Anthony Lee, an aspiring actor and practicing Buddhist, was gunned down by the LAPD Friday night at a Halloween party. He was holding a toy gun. Please read the whole story from the LA Times at the web address above.

There's a candlelight vigil at 7 pm for Anthony this evening (Monday) at the West LA police station at Butler and Santa Monica Blvd. (Butler is about four blocks west of the 405).

Please come on down and show your solidarity against senseless police killings.

This was a tragic mix of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and an overzealous young cop. You have the examine the type of individual that wants to become a police officer, usually people who are dying to have power over other people.
