Sorry to spoil the "fun", but that's just AJ being his typical fear-mongering con-artist self.
Even while his ignorance shows clearly (about mid-way, the "story" about "Pier 57" has the tagline title "MarshallPlan...er, Law" captioned at the bottom. He and his staff look like uneducated buffoons.
He assembled a barrage of various local TV News clips, taken out of context, and concocts this fantasy claim, yet again.
Heck one of the clips even had the female reporter on location talking about the "Y2K" revelers!!! How hilarious!! A clip from 1999 being used to "scare" people.
Humorous, but pathetic at the same time.......because people buy into his hogwash.edit on Fri 27 January 2012 by ProudBird because: (no reason given)

do you think the things you guys are saying about jones haven't been said countless times already, in every single other thread where his name comes up?
I don't understand why people jump at the opportunity to attack the messenger EVERY SINGLE TIME he comes up, no matter how verifiable the subject matter...
Somebody mentioned alex jones? ATTACK!

Whats even funnier is the link in the op talking about sports arena's. You do know where that came from right? There is a law in Florida that has been on the books since like the 1970's that requires sports arenas to be used as homeless shelters in the off season. This is just now coming back into the light in Florida as several law makers are asking questions as to why the law is not being followed.
Yet instead of doing research, some paranoid loon decides to drop the term homeless and insert the words detention / relocation camps.
Please, someone, post pictures of the LAX area in question. Please identify the source of the information.

The Wiki source makes my case for me, brilliantly!!
The "Pier 57" incident occurred in....>drum roll please
Detention center
About one year after the NYCTA vacated the pier, Pier 57 was temporarily utilized as a detention center during the 2004 Republican National Convention, when approximately 1,200 anti-RNC protesters were arrested and sent to a makeshift detention/processing center at Pier 57. Over 1,800 were arrested during the entire event. Medical activists reportedly treated many people held at Pier 57 for chemical burns, rashes, and infections that resulted from direct, prolonged exposure to the motor oil, asbestos, and other contaminants from its days as a bus garage.
Future
Since 2004, the pier has been completely disused. Proposals for future usage have included an extension of the Chelsea Piers sports complex or Leonardo at Pier 57, an Italian cultural center operated by Cipriani S.A..
