SANTA MONICA Santa Monica police say about 2000 people have been evacuated from the Santa Monica Place mall after a report of a suspicious package.
Lieutenant Frank Fabrega says the unidentified package was found in the Robinsons-May department store in the mall at about 4:30 pm.Monday.
Fabrega says a bomb squad was called to investigate.
Some streets in the area were closed to traffic.
Testing the defenses.
Defenses? I don't think the lefties in CA are even aware that we are war...
I'm evacuating the TV room due to Gary Buseys' appearance on Leno.
Woof.....
Thanks Karl. Is this going to be another all nighter or has the all clear been given?
Santa Monica would NEVER be threatened, that is the area that keeps sending Mr. Fonda I (tom hayden) to the california government.
If they were, they would be furious. At America.
this was around 5pm I believe....I havent heard anything since....I cant get Santa Monica on the scanner...so I dont know.
10 blocks from where I live. Thanks to FR I know what the helicopters are about.
ON THE NET...

Heard anything further? Went to ABC and they're playing a Sandra Bullock movie!?
are they BLACK helicopters? ;")
tell us the dirt!
It's Bush's fault. Karl Rove probably left that package as part of his campaign of dirty tricks!
Thanks Karl. Please let us know any updates.
This would give credence to the idea that it was an organized attempt at terror.
Thanks anyway.
Hey, can't we get you a more powerful radio? You always have the good stuff.
Thank YOU for the ping!
There was an evacuation at Sunset/Vermont Red Line Station this morning...
Thanks, as always, for keeping an ear on things Karl.
Ha... The problem is I am too far from Santa Monica and they are digital. If something really happened I am sure KCAL would have had it on.
