WEST COVINA, Calif. � Four men -- including the would-be groom -- have
been arrested for a marriage proposal stunt in which hundreds of
motorcycles blocked a Southern California freeway, authorities said.

The prospective groom and three of his friends were all booked for
investigation of misdemeanor public nuisance and participating in an
unlawful assembly. The 24-year-old groom, Hector Martinez of Covina, also
was booked for investigation of exhibition of speed, authorities said
Tuesday.

As many as 250 motorcycles stopped on the eastbound Interstate 10 in West
Covina on Jan. 27 so that Martinez could propose to his girlfriend. At one
point, a bike sent up a cloud of pink smoke.

The stunt, which lasted about two minutes, was captured on video and went
viral on the Internet.

"They made a spectacle of it," said Sgt. Kurt Stormes of the California
Highway Patrol. "It's a slap in the face of law enforcement, in general."

Martinez's bride-to-be accepted the proposal. She is not facing any
charges.

Stormes said investigators were able to find the men through social media.

"They bragged about it a lot," Stormes said of the bikers.

Three members of a rock band were each sentenced to probation last year
and 35 days of community service for blocking a freeway to promote their
music.

Barack Obama, reelected by the dumbest and most fearful people in the
history of the United States of America.

Eric Holder, racist black murdering United States Attorney General, still
has his job.

Nancy Pelosi, Democrat criminal, accessory before and after the fact to
improper vetting of Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama, a confirmed
felon using SSAN 042-68-4425, belonging to a dead man.

Obama ignored the brutal killing of an American diplomat in Benghazi, then
relieved American military officers who attempted to prevent said murder
in order to cover up his own ineptness.

Obama continues his goal of disarming America after known mentally
disturbed liberal Adam Peter Lanza killed 20 school children and 6 adults
in Sandy Hook Connecticut on December 14, 2012. Every single liberal
inspired and authored gun control law in existence failed to prevent this
tragedy.

How can you tell if a southern California freeway has been blocked?

That's not as bad as shutting down the freeway because a
nominally-suicidal jumper is hanging out on an overpass. It's
apparently his hobby. He did actually jump once, and the powers that be
awarded him prosthetic feet. He threatened to jump again afterward.
There was one cop who had developed the skill to talk him down each
time. Personally, I would have shut down the freeway and encouraged the
guy to JUMP NOW but take the feet off first so someone else could use them.

You're allowed to be crazy if you want, but do it on your own time, not
mine. I canceled the paper a couple of years ago, so don't know if he's
still around. I hope not.

This is a base calumny! Our freeways are rarely totally blocked, it
just looks that way sometimes. In general they're faster than surface
streets. What's annoying is that even if we doubled the freeway length
we'd only get rid of half the traffic :-(

When the loon was barricaded in Big Bear a couple of months ago they
shut down the exit roads for hours, even after the guy had been killed.
I've never seen a freeway blockage that bad.

Those were motorcyclists, possibly outlaws with guns. The cops only
shoot little old homeless ladies brandishing screwdrivers.
