Spanish-language DJ, Rafael Pulido - El Pistolero, spurs downtown rally in Chicago, Illinois

“El Pistolero is a sort of Spanish Howard Stern, a shock jock with a wacky sidekick who jokes about breasts and bodily functions.

But in addition to his verbal spitballs, he has become an unlikely champion of immigrants’ rights, credited with energizing thousands who plan to take part Friday in a massive march and a rally at Federal Plaza.

By Thursday, organizers were predicting that an array of labor, religious and ethnic groups could push the total to tens of thousands, possibly paralyzing Loop traffic in the process. And they were giving Pulido much of the credit.”
