Oh, please, give me a break.☕

Things have gone completely off the rails here, and honestly, we aren't even talking about fan repression anymore; it’s just pure, unadulterated spectacle at this point, bordering on sheer human stupidity...🙂🙂🙂
Just to get into the grounds—into the damn park itself through the usual entrances—you had to endure full-blown searches and ID checks, because at every single entry point leading toward the Rose Bowl and Bukovac, there were at least a dozen tactical officers standing around refusing to let anyone into the freaking park (!!!) without checking their credentials first.
The Kings have basically cordoned off the entire area from the parking lot all the way up to the West Stand with heavy fencing.
Even if you actually managed to make it to the ticket booth, which took at least fifteen minutes of dodging people, you'd just end up getting snapped at by the staff anyway.
I was a bit skeptical over the last few days, but it looks like they’ve actually blacklisted absolutely everyone who attended the last match against the Portland Timbers. From what I can tell, the blacklist has essentially become a formal database now, since the ladies at the ticket windows have been briefed to run everyone through some sort of computer system to check their status before they'll even talk to you.

Scott Jones9 said:Jesse Campbell actually hit the nail on the head once when he mentioned how everyone—myself included, if I'm being honest—gets way too exhausted fighting them. We all know exactly who they are, what they stand for, and their complete lack of any real moral compass. The unfortunate part is that they’re just a massive distraction, pulling our eyes away from the much bigger issues facing the leadership. For instance, we were expecting some kind of major federal audit results less than two weeks ago, yet there hasn't been a single peep or even a whisper about it from them...

That's exactly it.
These mercenaries showed up right when Mamić was at his most vulnerable, and honestly, the whole thing feels like a carefully staged production orchestrated by him.
From the very moment they made their presence known, they started these calculated provocations, throwing around labels like "red leaders" and whatnot, which is precisely Mamić's goal: to make sure we spend all our energy focusing on them instead of on him or how the club is actually being run.
By engaging in this tug-of-war with them, we're really just doing him a favor, because the team is inevitably going to face more bans and penalties, and the media will just fill the headlines with stories about "hooligans from the East" supposedly "terrorizing" the stadium.

The Formula 1 logic here is pretty simple:

Mamić leaving Real Madrid = those mercenaries finally disappearing from the stands.

Larry Wells2 said:There are about 80 people on the blacklist now; I actually swung by Madison Square Garden the other day and saw the security guard checking the list right in front of me.

Yeah, maybe around 80, but that’s just what’s listed on the very first page...🙄

bluewalker9 said:Look, I’m not here to stir the pot; I actually have decent intentions when I post here
if you look at this photo, there are clearly over 5,000 people sitting in the North Stand alone
http://www.hrsport.net/media4/sjever-poludi.jpg

So, if only about 1,000 fans are facing bans, where on earth did those other 4,000+ people come from?

I mean, back when the big rivalry games or the European matches were happening, we used to see 15,000 people packed into the East or West stands
so where are they all hiding now? Are they all just boycotting the stadium together?

To have a real movement, you need an actual club to rally behind, and let's face it, we haven't really had one of those for the last three or four years...

Kyle Davis2 said:I think it’s pretty obvious by now that the whole club setup is a bigger operation than any agency in the city. If anyone actually wants to stand in the stands with them knowing they’re essentially being bankrolled by Zdravko Mamić, be my guest—you'll have the distinct pleasure of being a tiny cog in this massive historical machine.

This might sound a bit naive, but I’d bet anything that there are still individuals in there who genuinely believe they aren't connected to Zdravko Mamić, especially some of the younger crowd who drifted over to the North Side after having their heads completely scrambled by all those manufactured narratives—you know, the ones claiming the Democratic Party is pulling the strings just to tear down Los Angeles FC.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to defend them, but the reality is that while a specific few are busy laundering the cash, everyone else is just living under the delusion that they’re "just" cheering for Los Angeles FC, totally unaware that their entire identity as supporters effectively ended the very first moment they stood shoulder-to-shoulder with that crowd on the terraces.
The thing I just can't stomach is how those few people end up tarnishing the reputation of the whole group by using our imagery and our image in the media, all while the vast majority of us are out here fighting an uphill battle against a rigged system and facing constant repression.

Honestly, watching the constant bickering on this forum lately, you’d almost think I was reading a thread full of fifteen-year-olds instead of grown adults who have been showing up here for over a hundred guest posts...🙄

So, an acquaintance of mine was out at the stadium today with his son watching the junior match, and he tells me this little group of mercenaries—not that we’re naming names here, obviously—were sitting literally three feet away from our messy bunch, basically playing bodyguard...🙂

Jacob Price23 said:Is this what they’re posting over on the local grassroots Facebook page?

