HYPOCRITES !!! – AQT 11:43 A.M. ET:  Oh. another thing about the Oscars.  One of the big causes this year was gun control.  Next year it'll be another one – the heartbreak of failed facelifts.  And it's reported (I didn't watch) that people walked around with their gun-control pins, and feeling mighty good about themselves.  The frauds.  From Breitbart:   

The Los Angeles Police Department will deploy 500 officers to wrap the Dolby Theatre in multiple barriers of armed security for the 90th Academy Awards on Sunday night, an event at which several of Hollywood’s most celebrated stars will actively push for more gun control in America.

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

Several celebrities plan to wear orange lapel pins on the red carpet and during tonight’s ceremony in support of gun control and the Michael Bloomberg-founded gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety.

Indeed, there will be road closures to prevent people breaching a security perimeter made up of a wall of ten-foot gates and barricades, FBI agents, and firefighters. Police helicopters will be buzzing above and private security guards from Security Industry Specialists will be inside the Dolby Theater.

“There’s definitely going to be an extensive police presence,” LAPD Officer Luis Garcia told Breitbart news.

COMMENT:  I love the hypocrisy.  Okay, you suckers, you get rid of your guns, but me, the movie star, will keep my 500-man force, armed with Glocks.  After all, I'm special and you're not. 

And you may be sure that behind the Glocks were shotguns and rifles, including the kinds of rifles the orange-pin wearers want to ban. 

Reminds me of some members of Congress, protected by a battalion of gun-wielding guards, but opposed to schoolchildren getting the same protection.  I mean, who's important here?
