I am calling the Highway patrol to let them know.

if they are like law enforcement here don't bother calling they wont do anything. We have been given notice our city streets will be blocked by students marching to protest in front of our republican congressman's office.

I called the police to ask if they will enforce the truant and loitering laws which are meant to keep the kids and gangs off the street when if they ditch school, , but was told that the kids in our city will be in school on Monday, which is really a joke if i was supposed to believe that,

i mentioned that the city has been failing on investigating vandalism and graffiti, and that we know the gangs doing it are the children of illegal immigrants. After mentioning the term illegal immigrant , the police dispatcher said the call was over and hung up!

however i called my congressman and was told the city had alerted him, so law enforcement knows whats going on, but they ain't going to alert the public , or do anything, even if illegal acts are being committed.

Not sure if this is a state or Federal policy for the police to remain hush, but it wouldn't surprise us here.

Sounds like they are desperately afraid of an "incident."

Well, I hope they at least keep the cameras rolling.

It's the employee's responsibility to get to work on time, IMHO.

The same thing happens with antiwar rallies.... The police will not make arrests of the antiwar hippies unless they do something extreme, such as assaulting a police officer. Tresspassing, harassing counterprotesters, charging police lines, and graffitti are ok for hippies to do, in what I have seen.
