COMMENTS: Inconsequential Pigeons
For CBS' closer it seemed that Steve Hartman was gearing up for a fun feature on roller pigeons: "Once they are airborne they roll like gymnasts in the Cirque du Poleil," he punned. Just as we were watching the flock of rollers cavorting outside the Watts Tower in South Central Los Angeles, Hartman's Assignment America pulled the plug. Teaching neighborhood youth to raise rollers is Bobby Wilson's gang prevention program, Hartman explained. "Of course, what he does not realize is that the birds are inconsequential. It could be snakes or stamps and the kids would still respond to the real catalyst for change here…a human being who has been there and cares."
Fine, fine, fine. Now tell us about roller pigeons.
