Anarchist riot in Long Beach? A vendor at 2000 Dirty Squatters show. Rodney King riots? Subhumans were set to play that night and I was there too. Lakers riot 2000? At Working World Magazine were had a giant print of that photo of a burnt red WW kiosk that had managed to find its way into the front windshield of an LAPD cruiser at the infant Staples Center. DNC2K? I have long since cashed the cheque that the Lawyers' Guild sent me in Brooklyn for my L.A. bruises. And last Sunday? I nearly rode into the middle of it the minute it started, aboard the #4 line.<br /> <br />And lastly, I was aboard the Red Line last Wednesday morning at approximately 0720 hours, wondering if I were in a dream as I gazed at all the purple-shirted yahoos what were directed to disembark at 7th/Metro. Anyone aboard any of those morning trains for the first (or only) time might recall the special message that the train operator afforded them as we pulled into the station.<br /><br />Perhaps if people had the backbone to stop their few stupid friends from doing truly stupid things, there would be far less reason to wait on the idiot sheriff's deputies to eventually arrive, as well as perhaps shrink their ranks owing to a renewed responsibility that has for far too long been absent among americans of EVERY heritage.<br />In the end, and in any case, I find organised sports rather stupid—unless I am the one participating and getting ridiculously well paid (and carted comfortably away afterward, while fools rule the roadway and wreck that which is certainly not my concern)—and the majority of the fans sheep awaiting fleecing. <br /><br />That said, I still think MA's blog ain't bad, and that Anon in remark #1 is a schmuck as well as a coward. Show some backbone, you anonymous ass; if not, shut up.BusTardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984672872407701918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045235436087182302.post-17771390933982474962009-06-17T18:29:51.935-07:002009-06-17T18:29:51.935-07:00I went to the Coliseum. I did the right thing, too...I went to the Coliseum. I did the right thing, took pubic Transpo (Metro 754) -- I was there for three hours waiting, chatting with random people, only after the smush at Gate 4 to get denied cos my non-telephoto camera looked too big to the tiny little security Nazi. <br /><br />So I cruised the area for a while before the parade. Gotta say, I didn't see any knuckleheads -- lot of happy people, including lots of families. <br /><br />It was cool.Mick O/Redfishingboathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12825093793851041068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045235436087182302.post-41629515656641266892009-06-17T17:16:20.974-07:002009-06-17T17:16:20.974-07:00Anonymous: LOL!
