Extra, Extra: DUI After Hitting 24 Cars
- LAPD called out to protest in Leimart park today. CBS2 says it's a rally called "Choose Black America - Not Amnesty - Not Illegal Immigration." LAIndyMedia calls it a MinuteKlan march. Confusing! Better explanation at Daily News.
- Come on, he was just trying to find a parking space. A genius in the LBC was charged yesterday with a DUI after hitting two people and 24 cars in Long Beach back in February.
- Traveling Vietnam Memorial Returns to L.A.
- President of Vietnam's visit to Orange County draws protests.
- KABC-TV has an exclusive interview of the City Attorney's wife, Michelle Delgadillo, who we spoke about earlier today.
- From the photographer of the above photo, Bill Selak... "The 10 west is usually bumper to bumper traffic at 7pm. There was one car on the road. So weird. No accidents, no cars, nobody. I almost pulled off I was so weirded out. If you've been on the 10 before, you know... I cross-processed this. The original shot was a washed out blue. It may look like tint from the windshield, but it's Photoshop." Beautiful job! (photo used under Creative Commons license)
