Holy Hell!! Where did you find this?? I have been wondering where to find this footage. I'm on this clip--LOL--man, that was a long time ago! The way they edited this episode really upset us back in the day--made it look worse than it was. Thanks for posting this ancient footage :-)

So long ago. We remember these early days of LA punk rock with fondness. Makes you miss when the music scene was actually controlled by the kids and bands, and not american idol top 40 media. Not sure if anything like this will ever come around again, but it sure was something that can never be duplicated again. The local LA news had a heyday with punk rock back then. "Lock your doors" They are coming!!!!

Upper middle class hell yeah!..."f da police? no, we had bands that were called MDC! us "white" boys (im asian) were "gangsters." Our fight wasn't about neighborhoods, but we did roll into some crazy ones. Nobody screwed with us more than cops- Mendiola's Pussies! Oki Dogs, Santa Monica Blvd., wwwest, 66, we learned to co-exist, tolerate, respect.  you reporters? too scared, "there's gays and punkers there!" no nukes yet. cops nicer.. Hollywood always gangland. . Once were gangsters, better
