Skateboard Riot in Hollywood As 500 Gather For Bake And Destroy Film: PHOTOS

Okay call me and out of touch, old, lame, yesteryear, wack, nerdo, square from delaware, and mummy swagged but I still say what the fuck is this bullshit. Nothing against skaters and their stuggles being hated on and oppressed by the MAN. And I realize it not a choice and they are born that way. And the media coverage of this was normal.......The results and responses or lack there of is is what blew me away. So lets see here. Bear with me. Remeber Im not cool ya'll. So a group of predominatly white young skaters, with a couple of token 'chocolate chips' to avoid an affirmative action claim on the gathering, that I can bet 80%+ of the mob was feeling the high of something and the other 20% were picked to make sure other get home, gather to start shit. ( Who other than critics, movie junkies, losers, anyone that was part of production, or people who were invited to screen really go to a film screening to just truly support a film for the relevance of their lifestyle? Did 500 soldiers mob Black Hawk Down's screening? What about gays and Brokeback Mountain? Fuck no and fuck screenings...) Yeah they punk asses had motive to give it ti the pigs!! They said nothing about the pigs harrassing or even approaching the crowd negetively. The few that was there get an old fashion Tea Party welcome while the scramble and call for back-up. Which indicates who started this so-called riot because it said the pigs had to leave some other bullshit that come handle this bullshit. The pigs wasnt even concerned about this to where a police presence at the event wasnt even scheduled like it would be if 50 black dancers gathered to support a documentary called 'Dance and Destroy'. The pigs woulve had hidden cameras inside, undercover agents with B2K shirts on talking '90's slang like [WHOOP THERE IT IS!], a tactical tent with a Starbucks and Krispy Kreme booth, a convoy of squad cars and horses, dope sniffing K-9's, 2 black negotiators that grew up in L.A. that can still 'Shake A Tailfeather' and 'Relate' to suspected trouble making dancers, and an arsenol that would make the cast on 'Matrix' bust a nut. Did these kids have that? Or did they have 5 rookies and troubled cops on probation, walk this beat just to catch some black skaters slipping and give them a ride to neighboring MacAuthur Park where they belong. So when the 'High on Oxi' skaters seen the 5 loser and unprovoking pigs they took advantage of this and proceeded as planed to start shit. They dug in their backpacks and fannie-packs and hailed bottles and rocks that they brought from elsewhere becuase as we all know there is no liquor store or alley or loose concrete or asphalt to supply these warriors in abundance and as quick. So much so the pigs ran. I know it wasnt any blacks there after for sure  becuse the backup pigs got a taste too and not even a pepper was sprayed or a bean bag shot or a sniper posted to take out to take out the nigg....I mean an impossible skater. Not a drop of blood drawn? Not a single grenade or casualty and violence was upon the L.A.P.D. all night. Nothing. So the pigs actually dont have to riddle the crowd with collateral casualties dead and beat the complying people or snipe anyone while being attacked at night and still can clean out the crowd? They dont get commission bonuses and promotions if they come back with kills to tally up after any L.A. mayhem to be dared labeled a riot? What??? Somebocdy is lying....This never happened. I dont believe it. Or the blacks scramed after the 1st rock was thrown due to intuition. Or whites really got it good ya'll 4real.......This aint no riot so call it something else like a misunderstanding.. 

Interesting that these people were throwing rocks at police, and no arrests nor use of pepper spray was mentioned. I guess the UC kids really are more of a threat to the system.

slapping cops upside the head with my board in front of the vine... i was camping in Sespe. sorry i missed out.

At the Egyptian Theatre , Recent Spanish Cinema

Checkin out the ghetto birds from the sky!

@ Marlena - 2AM?! Perhaps try balloon water bombs!

Good for you Steven. Seattle is FULL of little bitches like them.

With friends celebrating a birthday at The Hungry cat, we got caught up in it as we were leaving the restaurant.

at home reading the updates via twitter,personally I'm sick of these dudes flipping and slamming their boards near the bus stop at Hollywood/Argyle in front of the public, some older citizens and attendees of the Pantages too who are frightened by it, and on private property, and in front of my building at 2am, there needs to be something done like heavy fines, we should be rioting against their lack of respect

We were around the corner and had no idea that it was going on! Missed the whole thing.

Steven, you ain't gotta lie to kick it... lol

I was at halloween horror nights

Top of the paramount parking structure wondering what the heck is going on now?!

I'm not a fan of boarders. I like and approve the idea of boarding but 3 years in Seattle with aggressive, grunge decorated boarders...enough. I was attacked by a group of 12 once because I wouldn't move off of the downtown Seattle mall steps. I held my own, they fled.

rolls eyes..ill get back after more commentary....

Now if only everyone got this rowdy for important shit!

Getting off the Subway and walking into this riot like "WTF IS GOING ON?!" Honestly, I did not know skaters has such PASSION!

@troniks It played the Vine? Makes sense, I guess, but if it's still run by Jamshid, then the tale on that overexposed folly gets stranger.

not enough arrests ! such films encourage hooliganism and tagging. your tax dollars go to waste !

@LAWeekly Have you announced the ticket winners for the Trent Reznor & David Byrnes seminar tonight?

@theames I'm extremely proud of myself for nailing what they were lined up to see.

@dennisjromero re: skateboarders in Hollywood last night. Aren't there surveillance cameras that LAPD has access to? Were there any arrests?

raver riot was better

@theames that's crazy!!! glad you got outta there!

@TalkboyTV @laweekly @laweekly what happened to "SK8 to CRE8" ?? Maybe a word from Animal Chin will bring them under control @tonyhawk

@MaxBlumenthal ... to a douchebucket RHCP soundtrack.

@DJGinaStar I was right in the middle of it...fun! :/

@BellaLeslie glad I'm not going to Hollywood this week, although we considered doing the NBC Studios tour Monday.

@Michelle_Potter @theejbugg damn... surprised cops are there when Burning Man Decompression fest is going down in Downtown!

@LAWeekly Doesn't look like a riot...

@ProducerMatthew @kaceymontoya police copter is still in the air w/spotlight but it has quieted down significantly.
