McDonald's Looted During Juneteenth Celebrations at Leimert Park in Los Angeles

A large group of "rowdy teens" were filmed looting and smashing up a McDonald's at Leimert Park in Los Angeles during Juneteenth celebrations on Monday.

MULTIPLE VIDEOS AT LINK............

A stampede was also triggered during the nearby Juneteenth music festival in Leirmert Park over false fears a shooting had broken out.

The Juneteenth Festival was canceled immediately thereafter.

From FOX LA, "Group of looters take cash register from McDonald's in Leimert Park": The search is on for a group of rowdy teens who trashed a McDonald's restaurant in Leimert Park.

Juneteenth in Leimert Park was supposed to be a day of fun and unity – and for the most part, it absolutely was.

But blocks away from the peaceful festivities, a McDonald's franchise got hit by a group of young people going inside and trashing the place. In a cell phone video, screaming and yelling can be heard in the McDonald's near West 43rd Street and Crenshaw Boulevard as the raucous suspects rip the cash register out of the machine. In another video, a young suspect is seen walking out of the restaurant with the cash register.

In a video shared to social media, a teen smashes the cash register into the ground and the group of looters started grabbing money. FOX LA said only one teen was placed in custody in connection to the incident.

As I reported on Monday, this year's Juneteenth celebrations (like every year's Juneteenth celebrations) were marked by mass shootings throughout the country which left dozens injured and multiple dead.

Community activist Morris "Big Money Griff" Griffin told the California Reparations Task Force earlier this year that the only way to stop black youth from looting was "reparations."

"There's only one thing that would stop our children from busting into these liquor stores, there's only one thing that would stop our kids from busting into these jewelry stores, stealing watches and jewelry, and that's reparations," Big Money Griff said.

Slavery damaged this country in ways far greater than for the CW we fought for.

Slavery became history over 150 years ago. For many decades thereafter we had no such societal decay. Cultural marxism, surfacing in the 60s, has done far more damage than anything else.

"There's only one thing that would stop our children from busting into these liquor stores, there's only one thing that would stop our kids from busting into these jewelry stores, stealing watches and jewelry, and that's reparations," Big Money Griff said.

Or armed security and a few dead "teens" as a warning to others.

I'm reminded of the infamous, idiotic ramblings of Celine Dion back in 2005, talking about looting after hurricane Katrina. Another incredibly rich imbecile.

"You know, some people are stealing and they’re making a big deal out of it. Oh, they’re stealing 20 pair of jeans or they’re stealing television sets. Who cares? They’re not going to go too far with it. Maybe those people are so poor, some of the people who do that they’re so poor they’ve never touched anything in their lives. Let them touch those things for once."

She was one of the first to have piracy protection on her CDs.

Anyone who takes advice from “Big Money Griff” is a fool.

LBJ wrecked the black family unit with his “Great Society” programs. Add to that the collapse of American industry - no longer any decent jobs for inner city folks.

That’s the perfect storm. Now, here’s the really scary thing. Even if we started tomorrow (which we surely won’t), this mess will take at least a decade to fix.

No, “slavery” didn’t cause things like this. Decades on decades of race grievance pimping crafting a sub-demographic population of perpetually aggrieved, entitled, angry and irresponsible pukes did.

Slavery is just one excuse the race grievance pimps employ.

I’ve never seen stories like this about Juneteenth celebrations in Texas where they have been happening every year since 1865.

“The Juneteenth Festival was canceled immediately thereafter.”

They canceled the Juneteenth Festival?

Who is “they”?

How can the most important holiday in Deep State history be allowed to be canceled? Doesn't seem right.

Isn’t that what Juneteenth is about?

Reparations and “getting resources?”

Here in NY, never heard of Juneteenth as a kid in the 70s and 80s. Moved away for a long time, and by the mid 2000s, had begun to hear about it, in a small way.

Really "took off" with government support in the last 2-3 years.

Once they noticed Trump scheduled a rally on it, that’s all it took. Trump even takes credit for it being a Federal Holiday.

Looting is a racist term, it’s been replaced with “reparation-seeking behavior”
