Los Angeles Street Scene

Probably most Angelenos would still agree that the annual Street Scene event here is in principle worthwhile and perhaps even a cultural asset in the absence of disruptive elements that seem to have scant respect for public order and even less for those that enforce it.

Obviously, some will not buy the idea of curtailing the sale of intoxicants, but it is possibly a factor since it is known that even a little alcohol has a devastating effect on some more or less unstable people.
