Triangulating the supposed past of Mayor Antonio Ramon Villar through recent "MTA flip-outs"

We will file this following missive under speculation, speculation that is based upon observations of many within the tight-knit Latino activist community. But in light of yesterday's MTA Board Meeting confrontation between LA County Supervisor Mike Antonovich and Mayor Antonio Villar over the Supervisor's usage of the term "gang rape" to describe past and potential future usage of transit tax money. Is it fair to ask why the mayor "flipped out" (LA Weekly's description) when Supervisor Antonovich uttered the explicted two words?   

It would be so easy to explain away the mayor's historical thin-skiness to his time sensitive pursuit of a political legacy that is not predicated on past covers of Los Angeles Magazine. Just recently, according to the LA Weekly, Mayor Villar had his first "MTA Flipout/Walkout Episode" when Hollywood longtime MTA observer John Walsh "ranted" about extramarital affairs at a recent meeting. Thus, is it safe to say that discussions of sexual metaphors triggers some latent past life episodes within the "Inner Tony"? 

The Mayor Sam Blog since its inception has seen many comments about the alleged past of the former City Terrace resident. From his former school days as a child at the Santa Teresita Parish, through his mom's second marriage, with stops at Roosevelt High School, UCLA, Sacramento, Cadiz , a blink in CD 14 and his current waning time on the Third Floor, tales of Villar's past have been fodder for the "cut and paste cyber gallery". But one story stands out in wake of yeasterday's "flip-out".  

According to a well-known and respected source, during the 2001 Mayoral Campaign, then candidate for mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was confronted by a family member of a young lady from a high school pictured above. What allegedly took place in the youth of Tony Villar involving a Lincoln Heights Sacred Heart student has been the subject of speculation (and comments here at Mayor Sam) for decades. But many in the activist community strongly believe that something did happen. (** as noted in the comments posted after the jump). It should be noted that the likes of Journalist Tony Castro have debunked the myths crafted by the likes of Consultant Parke Skelton of Antonio's past, which included his mother's second marriage and father's decades of well-being. But as witness with yesterday's flip-out, certains words are sometime the key to a painful flashback, which only a certain Antonio Ramon Villar can elaborate on if true.

Tony political operative is sent by Parke Skelton to disrupt a Hahn press conference, and you ask for an apology? How stupid can you get?

But let's see who else wants an apology, this time from Tony:

-That girl from Sacred Heart that Tony got pregnant, she wants an apology for ruining her life and setting her family on the run to Fresno - you know one day that kid, must be about 33 now, will come looking for you.

-Maria Elena Durazo for not marrying her and passing her off to Miguel Contreras.

-June from the Venice Room, she still has that scar you gave her.

-Father John Morretta of Resurrection Parish, for flat out lying to him, maybe you can go to him for confession, you are, after all, a reformed Catholic!

-The Mothers of East L.A. for lying about them and destroying their scholarship program, have you given any schoalrships away?

-The residents of the 14th District not for lying to them but for your insistance that they released you from your promise.

-Your daughter Priscilla, for leaving that bruise that prompted a child abuse case to be filed against you.

-That guy from La Fonda, I'm sure he still has a scar from when you stabbed him.

-Your wife for, well, just being you.

-Martha Reyna for, well, just being you.

-Your son, Tonito, for all the times that you abandoned him at those South Pasadena baseball fields, how many times did he have to walk over to Jesus Quinonez' house waiting for you to pick him up while you were out there being a man!

-Bob Hertzberg, for either making a pass at him or setting him up with one of your sluts, and you wonder why Cynthia doesn't want him to endorse you.

-El Sereno residents for reviving the dead Long Beach Fwy extension and supporting the connector road.

-Parke Skelton and Steve Barkan, for not being honest with them and telling them about all those skeletons in your closet, you know more are coming - timing, timing, timing.

This list goes on and on.....

....... and this from a previous Mayor Sam post.

4. At age 15, Antonio volunteered for the first grape boycott initiated by civil rights leader Cesar Chavez. 
----At 15 he also fathered his first child when he knocked up that girl from Sacred Heart high school. After the girl's father took him to court to prove who was the father, Tony showed up with his friends to falsely testify that they had thrown a train on her - the father, shamed, gave up his business and moved the family to Fresno - the child was given up for adoption.
