From a story in the Santa Monica Outlook, Thursday, July 11, 1996:

[Capt. Richard Odenthal is with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's West Hollywood Station.]

"The Sheriff's Department, Odenthal said, first learned of the rally in a 9:15 a.m. phone call from a federal police officer, who said the Voice of Citizens Together organizers were setting up a speaker system in the parking lot of the federal enclave, but no trouble was anticipated."


....
"The Pro-187 people chose to move to the corner and that may have precipitated some of this."
