By all accounts there were peaceful protests across the nation yesterday. Then cops rolled throw shooting pellets and tear gassing and everything escalated.

By accounts he meant twitter accounts. If someone says it online it must be true because no one on twitter has an agenda.

Well said.

Throw shooting pellets are dangerous. Especially rolling ones.

My neighborhood is still standing.  But all the businesses were burned down.  So back to quarantine forever.

Sorry to hear that.

Totally unnecessary.

Where do you live?

Turn on MSNBC and watch the chick doing sign language.

She's awesome.

Between Koreatown and Mid Wilshire.  Actually haven't gone out to see the damage.  But if the drive home last night was any indication.  Plus I smell smoke in the air, and that's never a good sign.

TP fort is down.  It's just a wall now.  

[gotbeer]

Sounds like the helicopters are back up in the distance.  Not as many sirens though.

Definitely possible a few cats were burned in the fires.

Just saw a news feed from channel 4 and looks like Melrose and Fairfax was where most of it happened.  So close, but not too close.  Going by major east west streets from where I live, Highland (Which is what I took last night), La Brea, Fairfax.  And North South, Wilshire, 3rd, Beverly, Melrose.  I can say that when I passed Melrose last night on Highland, you could tell there was a lot of activity up Melrose.  And this was at 8:45 pm.  

Also last night on Highland, noticed there were a lot of people wandering the streets.  And these weren't groups, but single/pair/trios.  When I was on Sunset going to the closed In N Out, I did notice people were moving with a purpose on the streets.  They were moving like they wanted to get out of dodge, than a rioter.

I know, I regret not stopping by one on the freeway.  But you know, something something something fries getting cold.
