti-Gang Expert Alex Sanchez. And it sure looks like that Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s sudden departure from the governor’s race, might be bracing for this huge scandal that may rock his administration soon.

Close scrutiny of the media coverage reveals an definite disposition to judge and convict Alex even before his trial begins. For example, almost all of the coverage follows uncritically the logic laid out in the indictment. No attempt is made to notice that, for example, Alex is not named in most of the 66-page indicment. Other plaintiff’s names appear throughout.

Although the story of Alex Sanchex touches upon people and issues-immigrants, gangs, Salvadorans- that are explained-and dealt with- simplistically, dangerously, the leadership of Los Angeles must speak out in defense not just of Alex, but of a fundamental principal of a just society: that you are innocent until proven otherwise.
