Then it was probably some private citizen of some "importance".
My aunt goes to the hairdresser at the Four Seasons, "George" something or other, and he said that Oprah had rented out the entire top floor of the four seasons for her staff and crew and stylists, etc. Plus you had U2, Bruce Springsteen, Mellencamp, Stevie Wonder and all sorts of other big names performing today, so it seems like all of fameland is in town. Even Steve Carell was at that concert.
But with Leonsis in the mix, my guess is that it was just a bunch of really rich people who decided to exert their power of wealth on us little people. We're all used to politicians doing that, I guess they figured it was time we learned to accept their importance as well.
Rosie started the whole thing by saying nobody should be allowed to own a gun, and then hired a bodyguard with a concealed carry permit because she was famous and had threats on her family. Now it's just "we're rich, accept our motorcades and security details telling you where you can and can't be inside a public shopping center."
Fuck, is this Brazil or Mexico City?
