Tanks Greet Protestors in Los Angeles
Tanks Greet Protestors in Los Angeles

Free Internet Press | November 11, 2004

At 7:50 PM two Armored Personnel Carriers (APC) showed up at an anti-war protest in front of the federal building in Westwood. The APCs circled the block twice, the second time parking themselves in the street and directly in front of the area
where most of the protesters were gathered.

Enraged, some of the people attempted to block the tanks, but police quickly cleared the street. The people continued to protest the presence of the APCs, but about ten minutes the APCs drove off. It is unclear as to why the APCs were deployed to this location.

22. Every single day for the next month
Because no matter how many times this story gets debunked, some asshat will insist on posting it again to rile everybody up. It's as sick as terror warnings, it really is.

4. That's an outrage! The election is barely over and we can see the
change already. Tanks is the street at a protest and censorship of Saving Private Ryan! It's appalling and down right scary!

12. Puh-lease...
You do a disservice to all those killed at Kent state. (Unless I'm missing something and there were a bunch of people killed by these tanks.)

7. Yes
the most benign explanation was that they got lost trying to find the stagin area for a veteran's day parade.

8. Did someone steal two MORE tanks?
And here I was looking forward to more of Fox's "Tanks Gone Wild" footage.

10. I thought this got debunked right here at DU
that it was some tanks from the veteran's center right across the street, some old guys preparing for a veteran's day parade.

Coulda sworn .......
