The annual The Hundreds Labor Day block party has been canceled. The popular events brings out many from near and far to share with the festivities but this year due to the Los Angeles Police Department and other complaining neighbors it has been brought to a halt. The hundreds reported on their website:

From how it appears to everyone on our end, LAPD has it out for us. And all because of 1 whiny voice that didn’t have a prom date in high school so he decided to ruin the fun for thousands of people. LAPD has refused to listen to our side, although we’ve told them we can get a petition with hundreds of signatures in support of this event. Our City Councilman is ignoring us as well. At this point, we have our hands tied behind our back.

Be sure to hit up your local men of power to help solve this problem and bring back the block party next year. Click the link below to find out where and who to contact.
