Thread Box:
080808 SMPD gone WILD!!
Thread started by Alex Thompson at 08.5.08 - 2:05 am

CRIMANIMALZ and Lindsey Lohan present:





This ride will consist of disruptive civil obedience. Obedience because we will follow the law - but we will do so in a way which causes extreme disruption. I can't disclose the details, but come and I promise you'll have a fun time, and see a spectacle. Direct action and party time will be sexxxing it up on the streets of Santa Monica.

We all know that Ridazz and Critical Mass don't really go out of their way to disrupt traffic - we're just victims of our own popularity. We're victims!! (LULZ) Actually - corking keeps the group compact and tight - increasing safety and decreasing disruption. SMPD doesn't get it. They're a bit thick so we're going to provide an object lesson.

Do it for SMCM! Do it for the LULZ!!

Afterward - ride to the pillow fytes!!!

reply


This is earlier than the normal SMCM, is there a way some of us can meet up with the pack at say 7:00pm?

Y'all,

Consider this a first edition of an ongoing series. If all goes according to plan we can do it on Saturday afternoon, Monday morning, and XMas. If you can't make it this time perhaps you can make it next time - but do try to make it this time.

Our message is that every time that SMPD harasses CM we will do this for the remainder of the month. We have fun, and they are embarrassed because they can't control the situation. This will raise the ire of residents, against cyclists AND the PD. That 2nd part is what we want - because while residents can do little to cyclists, they have the most power to bring the SMPD to heel. The first part is unfortunate, but unavoidable.

After the ride we will put out a guide on how to do your own "SMPD gone WILD" ride.



Alex Thompson
08.5.08 - 11:23 am

reply


SRSLY ????What if the SMPD doesn't show up?????????????

It would be like girls gone wild without the girls!

Should we anonymously tip off the police? They just might not read a thread with "SMPD" in the title. They aren't what you call "go getter".

Maybe we can call in and report ourselves to the police.

caller: Yes I want to report the bikes riding in the street.
police distpatch: what do you mean. Are they breaking traffic laws?
caller: No they are slowing traffic down by stopping and waiting there turn at the red lights and stop signs.
police dispatch: so whats the problem?
caller: they are just annoying, can't you do something?
police dispatcher: (typing into the communication system ) call out the swat team.

I just spoke to Jesus and he gave me a great idea for spoke cards.

Double sided reflective spoke-cards so the fucks can't bust anybody for not having reflectors!

Jesus said you can save that suggestion or use it. Its up to you.
Just call him if you have any questions.

I'll be there in spirt, so definitely save warm thoughts of me if they take any of you to the pokey.

RIDE ON!

great article UTAT. I knew I should have came out. Me and pops could of joined in on the fun.

HOW DID YOU LIKE DOING THIS ROADBLOCK?



sexy
08.9.08 - 6:57 pm

reply


I didn't go because To be honest I'm not sure its the right tactic... to me CM in any city is about getting support from the community and I'm not sure that this method is going to win much sympathy from the community or anyone who might be on the fence about riding their bikes with the mass. It might scare people away for fear of an even harsher response from the smpd.... BUT to each his own and I learned my lesson last time I naysayed the crimanimalz. They know what they iz doingz. You never know, it might just work! Its definitely an epic LULZ of a protest.

As I've said before, I'm the last person to be suggesting anything for smcm, but I think if you just bear the storm of the crackdown and simply obey the law, the cops are doomed to failure as is. Introducing new tactics... I don't know, we'll see how it goes!

If Santa Monica PD would have a task force set up to catch the home invasion robber instead of chasing bicycles, maybe that 70 yea- old woman wouldn't have been robbed on Ashland Ave.

Let's hope all this publicity wakes up the community to demand that SMPD drop their harassment of bicyclists and put more resources in actually protecting the citizens from crime.
