Canoga High protest turns into looting


Wednesday, March 05, 2003 - An anti-war march against the U.S. policy on Iraq by about 500 Canoga Park High School students turned ugly Wednesday when some in the crowd started looting a gas station convenience store and disrupting traffic.

A group of students who skipped class to participate in the lunchtime protests stole candy bars and knocked over displays at the Mobil gas station at the corner of Topanga Canyon and Victory boulevards, officials said. Five of them were detained on suspicion of vandalism and theft, said Officer Jason Lee, a police spokesman.

Store owner Masood Behroozi said his clerk saw several students knocking over racks, breaking glasses and swiping snack foods. The whole incident was recorded on a surveillance tape that was turned over to police, he said. "They were just joking and laughing and doing this for fun."

"I know they are kids and they are young, but if they really love peace, they should show that they at least believe what they say," Behroozi said.

Mr. Behroozi's right, they don't believe what they preach! Actions speak louder than words. The actions of these public school kids tells me that they are idiots. Just plain old idiots.
