VIDEO: San Juan Mayor Gets Noosed

It can be a tough job, being mayor.

It's a tradition every year: The sitting mayor of San Juan Capistrano gets noosed and saves his life by proclaiming February, March and April dedicated to the Fiesta de Las Golondrinas, which culminates with the Swallows Day Parade.

Usually, only those in the City Council chambers get in on the fun. But this year, you do, too. Watch Fiesta Association members wrap a noose around Mayor John Taylor's neck.
