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.

Yes , their concern is fake

Could it be due to the fact that all of them are fake ?

This entire mess will be a gun grab. They will be cheering each other on and actually think we are behind them being the complete fools they are

A number of years ago, “The Untouchables” was on in my locale (our version of the History Channel, IIRC). Was neat to watch some of the guest stars on, including Telly Savalas and before he adopted his shaved head look (he was already thinning by about 1959 or thereabouts when that particular episode was made). That’s one title among others that I’d like to see more often on the nostalgia channels as opposed to the others that seem to be shown all the time, to the point that it is annoying.

And to prove they are serious, no movies that involve guns will be eligible for an Oscar.

We also used to watch reruns of “Untouchables.” Great music, and effective in black and white.

Has HollyWierd stopped using guns as props to sell their wares?

Has HollyWeird acknowledged that they are the NRA for illegal gun owners?

Ruckman married three times, the first two marriages ending in divorce.[7] He had five children with his wife Janie Bess May.[8] His son, P.S. Ruckman Jr., was a nationally renowned political expert who taught as a professor at Rock Valley College in Rockford, Illinois and as an instructor at Northern Illinois University in Dekalb, Illinois until his death in March 2018.[9]

They’re all the product of generations of intellectual inbreeding.

That's a great line that sums up liberalism.

Since Nicole is to be in guns, I don’t understand why the courts and everyone has a push them to proposing a constitutional amendment, which is the only legitimate way that they can be in guns. Let them try to get 37 states or whatever it’s required to approve a constitutional amendment change. Until then they just need to get used to the fact that some of us like to have our guns. And, some of us can afford hundreds of paid security, nor do we want to wait 8 to 10 minutes for the police to respond if we are in need of assistance.

Tell them to use their great movie-honed self-defense chops to kick guns out of bad guy hands.

They should get NO professional or armed defense on any level. Let them fend for themselves alone and unarmed, as they would have all ordinary citizens do....

The Untouchables were Treasury, right? When did the FIB appropriate their reputation?

(And are you aware that Frank Nitti was the godlessfather of Rules for Radicals?)

Telly’s episode sounds like the “Matt Bass Scheme” to pump booze into Chicago via a covert pipeline with the help of Milton Selzer.

I like the Quinn Martin shows since they introduced the guest stars.

Most of the DVDs are around here.
