[dropcap size=big]H[/dropcap]ollywood Forever hosted its 19th annual Día De Los Muertos event with more than 35,000 people in attendance. This year's theme celebrated Coatlicue (pronounced co-at-li-kw-eh), which loosely translates to "Mother of Gods." The event came to a close with performances by Panteón Rococó and Mexican Institute of Sound. The highlights of the event included the UNAM photo exhibition, the floating stage with Aztec dancers, and the breathtaking Bridge of Life after Death.

LAPD Officers Watched a Nearly $1 Million Metro Bus Get Lit On Fire. Why Didn’t They Do Something?

On social media, people were quick to criticize fans that participated in the celebrations. But few people questioned why the LAPD, a public agency with an annual budget of over $3 billion, stood around and waited until the bus was on fire before they did something. Or why the city wasn’t better prepared to handle public celebrations considering the same exact thing happened three years ago when the Dodgers won the World Series (again).
