The SAME Hollywood Elite That Lectures Us About OUR Guns… Had Over 500 Armed Guards At The Oscars

Hollywood celebrities want us to give up our guns, because, you know, we’re just a bunch of stupid rednecks who don’t need protecting! Only THEYYYY need protecting.

DUH!

PS. These idiots also freak at the idea of having armed protection at schools.

Armed protection is stupid, right?

According to Variety:

Traffic in Hollywood will grind to a halt on Sunday, as the LAPD works to wrap the Dolby Theatre in multiple cordons of security.

More than 500 officers will be on hand, many of them working overtime, to ensure the safety of the 90th Academy Awards, along with firefighters, police helicopters and agents from the FBI. Private security guards from Security Industry Specialists will work the inside of the theater.

“We have these concentric rings of security that start in the middle and radiate outward,” says LAPD Cmdr. Blake Chow, who is overseeing the operation. “We have a lot of officers in fixed posts and foot beats keeping an eye on the event.”

Because of COURSE THEYYYY deserve armed protection. They’re important and we’re not! Don’t you get it?

This year, the LAPD is taking extra precautions in light of the shooting at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas, in which 58 people were killed. A shooter in the 32nd floor of the hotel opened fire on the Harvest Music Festival, almost a quarter-mile away, firing 1100 rounds.

“That was something that was kind of new,” Chow says, and it has been figured into the department’s tactical plan.

The city of L.A. bills the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for security, street closures, and other expenses related to the event. This year, the cost is $340,000, up from $300,000 for the last several years.

The department hopes the general public will understand the inconveniences that come with the show.

“We want to make sure they know traffic will be bad,” Chow says.

For ONE night, folks. $340,000 FOR ONE NIGHT.

But the people say arming teachers or providing security at schools is just too expensive. We couldn’t possibly spend any money protecting our CHILDREN.

I don’t let overweight people, tell me how to manage my weight

I don’t let broke people, tell me how to manage my money

I don’t let people with armed
security, tell me what to do with my guns

I don’t let people with ZERO moral values, tell me how to live my life#Oscars

HOLLYWOOD: ‘Guns are bad!’

ALSO HOLLYWOOD: ‘Yeah, we’ve got this #Oscars thing & we’re gonna need: 500 armed LAPD officers, firefighters, a few police helicopters, and some FBI agents for good measure’ pic.twitter.com/LiVBOQZzvJ

I’m sick and tired of this BULL.

Which is why I was excited to see this email in my inbox today:

5 years! WOOHOO!!!!

I would have gone lifetime… but it wasn’t in the budget. Though I’ll GLADLY take sponsorships. (hehe!)
