Los Angeles -- Two people were murdered in Los Angeles during the first 18 hours of a 40-hour symbolic "murder moratorium" to mark the 40th anniversary of the assassination the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., police said.

[Jet Jaguar]

That worked out well.

[basil]

Just damn.....And I was so sure it would work/s

[Dr.Zoidberg]

When you value symbolism over substance anything is possible.

Unicorns, fairies, honest politicians, LA without murder.

All you have to do is BELIEVE!

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Well, just imagine what it would be like without a “moratorium”......

[ClearCase_guy]

Yes, but the important thing is that the community activists feel that it worked according to plan.

[ArmstedFragg]

Possibly because they tied the event to the wrong ethnic hero.

[SevenofNine]

Gee that work out LOL! NOTT

[2ndDivisionVet]

Sounds like the officials didn’t wish and hope hard enough! “Bippidy Boppity Boo”, folks!

[indylindy]

The stupid liberals couldn’t figure it out that the murderers and theives aren’t watching the news and probably have no idea they weren’t supposed to do any shootins’ and killins’ until the moratorium is over.

Two murders during a 40-hr period is just about par for a city with over 600 murders a year.

[purpleraine]

I can’t understand why those murderers don’t honor the city council resolutions.

[BinaryBoy]

Maybe there would be fewer murders if criminals were in jail instead of on the street. Just a crazy thought.

[Man50D]

Apparently that is their idea of a moratorium.

[xkaydet65]

The Los Angeles city council proposed a murder moratorium? as a New Yorker I always believed that the NYC council was the dumbestgroup of elected politicians extant. This act in LA exceeds all of NY’s insanities. I’d like to say something more specific about this but I just don’t know where to start.

[purpleraine]

Next week they’re passing a resolution to reduce traffic.

[robomatik]

the article said 18 hours.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

TIME TO SEND IN A TROOP SURGE!!!!

(uh, I forgot, this is LA, not Iraq...)

[skimask]

Only two murders.......the plan must be working.

[4buttons]

ya gotta get some clocks an' sh** down there, blood, so people know the moratoranium is in effeck.

"as a New Yorker I always believed that the NYC council was the dumbest group of elected politicians extant"

you are safe in your belief.

[granite]

So after the 40 hour period is over, then it is OK with the L.A. City council to kill again?

[attiladhun2]

That would definitely be way over par, wouldn’t it? We can without doubt proclaim that “moratorium” to be a failure, as are the vast majority of all such symbolic actions so dearly loved by the Left and wimpish Republicans.

Was the moratorium a suggestion, or did they make murder illegal for a few days?

[cricket]

Wonder if they kept a few on ice. . .

[Panzerlied]

Ave LA! Moratorium te salutamus!

[montag813]

Black on black. Murder after murder. But somehow it’s all Whitey’s fault.

I'm sorry, you said "moratorium", I though you said "crematorium"...My mistake. Sorry about that...

[cricket]

Imagine. . .a world without Liberal Judges. . .

[Mark]

Well, their intentions were good.That’s ALL that should matter!!(/evil lib spin off forever)

That's the "big city" division: Brattleboro, Vermont and Berkeley, California are duking it out in the "small city" division.

[Revolting cat!]

Cynics.it’s the intentions that count. Like the LBJ’s War on Poverty!

[Know et al]

I believe law enforcement should withdraw from L. A. It's a civil war and a surge won't work: Nancy Pelosi

[PAR35]

They might have had better luck if the goal had been 40 killings in 40 hours.

[Secret Agent Man]

Just tell me they weren’t trying to recreate the assassination....

[Revolting cat!]

Imagine, a moratorium. 40 hours, that’s all we’re axin’. After that, you homeboys an’ mofos can go on killin’ like befo, yo, you know what I’m talkin’ ‘bout?!

[Haddit]

I you had listened to the city council and how schoolish they sounded you would have had trouble holding your dinner.

Our only hope is that illegals are not allowed to vote and we elect this guy but given the fact that 48 percent of the voters were mail-in voters I don’t think this will work.

The Illegals are voting in mass.

[Exit148]

Let’s talk!!

Let’s have a dialogue!

[Squeako]

“Murdatorium” sounds like a hip-hop album.

[Popman]

40-hour symbolic "murder moratorium" to mark the 40th anniversary of the assassination the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., police said.

The put the wrong decimal point in

40 hour should be 4.0 hours

That might have worked

[Titan Magroyne]

A moratorium, huh? Those pikers. Next time they should go full bore and declare murder illegal.

[river rat]

I thought Los Angeles was a “Sanctuary City”....

Murder is not allowed in a “Sanctuary City”, is it?

[buck jarret]

Out of spite?

[isom35]

the killers didnt read the memo?

[ApplegateRanch]

All you have to do is BELIEVE!

HOPE for CHANGE;

BELIEVE in CHANGE;

CONVINCE YOURSELF things HAVE CHANGED...

...and still get run over by reality!

They forget their own song's lyrics: "When will they EVER learn?"

[samadams2000]

A world without government welfare and zero tolerance for gang activity would solve 96.877% of the problem.

In one sentence you have defined the Democrat party.

[BurbankKarl]

they didnt propose it...they voted to PASS it

[Dr.Zoidberg]

In one sentence you have defined the Democrat party.

Defining the enemy is the easy part, destroying them is where the real work is.

[DennisR]

You gotta start somewhere! :)
