Police State Tactics: Martial Law in Los Angeles!

LOS ANGELES, Kalifornia - September 14, 2008 - In my life I have never seen anything like this! My niece got married today. The wedding festivities ended at midnight. On my way home on the opposite side of the #60 freeway going into Downtown Los Angeles, I see very large trucks with flashing lights - about 25 to 30 - lined up to form a single-file line for cars to follow to be stopped by at least 2 dozen police! This is on a 5-lane freeway, mind you!

Thousands of cars and thousands of unsuspecting people are experiencing for the first time in their lives, the full impact of what a police state is all about this morning, folks! The freeway looks like a parking lot!

As I transitioned to the northbound Golden State Frwy, aka the #5 Freeway, which starts at the Canadian border and runs through Washington State, through Oregon and all the way through California to the Mexican border, just before I get to downtown L. A. on my side of the freeway I see the same thing in the distance; lots of trucks w/flashing lights and tons of cars stopping ahead of me to be herded to the checkpoint.

So, I quickly and fortunately got off at the very next offramp and tried to get on, again, further up the road. However, there were several arrows on the streets for people to follow - seemingly to take you on a detour to another on ramp - but no; they only led to more checkpoints!

Because I know my city like the back of my hand, I managed to evade the checkpoints by going through neighborhood streets until I could finally get back onto the freeway some distance beyond the checkpoint. I live in Burbank and I couldn’t get onto the northbound Golden State Freeway until I passed Griffith Park which is about 3 to 4 miles beyond where the checkpoint started on the freeway on my side (about 6 to 7 miles from where I first noticed the checkpoint on the opposite side of the freeway!)

Every single one of those 3 to 4 miles on my side had cars w/mulitple passengers in them and the cars were at a complete stop waiting for their turn to be chuted in like cattle to be asked for their papers and questioned by the cops. There were at least 3 ,000 to 4,000, and maybe even 5,000 cars, approximately, on both sides of the checkpoints waiting to get through. Unbelievable!!

Never before in my 61 years have I ever seen anything like this!!

I saw at least 25 tow trucks pulling vehicles away from the checkpoint areas. I’m very much in shock and very fortunate to know my way around my city to have avoided what is still occurring. I had such a wonderful day only to be knocked back to the ugly reality of what is happening to us in our country… Martial Law! IT’S SCARY OUT THERE!!
