Las Vegas had the welcome waggon ready for Joe
http://www.lvrj.com/news/hundreds-of-protesters-greet--sheriff-joe--93183739.html

Sheriff Joe Arpaio rode into town Friday without his posse, but he was far from alone.

About 200 protesters greeted the polarizing sheriff of Maricopa County, Ariz., as he arrived at Stoney's Rockin' Country bar and dance hall on south Las Vegas Boulevard for a private "happy hour" with hundreds of local conservatives.


Protesters "follow me everywhere," shrugged the sheriff, who's known for putting inmates in pink underwear and tent cities, leading a volunteer civilian posse, conducting controversial immigration sweeps and, most recently, supporting a new Arizona law that makes it a state crime to be in the country without legal papers.
