Most were there to protest the recent not-guilty verdict of two officers charged in the death of Kelly Thomas. There were also questions about why Police Chief Hughes felt it necessary to bring out the riot police and SWAT armored vehicle to shut down the Jan. 18th demonstration downtown which also drew about 400 people, and to demand that the fired officers not be rehired by the city. Chief Hughes assured the crowd that he would be vigorously defending his prior decisions in terminating the employment of officers Ramos, Cicinelli, and Wolfe. He also said that he is cooperating in the FBI investiga- tion of the three officers. He said riot gear became necessary due to the numerous online threats to bring explosives and guns to the protest, burn the police department to the ground, and kill police officers and their families. Police shut down the rally after a group of protesters assault- ed a news crew. More on page 8 An estimated 400 citizens came out on the streets of Fullerton to protest the not-guilty verdict and to send the strong message that such actions by police as took place in the July 2011 beating death of Kelly Thomas will not be tolerated.

    communiqué from an ex-cop by christopher jordan dorner annotated by research and destroy new york city new york / los angeles 2013 From: Christopher Jordan Dorner /76486 To: America Subj: Last resort7 Regarding CF# 07-0042818 I know most of you who personally know me are in disbelief to hear from media reports that I am suspected of committing such horrendous murders and have taken drastic and shocking actions in the last couple of ________ 1 Posted on Facebook on February 4th, 2013 at 1:48 AM, according to a February 6th search warrant (see Appendix A; Search Warrant. Superior Court of California, County of Orange. 6 Feb. 2013. 17). 2 From the beginning, all news outlets have referred to Dorner’s text as a “manifesto,” often preceded by the word “rambling,” (a Google News phrase search for “rambling manifesto” yielded 1,860 articles at the height of the manhunt) though more often “angry” (3,930 articles). Labeling a document a “manifesto” is one way the media marks its author as mentally unstable, or, even worse, a lone voice yelling into the wilderness. Revelations of isolated lives spent in cabins, whether in the remote Mon- tana wilderness or the snow-capped mountains of Big Bear, CA, paint an image of an unhinged, anti-social individual wholly out of touch with reality, if not totally against it (the climactic self-inflicted gunshot wound provides ultimate confirmation of this). The Riverside Chief of Police articulated early on the portrait of a suspect both soli- tary and certifiable: “My opinion of the suspect is unprintable.

    NO SAFE HARBOUR ™ SEASON TWO ® ® PRESS™ KIT 01 CONTENTS 03 SYNOPSIS 04 CAST & CHARACTERS 23 PRODUCTION BIOGRAPHIES 28 INTERVIEW: DAVE ERICKSON EXECUTIVE PRODUCER & SHOWRUNNER 31 PRODUCTION CREDITS ® ™ SYNOPSIS Last season, Fear the Walking Dead explored a blended family who watched a burning, dead city as they traversed a devastated Los Angeles. In season two, the group aboard the ‘Abigail’ is unaware of the true breadth and depth of the apocalypse that surrounds them; they assume there is still a chance that some city, state, or nation might be unaffected - some place that the Infection has not reached. But as Operation Cobalt goes into full effect, the military bombs the Southland to cleanse it of the Infected, driving the Dead toward the sea. As Madison, Travis, Daniel, and their grieving families head for ports unknown, they will discover that the water may be no safer than land. ® ™ 03 CAST & CHARACTERS ® ™ 04 MADISON CLARK In many ways, the Madison of season two is the same woman we met in the pilot - a leader, a moral compass - but in a whole new devastated, apocalyptic world. As the season plays out, Madison will be faced with a world that often has no room for empathy or compassion. Forced to navigate a deceptive and manipulative chart of personalities, Madison’s success in this new world is predicated on understanding that, at the end of the world, lending a helping hand can often endanger those you love. She may maintain her maternal ferocity, but the apocalypse will force her to make decisions and sacrifices that could break even the strongest people.

  • Exclusive Interview: Could 'Fear the Walking
    Exclusive Interview: Could ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ star Mercedes Mason be the next Carol? fanfest.com/2016/04/17/exclusive-interview-could-fear-the-walking-dead-star-mercedes-mason-be-the-next- carol/ McKenzie Morrell April 18, 2016 Let’s be real, everyone loves zombies. If the world’s ending, I’m pretty sure a good portion of us want to go out in a gutsy glory– wielding machetes, slinging guns and toting around… a water filtration system? Yes, this is an actual thing Fear the Walking Dead star Mercedes Mason insists on bringing if the apocalypse were to ever happen in real life. A nerdy, yet totally logical response and damn, we’re definitely thinking we’d want her to join our survival team. Mason, who plays Ofelia Salazar, a sheltered and emotionally stunted young woman whose family dynamic is not ideal for prospering in a dire situation like a zombie apocalypse, is among the stars to set sail on an epic journey of outliving a mass epidemic that has destroyed Los Angeles. And quite possibly the world. Though the group doesn’t know exactly what’s going on at this point, just that a mysterious flu has quarantined their gritty city, and the only way out is through a seemingly safe passage with a shifty survivor named Victor Strand (Colman Domingo). Now on the yacht, these strangers are being bombarded by ‘the infected,’ and it’s pretty clear that their fight will not only be against the undead, but each other as well. What happens when the world goes to hell and you’re forced to work with people you don’t know? Can you trust your neighbors, your family, the people sharing close quarters with you? When humanity is still in tact, do your chances of survival decline? Questions these characters, and the audience will continue to ask themselves throughout the season.

  • Dec 8 10Pmet
    SERIES PREMIERE ET DEC 8 10PMPT INTRO Letter from Marja-Lewis Ryan I was 19 when The L Word® first aired, and Ilene Chaiken’s original series made me believe that my voice mattered. It profoundly influenced both my personal and professional life. For the first time ever, I saw myself reflected both on screen and behind the camera. The power of that really can’t be underplayed. It allowed me to dream up the career that I have now. I met Ilene a few years ago when we were both hired to write on a feature. A few months after that job ended, I sent her an email to congratulate her on The Handmaid’s Tale. She sent me an email back asking me if I wanted to pitch to create an L Word reboot. As you could imagine, I thought it was a joke. After a handful of surreal meetings, here we are, 10 years after Ilene left off with her original version, I get to pick up with my new one: THE L WORD: GENERATION Q. I describe my take as: queer, confident, aspirational, and joyful. I remind my collaborators that even as the world has changed, normalization is still radical. Our audience still needs to know that queer people are just people; they have jobs and they get coffee. I am beyond excited for the opportunity to usher in the next generation of diverse queer people. A generation that looks like Los Angeles does now. I couldn’t imagine a better time to make this show.
