Roits In L.a. This Afternoon?

[UNT90]

I'm thinking the chances are about 50/50 this will happen.

Reason for riot? None in particular, just mob mentality and the need for a new flat screen.

What are you trying to say here?

I saw 3 short buses filled with boy scouts heading west yesterday

[CMJ]

I sincerely doubt it.

What are you trying to say here?

That large groups of people at an overly emotional event, especially in L.A., tend to riot.

[MDH]

Ra Ra Riot? Teenage Riot?

[Rudy]

Well if there was one, it was a Quiet Riot...Rock me.

I do have some questions about the memorial service.

1. Why close off the entire freeway in one of, if not the, worst traffic city in the nation? You have a huge police force, clear the road ahead of them, but you dont need to close the freeway. They dont even do that for the president.

2. Who was driving the hearse, Stevie Wonder? I think they set the record for number of lane changes on a CLOSED freeway.

3. For an entertainer who crossed racial and cultural lines, they sure didnt represent that in the performers, at least not when I was watching.

4. Magic Johnson, you are one of my all time favs, but Michael Jackson did not make it posible for kids to wear your uniform.

5. Kobe? Really? Im sure you two were lifelong friends.

6. I know it's LA, but do you really need to pose for pictures outside the service? You're not on the red carpet and there is no Joan Rivers.

7. Jackson or Shaprton? They both suck!

8. Don't parade those little kids around, they are already traumatized enough.

Was Michael Jackson the savior? Did the world crucify this man? Did we not recognize who he was? Certainly this individual was greater than Jesus Christ.

And how about that moron Al Sharpton using those poor children to chastise the world for seeing Jackson as a weirdo or one strange dude. What did he say? Something like, you're daddy wasn't strange but that it was strange how the world treated him?

Hell, I watched over the years as this guy mutilated his face, bleached his skin, hung a baby over a railing several stories up, admitted sleeping with children and on and on.

No children, your daddy wasn't strange. He isn't even your daddy.

Hypothetical: Would the crucifixion have sold out the Staples Center?

It sounds like most of you didn't care much for Jackson, yet you spent 2+ hours watching his memorial. I'm confused.

Didn't watch it, didn't care, makes me a little nauseous, but was wondering if there actually were riots.

Only if Jesus's daughter, who really wasn't Jesus's daughter, got up on stage and talked about how she missed her...dad? (Interesting neither male child took the stage...)

And, if she could talk about her grand dad's blueray release, that would surely bump attendance up another 5K.

I'm a few years removed from Seminary, but I am fairly certain that there is no way God is on board with BluRay.
