Oscars: Celebrities Push Gun Control Surrounded by a Wall of 500 Armed Officers
Breitbart ^ | March 4, 2018 | Jerome Hudson

Posted on 03/04/2018 3:07:12 PM PST by EdnaMode

The Los Angeles Police Department will deploy 500 officers to wrap the Dolby Theatre in multiple barriers of armed security for the 90th Academy Awards on Sunday night, an event at which several of Hollywood’s most celebrated stars will actively push for more gun control in America. “We have these concentric rings of security that start in the middle and radiate outward,” said LAPD Cmdr. Blake Chow, the man tasked with overseeing the massive operation. “We have a lot of officers in fixed posts and foot beats keeping an eye on the event.”

Several celebrities plan to wear orange lapel pins on the red carpet and during tonight’s ceremony in support of gun control and the Michael Bloomberg-founded gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety.

Indeed, there will be road closures to prevent people breaching a security perimeter made up of a wall of ten-foot gates and barricades, FBI agents, and firefighters. Police helicopters will be buzzing above and private security guards from Security Industry Specialists will be inside the Dolby Theater.

Let them push gun control. Let’s see them enforce it. Look, if 20 million criminal aliens can ignore US law, then 100 million US citizens can do the same and more. Target the celebrities. I almost forgot. Charley Manson ordered a couple of celebs killed and got life in prison and no parole—celebs are special dog turds.

Most excellent. One of my favorites. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, But we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.
Funny how that works.

Then after the ceremony, they’re body guards escort them to awaiting vehicles with armed drivers who drive back to their opulent insulated gated guarded secured homes.

Oh my. The Hollywood crowd is protected by armed men and women and an I.D. Is required to get into the Oscars. How can that be?
By the way there is a huge sculpture in Hollywood of Harvey Weinstein clad in an open robe seated on a couch with an Oscar statue between his legs.
It seems to me this sculpture should be onstage at the Oscars. He was after all a Hollywood icon beloved by Meryl Streep and other elitists.

I think two guys will be pushing the casting couch back and forth next to the red carpet. Watch the cameramen bend into knots trying to avoid it.☺

Hollywood says it better to show sex and nudity onscreen than violence (fights, guns, knifings,chainsaws).

All of the violent assaults are fakes but all of the nudity is real.

Would you let your wife do a sex scene in Hollywood?

How about your minor daughter?

“And to prove they are serious, no movies that involve guns will be eligible for an Oscar.”

That’s a brilliant suggestion!

We also used to watch reruns of “Untouchables.” Great music, and effective in black and white.


The great Nelson Riddle did the score for the show.

In an effort to put their money where their (mealy) mouths are, they should ban ALL gunplay in their movies. Look at how well Monty Python did with their skit 'The Batley Townswomens' Guild Presents the Battle of Pearl Harbour' almost 50 years ago! Hollyweird could learn a thing or two from the Pythons.
