Have you seen this man?

Description: Hispanic male; used to call himself a liberal, but has since turned right-wing; does not like young people. Elected by a very small portion of the population, but is the face of a highly organized ‘gang’ of ‘suits’ that got him elected and run the city.

Clothing: Wears suit and tie, but is also known to try to blend in with audience he is speaking with. Known to hang out with other ‘suits’ with power.

Armaments: City Budget, Curfews, Anti-youth agenda, graffiti task force, riot squad, a police force, and a gang unit at his disposal, his hand to “spank” graffiti artists, dangerous rhetoric, dark smoke-filled back rooms where decisions are made, etc.

Demeanor: Once a a good politician (spin artist), but has since turned to ostracizing even his most ardent of supporters. Out of touch with the community.

The mayor and his ‘gang’ are highly organized; have the power to affect the lives of citizens, particularly poor and of color; may be potentially dangerous and harmful to the future of the city of Albuquerque. Warn your friends and neighbors!

YA Basta! PROTECT YOURSELF!

The above ‘wanted poster’ is, of course, satire - a joke - and is designed to highlight how dangerous it is to stereotype people.
