The only sad thing is that because we will have a large crowd we likely will receive no opposition from so-called security authorities at the Metro. Not that I'm demanding that this protest be confrontational, however, I expect that we will be given the "red carpet treatment," to borrow Hollywood & Highland terminology, and that not only will we not be hassled by security, but for this one particular event, they will go out of their way to protect our First Amendment right to express ourselves in public via photography. The shame is that if you take the same train on Monday, June 2, and try to take pictures, it will be back to the same ol' hassle routine.

But I am fully behind this event and I will be part of it. Hopefully, we can shame the city into changing regulations that clearly violate the basic freedoms and protections that all Americans are "guaranteed" under the US Constitution. See you Sunday, June 1st!

I'll be there! kentvictor@hotmail.com

I am incensed by this. I am an LA resident, and an artist. If anyone wants to participate in an organized demonstration - as many of us as we can gather will all go on the Red Line, and as a group, take as many pictures as possible - I would not only be happy to participate, but to help coordinate a photo-in demo on the red line. If you're interested, send me an e-mail at kentvictor@hotmail.com, and title the subject line as "redline". If a few are willing to join me, we could embarrass the city in the press for its ridiculous policy.
