Current Los Angeles Protests Turning Ugly (Thursday night)
FR | March 20, 2003 | self

Posted on 03/20/2003 7:04:50 PM PST by lainie

Gathered information from KFI radio, local television, and police scanner:

The idiots at the corner of Wilshire & Veteran are growing in number, cops are starting to fight back (hear a lot of "double time" and "need it yesterday"), and reports are that the crowd is starting to burn flags.

Before its newscast ended, KABC-TV showed riot-geared police pushing folks out of streets and onto sidewalks. The poor reporter was obviously shaken and quake-voiced. Looked ugly and sounds like it's getting worse as of 19:02.

I sortof liked hearing about the NPR 90lb female reporter hitting the officers with her megaphone and their immediate action to control her behavior.

These kooks are alienating 99.9% of the American population.

As far as I'm concerned, let the left commit suicide!!

I thought LAPD went digital......

My 200 channel scanner from Radio Shack will no longer pick up LAPD frequencies.

"I don't wish them any harm." - I wish them plenty of harm - they're not anti-war, they're anti-American (they were'nt out in the streets protesting the socialist when they were in power in the 90s engaged in wars). They should be charged with sedition when they cross the line from protest/free speach to disturbance, especially under code orange terror alert - not slap on the wrist, but felonies carrying at least 1-2 years in prison with hefty fines.
