Vigil stops traffic in L.A. Woooo Hoooo!
So I'm driving home from work about 750pm and the traffic is a bloody fuckstix nightmare and I thought there must be an accident, but as I got closer I saw figures walking back and forth on the overpass above...

then i saw candles...

then i saw signs...

Then I looked around me to gage the reaction...people were honking and pumping their fists out their windows in support.

It was a beautiful sight.


:grouphug:

(This was in the Valley near Balboa, in case any of you were among them!)

3. It was difficult to tell....maybe 80-100...but the people in the traffic..
WERE SO SUPPORTIVE!!!

That was the coolest part of all!

There are more people who are sick of this piece of shit war than some might think.

2. Good to hear this, MalibuChloe!
I couldn't get to one...but I know they were all over LA...

Maybe, just maybe, this will get some needed attention by the MSM, and some traction in the papers...

Something has to start working on the vast illiterate types that there seem to be so many of....

Not in California, though...mostly!

Thanks for reporting it!
