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.

Is Hogg presenting?


 

Hey students!
 
 

Do you realize there would be about 743 MORE of you in that school if CHOICE hadn't killed them while you were allowed to be born?


It is sad you lost 17 of your classmates that fateful day.

But have you considered that about 3,300 future American students were KILLED that same day?


Have you stopped to consider why YOUR lives matter more than the unborn?

Apparently, The Shape of Water is a blatant ripoff of a Paul Zindel play called Let Me Hear You Whisper. I foresee court actions .

Nah. He’ll probably kill himself when his 15 minutes of fame are up.

He’s more akin to a hyena in my opinion.

If you look at the pictures of David Hogg on his media tour, and then look at the David Hogg who is 27 and arrested for drug possession in South Carolina, you can come to your own conclusion. I think they really look like the same person in every detail.

All the evidence supporting his being a 16 year old student is based on social media posts. We know how that can be doctored and recreated. We also know how desperate the lefties are to have their spokesman “for the children”. Social media has already been shown to be a leftist tool.

Look and see your yourself.

Why should anyone need to buy a gun for protection? That is what armed body guards are for.

These people are in such a bubble that they think we won’t notice this rank hypocrisy or, if we do notice, will ignore it because they are so much better than us.

Keep up the stupidity, out-of-town Hollywood Leftist a$$holes - we couldn’t script it any better.

Why is the LA police department wasting so many resources on the Oscars? Not exactly a political target for terrorists.

Good question. It’s astounding how these people are given such special treatment.

Yes, I can just imagine how politicized the LAPA must be. More important to protect some self important assholes than protect the streets from MS-13.

At least they should disclose the insurance and legal consequences of so much MDP. And I do think car chases lead to reckless driving.
