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.

Thanks

KABC TV is showing good quality video of tanks rolling in.

Congratulations to the SF protestor that committed suicide.

The rest of them are pieces of dog clinton, and should, like lemmings, walk off the end of the pier.

throw some of these anarchists in the pokey

Amazing how many don't know what that word [anarchist] means. Been using it for quite a while. We'll probably all know the word before this is done.

Maybe we just document the portions of their behavior that is abhorrant to Muslims, indoctrinate the prisoners in Gitmo of their behavior, then relocate the Gitmo prisoners with proviso they commit no atrocities and move them into the neighborhoods next to the protestors under witness relocation programs and let the protestors live with their new found 'buddies'.

I'd give'em 4 weeks brfore adjustment occurs.

IN IRAQ! Sheesh.......at first I thought you meant HERE! (although...............)

[lainie]

Scanner: LAPD air unit just said people are pulling slingshots out of their bags; "might want to lower your shields and stand by"

Re: i pray for more dead hippies
May as well. I don't suppose they stink any worse than the live ones.

You ever try to field clean one of them suckers? Whew!

[CrimeOf73]

Bringing weapons to a peace protest?

[lainie]

Oh, sorry, yes, in Iraq. No tanks in LA yet, but the night is still young.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Yeah, he got my hopes up, too...

[P.O.E.]

Turning ugly? You mean Michael Jackson & Babs have shown up?

Ah yes, the wacked out "peace" crowd allowing themselves to be manipulated again by those who are the real threats to their freedom of expression.

[Mears]

As the mother of a police officer I agree,what a waste of police resources.

Protesting in a non disruptive way is one thing,but these folks are idiots.They should be

Orders just went out: "Heads up, face shields down"

They're moving through the crowd now, trying to find what they can find.

[Lancey Howard]

"I am protesting the war by breaking this window and running off with a TV!"

[MinuteGal]

I a copbot, and I know they just follow orders from on top, but they've got to learn to nip these street protestors in the bud as soon as things start getting out of hand.

I'll bet everyone reading this who's been on a street freep knows that the minute we step one foot off the curb, the cops are all over us like white on rice. So, we don't do it.

This rule doesn't seem to apply to the antis.

[lainie]

Yeah and they brought Liz Taylor with 'em.

[kaboom]

Sick, Sick, Sick,...can't stop laughing.
