[heylucky]

The best comment from a cop... "get outta here Nigger, you are gonna die!" and the fact that they actually "aired Nigger" on ch. 11 news is awesome... thats how it was in 83'...

Pretty dam fair reporting. Instead of expoiting the scene and calling it just simply a punk riot, the reporter in not so many words shows it like it is ,scared kids running from overzelous cops.

Fire arms weren't drawn . If you believe that i'll give you 50 dollars .

@kling626 DC youth brigade was so much better

[mondocaneman]

I remember this. Back then in L.A. when I grew up.. the punk scene was dangerous to live through...there were constant fights, harrassed at school, and also you'd get beaten up by mexican gang members. The cholos would start the fight because they hated the punk scene.

Fucking youth brigade

[cycotrucha]

@StopBohemianGrove ive talked to old school punk rockers that were there that night, that the chief police lied about guns being drawn. one of the old school punk rockers that were there that night told me that the police drawn there guns to him and his friends that night telling them to leave. fuck the cops!!

[dennisbinfishin]

That was one gnarly night. I know there were a couple of embellishments here though. guns were drawn not used. I saw an LAPD officer pull a dumpster away from the wall and draw on the kid behind it, he was about 8 years old. A bunch of us came from OC to see this show and had headlights broken out for the felonious crime of trying to leave and go home. I caught 2 billy clubs myself that night. ill never forget the cops standing on the far side of room with all of the punks sitting in protest.
