One protester dressed up as Santa Claus held a sign that read, "Santa supports workers, why doesn't Wal-Mart?" and tried to recruit more people to join him. Another wore a Guy Fawkes mask.

The protest ended on the corner of Mountain Avenue and 5th Street, where protesters blocked traffic. Although the demonstration was organized and orderly, within an hour the Ontario police department declared the blocking off of an intersection an unlawful assembly and repeatedly asked protesters to vacate the street.

Ten protesters chose to stay on the street and said they expected to be arrested. The rest of the protesters walked back to the sidewalk in an orderly fashion.

Among those arrested: the man who dressed up as Santa.

7. By Walmart, you mean the police...

and by Santa, you mean a guy standing in the middle of the road blocking traffic, when there were dozens of other protesters on the ample sidewalks...

This tactic by the protesters is called a publicity stunt. Dozens of people on a sidewalk with thousands of people going passed? Who needs that when we can put pictures of Santa being arrested on the evening news?

I can't wait to be called a Walmart-loving conservative tea bagger because I recognize a publicity stunt when I see one...
