My middle school (King Middle School) in Los Feliz is on lockdown right now. A group of maybe 150 students from nearby Marshall High just went by chanting "King Walk Out!" Some of the students have shirts wrapped around their faces so they look like terrorists. They are being escorted by several teachers who undoubtedly encouraged this and are delighted to have teenage foot soldiers in their shining moment of self-righteous political self-aggrandizing posturing.

Ironic that they wave Mexican flags. They come to the US to try and make the US more like the Mexico that sucks so much they left it. Why not stay and make Mexico more like the US? Oh, that would require more effort than a one-day party in the streets, I guess.

It's way easier to take something that's already working than to take something broken and fix it. Of course, if we all left and handed it over, I predict it would look just like Mexico in 10 or 15 years....

Too much corruption in Mexico. Just like in New Orleans.

They accept it as a way of life.
