While scores were being arrested in Phoenix today, ten were arrested in Los Angeles. The number may not be impressive, but the ridiculous reaction by the city is noteworthy. It was about what one would expect from a sanctuary city under the inept leadership of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
At ten in the morning, a crowd of anti-Arizona mopes showed up at the corner of Wilshire and Highland in mid-town LA. Ten of them handcuffed and chained themselves to each other with metal piping covering their arms. They then proceeded to lie down in a circle in the middle of the intersection and remained there for five hours.
LAPD, apparently under orders from Mayor Tony, didn't even respond for about three hours. It took a special unit to cut through the pipes, separate the mopes and take them away.
For five hours, a major intersection in LA was blocked. Why? It is simple. It was because they were demonstrating for a cause the mayor and the city agree with. As for the LA drivers and residents inconvenienced in a city already with intolerable living conditions, well, they can eat cake, I guess.