Alert: Local PD is already moving in to break up signature collectors at a few different spots, even though they were just on private property and haven't broken a single law! They’ve actually gone as far as making arrest threats! Volunteers, please stay safe and watch your backs.

Once they start deploying the riot squads onto the streets, things are really going to get interesting.😉

wanderingtrucker9 said:It’s pretty much the same over by my place in Trešnjevka / Remiza; there are tons of those trashed Blue Jays graffitis all over the electrical boxes.

Man, if I could just catch one of them out in the wild 😍😍... 😍

darkcyclist212 said:Personally, I feel like this physical petition carries a bit more weight.
Speaking of which, I totally blanked on asking the guys down at the coffee shop in Chicago earlier today—is an online petition actually considered equal to one done with a physical clipboard? It’s just something I need to nail down before I start rounding people up for signatures, so I can let them know ahead of time that they'll need to grab a pen and sign by hand.
I mean, obviously, nobody is going to count double votes, but I'd just like to know for my own peace of mind regarding the validity of it all.

I'm wondering about this too... maybe someone could weigh in before the group starts out collecting signatures...

Here’s the report those hooligans were filling out... since the image above is a bit of a blurry mess, I figured I’d just type it out for you all:
"Pursuant to the authority granted under Section 10, Subsection 1, Item 6, and Subsection 2 of the Federal Law on Preventing Disorder at Sporting Events, and due to violations committed under Section 4 of said Act, the following is being held:"
They certainly put a lot of effort into making sure their paperwork was looking sharp...

Jesse Campbell said:I’ve got this nagging feeling that the higher-ups are basically trying to blacklist everyone in the East Coast supporters' section right before the big European matchups start.

"During the league meeting, the match delegate and the security chief from the Department of Justice can evaluate the situation at the stadium and within the city to decide if a game should be halted entirely. Depending on the overall circumstances—specifically, how many spectators are behaving inappropriately—they can opt to eject individuals, clear out a specific section or stand, or even shut down the entire match altogether.""

They’ve still got three games left plus the cup final before the season wraps up... which is just enough time to "clean out" the stands before those European fixtures kick off. Honestly, the whole thing feels like a targeted setup designed specifically to mess with us... you really have to wake up and see what's happening.

Sam Sullivan58 said:I honestly don't get why everyone keeps heading toward the Los Angeles entrance instead of using the Jackson's gate. There aren't even half as many security guards or crowds over there, so you can just breeze right in like a VIP in a couple of minutes. When I came through the Los Angeles side last time, I was stuck waiting thirty minutes just to get to the east section, whereas with Jackson's, I was sitting in my seat almost immediately.

Well, at some of those previous games, that specific entrance was pretty much always locked tight, so people ended up wasting a ton of time walking all the way around just to find themselves staring at a closed door, so I guess we'll just have to wait until tomorrow to see if they actually decide to leave it open this time...

Honestly, we don't need more empty promises or flashy distractions; what we really need is just a little more common sense and some actual brainpower applied to the situation...

Jonathan Anderson11 said:They actually went after him for it, too—mocking him because of his disability.
That’s just bottom-of-the-barrel behavior. Absolute trash.

Please, tell me this isn't true...😲

George Garcia8 said:I was hoping someone could just walk me through this one... I think I have a decent handle on things, and I’ve heard—and seen mentioned here—that the guy from the North, working with those extremist groups, just went ahead and lifted all the bans.
Setting aside the whole blacklist issue for a second, which isn't really the point right now, how on earth is it even possible in a country governed by the rule of law for some individual with zero official authority to just nullify valid court injunctions issued by the Rhode Island courts?!?!? If that’s actually what happened, we’re talking about a criminal offense and blatant corruption by whoever let it slide... and honestly, I don't get why there hasn't been a massive public outcry over this if it's true, because it sounds like straight-up criminality... so, if anyone more informed out there could shed some light, I'd appreciate it. thanks

My take is that he didn't actually overturn any court orders, but rather just scrubbed them from his own internal blacklist... since you don't technically need a judge's permission to decide who goes on your own private list, though again, that's just my hunch because I'm not entirely sure if that crew was actually facing formal legal bans to begin with...

I have to wonder, do they just let some middle schooler handle the copywriting around here?

It’s actually written by Igor Peternel 🙄

analogstag16 said:They really could have brought up the whole "tent" situation while they were at it, considering they wrote that entire article on the subject.

Well, here it is:

Anyway, did anyone actually happen to be inside?
I heard a little rumor that Mark is currently stuck in there 🤣 heheh
