I wish the Mormons would get some of their old fashioned chutzpah and go kick some protesters rear ends.

I’d loan ‘em a garbage can full of axe handles to do it with, as well.

They are protesting the majority of the funding for Prop 8 coming from Mormons living in Cali.

Good for the Mormons. Although they will become major targets.

God help them.

The Mormons provided a lot of funding to promote Proposition 8 (as did the Knights of Columbus)

The protesters seem not to realize that 23% of Obama supporters also voted Yes on 8 also. (Re black and hispanic)

I was just watching the Wilshire video.
Why are there no cops?
If this were a group of US Citizens protesting Illegal Aliens, the L.A. cops would bring out the tanks and tear gas.
How can anyone live in L.A. ??

Wilshire/Westwood is closed...the offramps are closed, the side streets are closed.... LAPD has 300 officers on this, CHP has hundreds....and Sheriffs have more standing by when they march back to West Hollyweird later.

I think if the selfish, sexually divient, perverts want to fight take it to them! P8 was voted on again and the perverts lost again! They can go pound sand, or whatever!

The video I was watching had one motor cop in sight.
A long line of cars, 3 lanes, was stuck, turning around very very slowly.
Again, why are the cops so patient with this crap?
Never mind. I know.

Yes, many faiths came together to fight this.

The LDS church released this statement yesterday after the vote. I wish the gay community would read it.

The people voted it down, what are they protesting?

Cause they don't believe in democracy. They are whining little bitches who believe they are the new civil rights movement. They transcend the people's will.

They are for peace, donthcaknow...

Actually, there are really there just to redecorate the temple, not burn it down.

They're expressing their love and tolerance for the majority of Californians. By rioting against a decision they disagree with.

I wanna know exactly how this is the Mormon’s fault? Lots of people voted against this... not just Mormons.

Do they realize that the mormons were a very small percentage that voted for it?

I say bring out the fire hoses and the tear gas.
Send them home wet and stinking — as normal.
