The Crowds Outside Staples Center

I think the New Kids on the Block could get a bigger crowd than I'm seeing here

I guess we have a new definition for the word crowd......

i think the guy wearing the white hat and big sunglasses looks like Dave Chappelle!

You people make me sick! It was never proven that he did anything to ANY child. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. Can't you see that these were the accusing words of money hungry parents who were on welfare and saw a way out of it by lying on Michael Jackson? He was acquited of any wrong doing. You are the sad ones.

Dear Michael and family,
I want to pay my respects and show my sorrows.Im so sorry for your loss as he was a loss to all. Although the world dosnt feel the pain you as the Jackson family are going through we all still feel a pain.Im so sorry to all of you.I hope you will find peace of mind knowing Michael is now in Heaven waiting at the gates for his family to meet with him once again God Bless you all and please hang in there and God bless his children I hope all will work out for the best for all of you.

Thank you and God bless,

LAPD's intelligence-gathering departments aren't performing very well.

For the Lakers parade, they knew streets would be lined and a Coliseum would be filled. And LAPD's intelligence departments thought 2,000 cops were sufficient for the job.

But for today's Michael Jackson memorial, they believed 3,000 cops were needed for the massive crowds that were going to attend - or attempt to crash - the memorial. And how many were there on the perimeter? Five thousand peaceful fans.

I don't think the LAPD should be asking for public assistance paying for their enormous miscalculation of needed personnel. They need to be able to gather better intelligence to better protect our communities.

Wow. Only 600 people showed up and they were expecting a million? How embarrassing.

Acting mayor, JAN PERRY auth'd the money for the memorial, taking funds from the emergency fund, funds that are used for fires, earthquakes, she has a history of unwisely sponsoring events in LA, she helped sponsor a very POORLY run Film festival called Jules Verne Film festival, which by the way was also run by frenchmen who then RAN back to France to escape the vendors they owed,one of the french men was known for improper actions towards young men and boys who attended. She needs to be removed from office for authing city funds for a Private event

Damm look at all the people playing hookey from work for this. No wonder the state is broke
