Armenian Protest on Hollywood Blvd and Highland. Pretty much shutdown the heart of Hollywood. People were definitely passionate.
Talked to a few men there, and they said they were preparing to travel to Armenia to fight Azerbaijan/Turkey. #Armenian
2/ Protester explains to spectators the Armenian plight in their fight against Azerbaijan/Turkey: #Armenia
3/ Observation: Armenian protesters feel that the world is distracted. Azerbaijan & Turkey are capitalizing on the distractions to create a new genocide. #ArmenianGenocide
4/ Armenian protester explains other geopolitical aspects of the fight between Armenia and Azerbaijan/Turkey:
5/ Armenian Protester: “We don’t want Americans fighting our wars, either. We just want to let people know what’s going on. We’ll fight our own wars.”
He voted to increase the LAPD budget by $100M (and add 950 cops) and then — just three days later — filmed a video at the “Radical Walking Tour” event in memory of Mike Davis.
I wonder what Mike Davis would have thought about the LAPD’s attempt to censor *jouranlists* and *community groups* like they tried against Ben Camacho and Stop LAPD Coalition.
