In reply to the discussion: Mass Arrests Underway On 3rd Night Of Protest Across LA In Michael Brown Case [View all]KingCharlemagne
(7,908 posts)18. The only reason my wife and I were not among them last night is that my wife
is now partially disabled and unable to walk long distances. These protesters had started out, I believe, at the Federal Buidling at 3rd and Spring and had walked a long way by the time they got arrested.
I was trying to watch local media (KCAL9) and keep from vomiting as they fellated the LAPD and CHP and insinuated the protesters were 'stealing public resources.'
