This is the Facebook page of the organizers. Walter Moore and David Hernandez are among the confirmed attendees.
Make your own determination, but it looks "safe" to me.

The turnout for this event was good, though I believe that more could have shown up. Walter Moore and David Hernandez were among the roster of five speakers at the event. Walter spoke about Jamiel Shaw and the tragedy of his murder (some of the Shaw family were there also). David spoke of his attempt to recall the midget mayor of Los Angeles, Tony Villar. Even our beloved DerailAmnesty was there. I was a few minutes late, but grabbed a sign and got behind the men and women leading this event.
During the event, a reporter from channel 62 wanted to interview me. Of course he began his conversation with me in Spanish, which is one sure way to get on my good side (sarcasm). I told him that I do not speak to the Spanish language news because they are part of the problem because of their billboard advertising "L.A., Mexico." As the event ended, the Univision came up to David Hernandez to speak to him, and he asked me to speak to them. Since my Spanish is non-existant, I was very hesitant to speak to them, and I voiced that hesitancy to the reporter. I did speak to them, and told them my thoughts on what Arizona is doing to protect its sovereignty, and compared it to how the Mexican President described the methods his country's border security. After this, I got into a spirited discussion with a member of the opposition. That discussion garnered the attention of the media, so you may be seeing it on the evening news. DerailAmnesty left a bit early and didn't get that on his camera, lol. Anyway, long and short of this is that I'm back. My appetite for events has been whetted, and I want to start getting back into the swing of things. My concern is that I do not want to organize something and have no one show up. These events that are held during the week, and during business hours are for the consumption of the press. However, we need events that will strengthen and encourage the rank and file. However, the rank and file needs to be willing to come out. So my question is how many of you will come out for a Saturday event? And an event in Los Angeles?

Maybe we need to do more to convince our associates that Chelene Nightingale's policy of shooting the deserter's and evader's in the back is no longer in effect?

Thank you Pocho for being there and all you are trying to do in these hard times. Like I have said, I hesitate to try and go to anything because I do not want to try it alone anymore.
I did catch the end of something on the 11 AM news (CH 7) where David was speaking. From what I heard I thought someone saw organizing a trip to AZ. I willl be watching the 4 PM news this evening. |

Damn, you're right, I missed that. I got you on film but not what you just described. It was a quality event. Several people spoke quite eloquently about what the problem truly is. Anyway, this link will lead to the video I shot this morning - http://members4.boardhost.com/Derail...274838932.html

I heard about it all day on the radio. Very effective protest. Lots of media exposure. Mostly on KFI. Congratulations to all.
