I previously lived in Brentwood, next to Westwood. We’d have immigration rallies at the Westwood Federal Building. Cops would be there and buy hot dogs that cost a quarter, but would give 1$ or 5$ and tell us to keep the change. They loved us. Aliens would stand across the street and throw frozen soda cans at us. They had terrible aim throwing across several lanes of Wilshire Blvd.
Back in the 1990s and early 2000s I went to a couple of Freep events at the federal building. I also went to the counter protest to the “million mom march” when California wanted to create a gun owners registry on that other side of wilshire.
