Oscars: Celebrities Push Gun Control Surrounded by a Wall of 500 Armed Officers
Breitbart ^ | March 4, 2018 | Jerome Hudson

Posted on 03/04/2018 3:07:12 PM PST by EdnaMode

The Los Angeles Police Department will deploy 500 officers to wrap the Dolby Theatre in multiple barriers of armed security for the 90th Academy Awards on Sunday night, an event at which several of Hollywood’s most celebrated stars will actively push for more gun control in America. “We have these concentric rings of security that start in the middle and radiate outward,” said LAPD Cmdr. Blake Chow, the man tasked with overseeing the massive operation. “We have a lot of officers in fixed posts and foot beats keeping an eye on the event.”

Several celebrities plan to wear orange lapel pins on the red carpet and during tonight’s ceremony in support of gun control and the Michael Bloomberg-founded gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety.

Indeed, there will be road closures to prevent people breaching a security perimeter made up of a wall of ten-foot gates and barricades, FBI agents, and firefighters. Police helicopters will be buzzing above and private security guards from Security Industry Specialists will be inside the Dolby Theater.

What? The Oscars aren't going to be a open to the general public and a gun free zone? How can that be?

The Surgeon General’s Report concluded that exposure to onscreen smoking in movies causes young people to start smoking.

Yet Hollywood has no issues depicting gun violence on screen.

Yes , their concern is fake.

It would be interesting if the cops did a “sick in” and just didn’t show up. I bet the starlets would be sweating blood. They could just tell them to call 911 if anything comes up.

Wouldn't surprise me if Hogg was presenting.

btw, Prof. Peter Ruckman, who frequently appeared on MSNBC, shot his two teenage sons dead and then killed himself. I haven't found out his stand on gun control.

I totally support a ban or at least full disclosure on movies (tv and big screen) featuring gun violence
Movie body counts should be posted in advertising so consumers can be aware
Do I get an orange lapel pin?

They’re all the product of generations of intellectual inbreeding.

Scott Israel’s amazing leadership skills are being wasted in South Florida. He needs to move to Hollywood. He could be a sheriff, an action movie hero, a motivational speaker, and the new MGM lion!

Pffft..This guy will be forgotten in a month. Once the media is finished using him up he's toast.

Just another useful idiot.
