A band of robbers that tore through Hollywood Boulevard on Tuesday night appear to be some of the same youths who were attacking people and vandalizing stores in the Crenshaw district earlier this week where demonstrators were protesting the George Zimmerman murder trial verdict, police said.
The thieves moved fast and swarmed their victims, mirroring the activity seen in Crenshaw the previous evening.
“I think this specific group came up to riot and cause problems in Hollywood,” LAPD Sgt. John Barkley said. "They were not engaging in any kind of protest."
Of the dozen people arrested in the indiscriminate crime spree, most of the suspects came from South L.A. or Compton and used the subway to get there, he said. Many involved in the robberies remain at large.The group exited at the Hollywood and Vine station, he said. KTLA reported some of the suspects were caught trying to get back on the train after the robberies. Up to 50 people were involved in the crime spree, officials said.
Security camera footage obtained by L.A. Weekly shows a wave of youths running down the Hollywood Walk of Fame with tourists trying to avoid the stampede. Public information officer Rosario Herrera said at least one of the attacks was near the Hollywood and Highland retail complex. . .

It seems with some people, any excuse will do. Just saying.
I’ll place my bet on The Sunset Strip being next. I doubt West Hollywood—too many gay muscle men around there. Thou the subway has a stop at Universal City Walk. Oh there are just too many decisions when you are protesting for justice.
I rode the L.A. subway last year. The people checking the passengers for fares were L.A. County Sheriffs Deputies in full body armor.
LAPD Sgt. John Barkley said. “They were not engaging in any kind of protest.”

Thankfully we closed on our house yesterday (and are leasing back 2 of the buildings for a month until we take possession of our new home in FL next month). I hope the new owners have their property insurance in place, since we cancelled ours today.
No black people ANYWHERE NEAR THIS RIOT!
The current climate of racial unrest may spur more and more flashmob situations (anywhere).
Some real solid work by the “Po-Po” out there.
(As “nu skool” would say)
