Normally I would do a next day update, but nothing on that in my Globe today.
Staying with the theme, though:
"Young people rampage in Hollywood" AP, July 18, 2013
I'm not trying to be jokey or funny here; however, after all the literally scripted and staged productions we have seen on television over the last decade-plus, from questions about 9/11 TV footage to the Sandy Hook psyop, to Marathon crisis drills gone live, to the faking of the Fourth of July fireworks, how do we know this wasn't some staged and scripted bs or even filming of a movie?
The sad fact, folks, is YOU CAN NO LONGER TRUST WHAT YOU SEE on your TV or in your AmeriKan newspaper.
LOS ANGELES — Packs of young people rampaged through Hollywood, knocked people down, and stole cellphones and other items before a police sweep halted the marauding and arrested a dozen people, police said Wednesday.
Calls began coming in at around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday that youths — possibly organized through social media — were robbing people and stealing T-shirts and other goods from businesses, mainly on Hollywood Boulevard, Lieutenant Ray Valois said.
Uh-oh, kids! Going to have to shut down that social spy media on you! Who benefits, 'eh?
Fifteen to 20 young men and women were ‘‘attacking victims and taking property,’’ he said.
No serious injuries were reported.
As many as 40 people may have been involved, splitting into smaller groups and reforming as they looted people nearby, Valois said.
Surveillance video aired on television showed youths roaming along the famed Hollywood Walk of Fame.
That doesn't mean as much as it used to.
The Police Department had redeployed numerous officers to the city’s Crenshaw District after violence broke out the previous night during protests of the George Zimmerman acquittal in Florida.
Oh, my God, they are still beating that dead horse and tying it to this. Whatta stink.
At least we know who is funding these things.
Commander Andrew Smith said it was believed the youths took advantage of that ‘‘and decided that this would be a good night to come up to Hollywood and act a little crazy.’’
Yeah, no big deal(!!!). Peaceful Occupy gets their skulls rapped and mace sprayed in their face, but the kids going crazy down Hollywood Boulevard? Aaaah!

That item was found on page B12 in the middle-right side of the paper. I almost missed making a note of it. I don;'t like to stereotype by name, but he looks like he could be a dark-skinned person. I could be wrong, but you can go see for yourself. Of course, after reading it you almost think he deserved to be shot anyway.
Let the protest begin on that one, huh?
"More than 100 law enforcement officers responded Tuesday to the scene on Old Colony Avenue, according to a police report. Around 1 p.m. Tuesday, Louis-Jeune allegedly fired several shots at two uniformed officers at the Mary Ellen McCormack housing development on Old Colony Avenue, Boston police said. The officers approached Louis-Jeune as part of a drug investigation and chased him when he fled, police said. Louis-Jeune ran to the front of a building in the housing development, then turned and fired several shots at the officers, police said. The officers fired back, and one of the officers shot Louis-Jeune in the chest. Authorities said Louis-Jeune is expected to survive his wounds. Officers also found 24 plastic baggies, each containing a “white, rocklike substance believed to be crack cocaine” and 31 white tablets of an unidentified medication, Wark said."
They needed to send over 100 cops for a five-second shooting? And we are up to several shots now, huh?
