“Should we give a damn about problems in LA?”
Just about every national trend starts in California and then goes mainstream because it gets written into scripts. Once it’s on TV as main plot, background or filler material, it grants permission for the rest of America to mimic them. If cars are being burned in California look, a year or two later, for cars to be alight in Peoria.
As racist as this sounds now, it will be mainstream thought once we have the problems France has. We must stop letting Muslims into the country. Radical or not, they’re the pine straw (fuel load) on the forest floor. Once the flames are started by the “radicals” then the entire fuel load will burn, taking civilization’s roots with it.
We can only live as civilized as our neighbors will allow. If a Caucasian woman doesn’t dare leave her house without a veil because she might be attacked and raped then she must step back into the ninth century just to buy groceries.

That used to be the case, but thankfully, no more. CA is a world unto itself now.
Let them try to torch cars in Texas or a few other places. That will last about a New York minute.
