‘Trump is disgusting’ written in sky over Rose Parade

Two Pasadena police officers inspect a vehicle on Colorado Blvd on the route of the Rose Parade in Pasadena, Calif., Thursday, Dec. 31, 2015.

CBS News said an Alabama businessman, Stan Pate, was behind the airborne protest targeting Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, over the heads of the hundreds of thousands of visitors at the New Year’s Day event.

Authorities said the parade would be held under unprecedented security, although there were no known threats.

Before you kick back and watch the Rose Bowl, the 127th Rose Parade will go down in Pasadena, Calif. Welcome the new year with a parade of flowers, music, sports and more!

City News Service reports the victim had been jogging with a group called Godfather Sean’s Rose Parade Run, which has run the parade route annually for 14 years. The political message was written before Iowa and Stanford faced off in the 102nd Rose Bowl.

The Grand Marshal for the 2016 Rose Parade will be award-winning filmmaker Ken Burns.

A CBS reporter interviewed Mr Pate after the parade, who said he considered the billionaire candidate to be despicable, and that “this is just the start”.

Despite the prospect of overnight temperatures as low as the mid-30s, enthusiastic fans began planting seats, blankets and even air mattresses to camp out along the 5 1/2-mile route Thursday, with many gathering around heaters and barbecues after nightfall.

The Rose Parade 2016 them is “Find Your Adventure”. The Los Angeles Lakers will have a float titled “Every Second is an Adventure”, and “The Bachelor” television series will have a float depicting a romantic date on an exotic beach.

Danny Chan, a pastor with the Eagle Rock Seventh-day Adventist Church, said he expected upward of 150 people, mostly families with children and teens, to attend from his congregation.

Security on the ground for the parade in Pasadena, north of Los Angeles, had been tight.

On Thursday, Chan said he had already noticed a number of stepped-up measures, including extra patrols and more surveillance cameras.

One of the marching bands is scheduled to be the Plymouth-Canton Educational Park Marching Band, which earlier this year was named the Flight I state champion at the Michigan Competing Band Association at Ford Field in Detroit. Sure, it is extremely over the top, but did you really think that we were going to get something different for a float celebrating this show?

“We are making history together!”
