For some, http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=4465 de Mayo meant a chance to take a bat to the likeness of Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Cinco de Mayo also represented a celebration for the opening of a new youth center near 13th Street and Van Buren in downtown Phoenix. Part of the celebration was beating two Sheriff Joe Arpaio piñatas, which was a part of a fundraiser.
People bought tickets for a chance to take a swing at the sheriff.A lot of the people in attendance said they took the chance in fun because they are living in fear as the sheriff continues to launch those controversial “crime sweeps” around the Valley.
