re getting off to an early start patrick townson ptownson eecs nwu edu writes so the jury will be making its announcement at am saturday morning pacific time am eastern time why such an ungodly hour maybe by making the announcement at am on the west coast they figure all the rioters will be asleep giving the troops time to move into place since the actual verdicts were not known by the authorities it was smart not to allow friday night for fighting sorry elton and to seal them for this morning also it allows for maximum daylight to wear down and frustrate any potential troublemakers as well as give more preparation time i guess we can look forward to a weekend of rioting eh are you a local news intern the mayor of los angeles in a press conference about am saturday morning actually that was pm cos it was shown live on our pm news and cut into cnn s o clock sports sorry but i didn t watch the devils islanders game no sportschannel meanwhile following the announcement of the jury s verdict the judge jury and assorted court personnel will be evacuated from the building via helicopters landing on the roof of the courthouse they can t even walk out through the front door with their heads held high we had cutovers to la s knbc on our wnbc and i didn t recall this detail but i ll not comment further on that won t the rioters have a surprise waiting for them when they wake up later today a net contact in l a tells me that the alert will remain over this weekend as some elements may find excuse over the not guilty verdicts on three of five charges the aiding and abetting those acquittals seem to balance out the fact that rodney king himself was not any kind of angel that night speeding and fleeing et al however another consideration is any street celebrations over the two convictions on the excessive force charges koons for incompetance and powell for overreacting both guilty as heck even from the view of nypd cops interviewed that might get out of hand also some elements may take the acquittals as an excuse to challenge the cops a dumb move obviously and koreans are still scared and certain people are really mad over how they have armed themselves in the last year a commander from nassau long island was questioned about how his people would have handled rodney king and he said we d have let him roll around in the dirt til he got tired then handcuff him gld je me souviens gary l dare gld columbia edu go winnipeg jets go gld cunixc bitnet selanne domi stanley
