Current Los Angeles Protests Turning Ugly (Thursday night)

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.

Help is on the way.

[Joee]

This kind of personnel losses don't bother me one iota. In fact the "culling" keeps the blood line positive in that we eradicate the idiots.

[Little Bill]

You have that right.

I wish this government would activate the law on the books against this and throw some of these anarchists in the pokey. That would stop this yesterday! I heard the law read today on a local talk show by an attorney. I can't recall the name of it, but it starts with an S, and I am sure some freepers know what I mean.

I was monitoring that thread. Why were the cops letting the peace rioters run rampant with no pursuit at all??

[Antoninus]

Violent peace protesters? Impossible!

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

No good can come from this....

[Slings and Arrows]

Don't count on it...a protester in SF has commited suicide.

The logical culmination of an egomania bordering on solipsism. Ayn Rand had these types pegged 50 years ago.

[RightWhale]

They should be charged with sedition

They should be arrested and the book thrown at them if they don't stop immediately. It's their call, they don't have to do this. It's very dangerous, both to them, which is of no concern, and to the country. Like I said, I don't wish them any harm. To continue my thought to the next step: if they persist they will reap their reward and it won't be what they have in mind.

Oh, this is LA County Sheriff I'm hearing.

Ah, that explains it.

Madrano is indeed a lawyer.......during his live report he couldn't say often enough how the protesters were "peaceful" and that law enforcement, without warning, started to "violently" push the crowd back.......

the fact they (the morons) were told to get out of the street and instead, laid down in it, seemed to have slipped his mind.

somebody drop a MOAB on those hippie pinko freaks

...a protestor in SF has commited suicide.

Sounds like a good start and a fine example for the other protestors...

[Cvengr]

Last I heard, they pulled in a motorcycle unit to clear the crowd back as she was laying down, holding her mike to her chest,...as they began to remove her she started shouting in the megaphone and then started beating them with it,..at that point the other press were asked to move back or face arrest and they were too happy to comply and left the officers to handle her resisting arrest. All media stpped covering her then, but plenty of radio commentary laughing about things one SHOULDN'T do to avoid violence, such as attempting to bludgeon riot police by extremist reporters.

There's your 'peaceful' protest by the liberal NPR press.

[hole_n_one]

lol!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

ROTFL

[PeoplesRep_of_LA]

How can we make sure of this.

I mean, I know tying up traffic is going to make alot of people very angry, but if they are stuck listening to NPR they might think these are heros...oh never mind, you're right.

In any case, I'm in LA, is there any plans for going to Westwood and doing something? After seeing it on TV I'm plenty motivated, but I wouldn't want to disturb the cops.

[CyberCowboy777]

Sh!t I know I'd get in trouble

but man I want to go down there

If we had a terrorist attack these prime specimens of inbred corpophagic pond scum would be cheering & dancing for joy as would several Democrat party leaders.
