I was thinking maybe the Nike Swoosh on Skittles t-shirt is a protection symbol, not his sweat?
Could be trouble for the "lathered up" group.

Also, this is LA. I'm sure there is a few companies with armored stretch limos and there own car service centre with fuel pumps. Maybe even those stretch HumVee limos. Wouldn't they be good vehicles for patrolling the non blocked streets?
