Proclamation 23 The implementation of Proclamation 23 would have allowed the government to create a barrier to protect the citizens of Los Angeles, CA. This order was posited to the overseeing bodies of the local Los Angeles Government as tensions grew tighter between the lower class and the police force, the height of which peaked during the 1992 riots. The barrier itself was not specified as to what it would be or where it would be located.
History
The introduction of an idea for ultimate separation between extreme poverty and the rest of the city came about around the time that the race wars (Spring 1992) were becoming much more intense in the Southern California area. The idea was stated in several city council meetings but never actually constructed into a viable source for implementation. This means that even though it was designated with the term "Proclamation 23" it was a discussion topic only. The discussion revolved around the topic of "uncontrollable persistent violence" and the only way to prevent future incidents would be to take extreme action. Although the discussions never amounted to a written Proclamation proposal the archives of city council's meeting minutes reveals that a "barrier" would be created to separate the "problem areas" from the rest of the city.
