LOS ANGELES Los Angeles police have set up a special command center following a series of deadly explosions in London today.

Police dispatcher Anthony Rivers says officials are meeting to discuss whether to step up security locally.

He says he doesn't know whether officials will upgrade the city's security alert level at this point.

Are you excluding the shooting attack at LAX and planned bombing of LAX?

>>>No offense to any Freepers in LA or California, but I find it hard to believe that Al-Queda would target any area (Hollywood especially) of the country where sympathy for their cause is so strong.

Where do you people get this stuff?

I said up front that I meant no offense. But I'm entitled to my opinion.

The reason for attacking NYC was financial. For the Pentagon was military. Both were psychological.

The reason they will attack the West Coast will be ???

You left out the last part of my post. It was, "Not yet."

California and the rest of the west coast's time will come if we don't change our strategy.

Look, your first comment was without logic.

I'll explain it to you. Los Angeles is the financial capital of the western United States. Lots of financial intuitions there.

Not to mention it's where America's biggest port is located.

Need I say more?

That being said, I still feel the eastern cities are much more vulnerable due to they're massive subway systems.

They just make easy targets, and can cause massive death and economic chaos with relatively simple explosives.

Right now there is a lot of support (or at least apathy) on the Left Coast for appeasement.

IMO, they will hit out there, but it's too soon, strategically speaking.

It's better for the enemy if the country isn't united. And we aren't.

I know. But it's too soon, IMHO. The enemy is patient. They will hit the West Coast. "Not yet!"But eventually.

I was trying to imply they had the elevated code painted on their backs.

If you see anything specifically unusual, please be sure to report it to the police.

I see millions of illegal aliens living in a sanctuary city, but it doesn't do me any good to report that

Don't hold back, tell me, why is it too soon for a strike on the west coast? And since you appear to know their strategy, and reasons for timing, what will their target be?

I dont think blowing up a Red Line full of illegals furthers their cause...we can replace them with a Tijauna Fast Pass.

If you're picking for a fight, you won't get one.

Please read my post again. I already answered your question.
