Sole Tech’s Don Brown had his Insta from last night’s (October 13, 2012) Bake & Destroy premiere “riot” picked up and run in The Hollywood Reporter, not bad for a night out on the town. According to the story:
An unknown number of people attending a skateboarding movie premiere clashed with police Saturday night in Hollywood near the Vine Theater. . . . Several people identified by local media as skateboarders threw bottles at police officers, according to a report from NBC4. Twitter feeds from people on the scene described police in riot gear flanking the intersection of Hollywood Blvd. and Vine and walking toward the crowd.
So funny how the police can turn 300 people having fun into a “riot” simply by showing up in their ready to rumble suits, then again, it got the Baker Boys all over the news for free in the LA Times and newspapers all across the country. The only thing getting more coverage today was some guy jumping out of a hot air balloon.
Interesting to put what actually happened in terms of what NBC Los Angeles reported: “Angry mob of skaters” and pedestrians “running for their lives.” Just think how messed up all their other stories are?
