Los Angeles, CA
Just not Downtown.
Thanks to a memorial of an alleged pedophile and well known circus freak, the LAPD is deploying about 3,200 officers around Staples Center today.
They only have about 9,000.
That means that a third of the police force is going to be watching the perimeter to make sure that no... illegal moonwalking takes place, spontaneous outbreaks of Thriller sing-alongs? With any luck, they'll arrest that Phelps asshole.
If a riot of Jackson fans were to really break out, it'd be like fighting a zombie horde. Shoot for the head, and if a Boomer shows up, remember to shove him back first. You don't want that fucker puking all over you.
I'm assuming that the bulk of the force will be made up of off-duty officers and trainees, but that's still over 30% of the goddamn LAPD to keep order for the poster boy of bad plastic surgery.
And how much is that going to cost the city? $3.8 million.
Time and a half, baby! Woohoo! Tonight, we're goin' to Applebees.
The city is a bucketload and a half in the red and after catching shit for wanting to drop a cool mil on the Lakers parade, I'm sure there's going to be a lot of noise on the pricetag here, as well.
Oh, wait there already is.
Los Angeles City Councilman Dennis Zine called Monday on AEG to cover the full cost of the memorial, saying the company had made the decision to hold it at Staples. "I don't fault their decision," Zine said. "I'm just saying that it should be at their expense, not the taxpayers'."
Little late for that, isn't it Sparky? You know, it helps to grab the money before you hand out all the permits and make the arrangements.
Well, you'll just bill them. I'm sure they'll be very prompt in their payments. They are, after all rolling in dough.

So what you're saying is it wouldn't exactly take a smooth criminal.
Sorry, that was bad.
Crap! I've done it again! This is what I get, farting around on-line instead of working on my thriller.
(I'm so ashamed.)
I hear at the after party they are serving Lil Smokies and Wine, er, I mean, Jesus Juice.
i meant to also include something about the Phelps, who are based about a half hour from here in Kansas City. Not sure if you heard, but about 6 or 7 months ago, someone tried to set their garage on fire. Instead it just burned down a bush and part of the garage. I'll let you run with the whole Burning Bush thing. They come to Kc at least once or twice a month, to protest something. I've been up close to them a few times, taking pics. The thing that disturbs me about them, are the kids. Something about a first grader holding a God hates fags sign. It defies description.
