LA School police was monitoring a group of middle schoolers in Westchester that appeared to be marching to LAX. LAXPD and School Police were meeting to determine what to do when the students turned and are now being ESCORTED BY SCHOOL POLICE to Univision Television studios off the 405 in Culver City for TELEVISION INTERVIEWS!
Boy, we have some pretty media savvy middle schoolers in this city!
Time for the DoJ to use R.I.C.O. statutes to shut down and arrest these organized criminal conspiracies to incite riots.
The FCC needs to immediately yank the licenses for any radio or TV station that they can show that used public air waves to incite riots or other illegal actions. Suspected stations should have their recent broadcast archive tapes impounded and reviewed by FCC auditors to determine if they violated FCC policy and/or Federal/State/Local laws.
Media coverage and security camera tapes should also be impounded to be used to identify individuals committing illegal acts, with a priority on those leading the illegal activities (especially known criminals.)
Those that stopped traffic on the Interstate highways should be prosecuted for interfering with interstate commerce and law enforcement.
If any ambulances arrived to any hospital in a 5 mile radius of these illegal assemblies with a patient that died in route to the hospital, then those who lead and/or organized these illegal assemblies should be prosecuted for murder.
Come down hard on these people now or we will end up like France writ large.
Meanwhile, this indicator fortells a shaky future for social and political stability in the US:
someone died in Santa Ana....although it appears it was a protester hitting some other illegal riding the wrong way in the street.
oh wow....is it driveable?
Exactly. This is an excuse to miss school and get attention. As my Dad would say...."Hooray, it's SPANKIN' Day!"
I don't know...but I am pretty sure it is.
The tow company has it. The insurance co. now takes possession to check it out.
When/if, I get it back, I get to (claps hands in glee) contact DMV! and get new plates!
Then a sharp slap on the back for the parents who ain't.
PING TO 45
You can order your new BRNPWR plates
Any further details of this would be much appreciated.

SAN DIEGO Bracing for a potential fourth day of student protests, school district and Police Department officials on Wednesday urged parents to tell their children to skip the walkouts and instead remain on campus.
About 2,000 San Diego students engaged in marches and demonstrations over proposed immigration reforms from about a dozen San Diego schools on Wednesday, an increase from around 1,200 on Tuesday, San Diego Police Assistant Chief Bill Maheu said.
Maheu warned that police may arrest more students if the protests continue. He said police have seen several instances of minor rock throwing and vandalism.
The adults are now using ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN?
Oh sure...
Local high school students walk out of classes

Students from several local high schools have left their campuses this morning, some carrying Mexican flags and wearing white T-shirts similar to the immigration bill protests occurring in California this week.
The Bakersfield Police Department is urging people to avoid central downtown Bakersfield as "numerous" protesters are heading toward the area of the 1400 block of Truxtun Avenue.
The protesters are causing heavy traffic congestion, officials said. They said theyre at the scene ensuring the demonstration is peaceful.
By about 11 a.m., some 2,000 students gathered in front of the Kern County Courts and Administration Building. Several spoke on loudspeakers. One waved an upside down American flag, a sign of distress.
That student was Marco Flores, 18, of Centenniel High School, who explained the upside down American flag symbolized that much of the American economy is based on immigrant labor and if immigrants are forced to leave, the country's economy will be turned upside down.
He also said that the demonstration started out with e-mails and fliers at Bakersfield High School, which grew by students text messaging each other and reading about it on MySpace.com.
Karina Ayson, 22, of Delano, was also in front of the courthouse, having joined the protest because she was at court anyway. She said Latino immigrants are the major force in the agricultural fields and it would hurt the country to declare them criminals or force them to leave the country.
About 800 to 1,000 students from Arvin High School were marching this morning from the school to a park in Lamont.
Students from Arvin were carrying Mexican flags and banners and some used loudspeakers to shout "Chicano Power."
Many of the students who marched from Arvin to Lamont could not say exactly what impact the immigration bills would have, but they could say who would be impacted their family, their friends and their parents. When the students arrived at the park in Lamont, parents had a barbecue lunch of hot dogs, chips and sodas waiting for them.
"Who do you see working in the fields? You see Mexicans, Hispanics. My parents work in the field," said Alma Martinez, 17, a senior at Arvin High.
Arvin High Sophomore Salvador Rivera, 15, was one of the students who walked miles from their school to a Lamont park.
"I have blisters on my blisters," Rivera said. But, he said, "I have a lot of family who this can affect."
Many of the Arvin students had fliers that explained the purpose of their protests.
One waved an upside down American flag, a sign of distress.
Keep pinging me if you will please, but I'm walking away for a bit. Too much wrong, tooooooooooo much.
No. It is their job to do what the command staff says to do. When Multiple hundred of kids are marching down the streets, would you rather they go without police "escorting" them? That word wasn't used by the police, I don't think.
Do police "escort" other marches? Or do they make sure they don't get out of hand with threat of force?
By the way. There are 300 officers on that department to about 700,000 students. So it would be impossible to round them all up anyway.
I had a border collie (no pun) that could round up 100 sheep back in 87. And he didn't have bullets either. :)

It may be a small percentage, but it's costing the city $$$s - outside of the police, loss of productivity, etc. for those sitting on the freeways in their cars, I heard on the radio that LA gets $28/day per student. If the students aren't in class, the city doesn't get the money. Yesterday or Monday cost them something like $1M. I also read that the Mayor was telling the officers to hand out truancy tickets. Haven't heard any more about that.
