haha, you got one of those too? you must work in Downtown...
I find it amazing how the Business Improvement District sends these memos out, basically telling the business community that a "demonstration" is coming through. Effectively defusing some of the effectiveness of the demonstration.
I used to "work" with one of the organizers, there is an anarcho-syndicalist chapter that will be participating in this event. They do this every year, and get attacked by the LAPD every time. Everyone, that can, should join in on the fun.
If you follow any kind of anarcho or anti-authoritarian or autonomous belief, they could use your support. Look for the banner that reads: "L(A) Revolucion is Here, Join US!" or Red & Black or Black (A) flags.
It's TODAY, Oct 22nd
Gather at Parker Center: 150 North Los Angeles St. at 12:00PM.

Rioting-the unbeatable high
Adrenalin shoots your nerves to the sky
Everyone knows this town is gonna blow
And it's all gonna blow right now:.
Now you can smash all the windows that you want
All you really need are some friends and a rock
Throwing a brick never felt so damn good
Smash more glass
Scream with a laugh
And wallow with the crowds
Watch them kicking peoples' ass
But you get to the place
Where the real slavedrivers live
It's walled off by the riot squad
Aiming guns right at your head
So you turn right around
And play right into their hands
And set your own neighbourhood
Burning to the ground instead
Riot-the unbeatable high
Riot-shoots your nerves to the sky
Riot-playing into their hands
Tomorrow you're homeless
Tonight it's a blast
Get your kicks in quick
They're callin' the national guard
Now could be your only chance
To torch a police car
Climb the roof, kick the siren in
And jump and yelp for joy
Quickly-dive back in the crowd
Slip away, now don't get caught
Let's loot the spiffy hi-fi store
Grab as much as you can hold
Pray your full arms don't fall off
Here comes the owner with a gun
The barricades spring up from nowhere
Cops in helmets line the lines
Shotguns prod into your bellies
The trigger fingers want an excuse
Now
The raging mob has lost its nerve
There's more of us but who goes first
No one dares to cross the line
The cops know that they've won
It's all over but not quite
The pigs have just begun to fight
They club your heads, kick your teeth
Police can riot all that they please
Tomorrow you're homeless
Tonight it's a blast
