MacArthur Park is not a war zone. It is a playground, a picnic spot, a community spot.

MacArthur Park is not a war zone. It is a playground, a picnic spot, a community spot. But you wouldn’t know that looking at it now. Why send armed agents to terrorize a community?

I had the unfortunate experience of having to visit an office near MacArthur park decades ago. It was a scary place then. I can’t imagine it now.

I dare Swalwell to go there alone and unarmed and have a picnic.

Whenever I hear of MacArthur Park, I think of the song...Richard Harris originally did it, but it had many others including perhaps the most famous done by Donna Summers. Juxtapose that to what MacArthur Park is and the memory becomes a nightmare.

‘The narrative’ being fanned in the media is that these are terrifying masked men abducting people who are never seen again. Some claim the public has the right to fight for their lives if ‘abducted’ by these masked men.

So if the men aren’t masked, their families are terrorized. But if they wear masks, then the public claims they are kidnappers and some of those people claim they are so terrifying, unidentifiable as LEOs, potentially 3rd party bad actors and therefore some of the krazies say the public should be able to use lethal force to prevent ‘abduction’.

Recall when Newscum’s owner showed up in Frisco? The day or two previous all the street bums were cleared out and streets scrubbed of poop — human poop. Just so the CCP lead could be shown about the city and marvel how pretty it was.
As soon as he left the bums were allowed back and it is again a trash heap.

That is exactly the same process here when the LA DEI hires (i.e., both mayor and FDept clowns) took piccies of the park. Ordinarily, like a month ago, it is a trash heap with regular gang shootings and raving loons following little girls all around — little girls belonging to those parents stupid enough to vote blue and then go to that park.

Same game being played on the “EpsteinList”, BTWay. OK, how about a book with names in it? Nope, that is not a list. How about a Rolledex? Nope, that is not a list.

HOMELESS——DRUGS-—OTHER CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR.

[politicket]

Say what? MacArthur park is home to drug dealers, addicts, homeless, and illegals.

Nobody - and I mean nobody - from a normal family would go there, or let their kids go there.

American citizens can’t tolerate and will not tolerate being systematically displaced economically in the only country they are legally allowed to live and work in.

It was the actions of Democrats that created the war grounds across America by throwing the gates of America wide open, allowing in all types or criminals and the criminally insane, with impunity.

I wanted to post that the other day but the timing was bad.

And I thought it melted in the dark. 😄

Los Angeles leaders want to restore MacArthur Park. The challenge is making it last

[MinorityRepublican]

According to a video by someone who lives in L.A., MacArthur Park is a “no-go” zone.

I remember that. I also remember how he compared what he did to how one straightens up and cleans one's home when guests are coming over.

Here's the problem, Governor. You are paid in taxes to keep the city clean ALWAYS, not only when your benefactors come to town. And by the way, you suck.

…and the responses to Swalwell on X didn’t disappoint.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

This is MacArthur Park.

Real IDs, please!

Thank you, Mr. Griffin!

I don’t leave home without my wallet and the Real ID in it.
