Garlic warfare in Silver Lake

Blogger Francis Stokes was schmoozing with the enviro-types of Green Drinks on the Edendale Grill patio when they came under attack from above. He posts:

Apparently Silver Lake’s rise to cultural hotspot has not been without some friction from the local community. At one point while we were drinking, I heard a rustle in the trees above and we were showered with something from above that looked like ice cubes.

Garlic. Some disgruntled neighbor, upset about the noise, was hocking handfuls of fresh garlic at us. Also, a plastic Winnie-the-Pooh toy, that would’ve smarted if it landed on a person instead of a potted plant. The assault came in several waves and we all got a little jittery. One clove even landed in my B&B. It was like Lebanon. Except, you know, with garlic instead of bombs.

And the FBI calls us the radicals. You won’t read about this appalling attack in the mainstream media, the so-called “news” outlets won’t even touch it. Cowards. But it happened, my friends – I was there.
