1 hour there and no one got arrested? That's just insane.

[Neokvash]

No wonder why people have no sympathy when someone dies in those events. Lessons lost and not learned. And one hour !!! ??

[SBi]

I never feel sorry for anyone who dies going to these stupid take overs.

[lulub]

Proof the Disneyland prices are too high!

[spg]

An hour ? Wow. California is lost. Permanently

[xxBryanxx]

They reluctantly rolled up on them with no intent on doing anything.

[XpapricaX]

Instead of making money moves yall do this smh

[andrewczski]

No arrests because the cops want to convey the message that it's okay so long as they're not there when they do it. And that's exactly the lesson they're learning!

A good indication that one's life is an abysmal failure is if any of it involves watching cars spin around in circles for hours on end and deeming that stimulating entertainment. Further contributing to the dumbing down of this country. Yikes.

[UnstoppableYaris]

Weak, weak, weak police response. I want a tax refund!

[pvt.]

Did you catch that?
(After one hour, the police showed up.)
No wonder criminals think (and can) get away with it.

[kendallevans]

Are there no blond, blue eyed young people anymore in S. CA?
You know, the kind the Beach Boys sang about!

[dloren]

1 hour! I get pulled over if I drove 5 over

[Somerealtomfoolery]

Plot twist: the police were just there to celebrate the fireworks with e'm.

[bigcatauna]

These cops move faster when the donut store is about to close

[os-nb]

Completely unacceptable! Where the F is the cops?

[VictoriaEXx]

Thank God i left L.A. was born and raised there. Pure madness

[Uvotedthis]

Gas has gotten so expensive kids can only afford to go and watch 1 car go around in a circle. Remembering the good old days of $2 President Trump gas & afford their own fireworks.

[Slimedog]

O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea

Nice. Possible future leaders of our country on display.
