A humble suggestion for LA Critical Mass

Die-In at LACM, RIP Jesus Castillo

Last year when Jesus Castillo was killed LA Critical Mass went to the site of his death, joined together around his ghost bike, and held a die-in to honor him, and call attention to the driver’s crime.

A little over a year later we are still plagued by hit and runs.  I humbly suggest that those at the front of Los Angeles Critical Mass, who set it’s direction and pace, take the ride to the Beverly Hills Courthouse, where protesters gathered on Tuesday to decry hit and run.

Here’s a route proposal:

A suggested LACM route - south on Western, west on Venice, north on Crenshaw, west on Olympic, continue west on San Vicente, continue west on Burton Way

I respect the fact that LA Critical Mass has no leaders per se, and I value that the route is set by the collective will.  Let’s all work together and bring the ride to the courthouse, a symbolic site of failed justice, and make ourselves heard!

By the way – this video from Tuesday was just released by filmmaker Rick Darge:
