George Floyd protesters swarm Beverly Hills and LOOT high-end stores on Rodeo Drive as 500 people are arrested in LA in scenes eerily similar to the 1992 race riots that left the city in ruins

Stores from mom-and-pops to high-end retailers in ritzy Beverly Hills were looted, and in downtown Los Angeles, protesters sprayed graffiti and torched police cruisers while police shot rubber bullets into crowds and were seen beating demonstrators with batons.

LA Mayor Eric Garcetti announced a curfew in downtown LA starting 8p.m. Saturday through to 5:30a.m. Sunday, in desperate efforts to restore some order as he urged both law enforcement and protesters to 'take a deep breath and step back for a moment'.

Garcetti said he would stop short of calling for the activation of the National Guard.

One other thought here.

There is ONE officer who could take over command and maybe put this down.

They are the highest elected law enforcement official in the land.

The county Sheriffs.

This is nothing but the democrapper voter base out on a lark. Mixed in with maybe 3 Soros anarchists. Good clean minority fun. Gib em some space.

As proof——-heard any democraps condemning directly the communists/anarchists involved? crickets. This is fund raising for federal dollars and a pandering to the base.

You are correct about the insurance. I used to turn it down every year on my rentals. In a town of 600 I didn’t worry about civil unrest. It’s not an expensive addition though.

There is if you bought the coverage, which you get a letter about every year. I got the letters for the 20 years I owned my rentals.

Stores, who cares? Rich companies will write off the loss and build a new store. But let the mob burn some celebrity mansions or a movie studio and see what the response is.

They aren’t George Floyd protesters - they’re opportunistic thugs.

They will want bailouts from the commie dims. Build our plantation sized homes back for us, free with bailout dollars.

Well they can’t go to Charleston Heston to ask to borrow his firearms this time. For the record Heston did not loan them out saying they did not have the proper training to use the weapons.

They will still blame Trump for some odd reasoning.

Poor Bill Maher - when he leaves his white liberal elite mansion all his favorite haunts will be burned to the ground... Not burned yet? Give 'em time... thugs might want to destroy the evidence ... and they might have missed some of the loot...

Do white liberal 'elites' deserve this for providing lame excuses and cover for these types of violent antics over the years? Did they really think this type of violence was Selma?

Seems liberal 'elites' didn't care when it was only the stores and neighborhoods of the poor and middle class burning... Bill Maher - did YOU care when it wasn't YOUR lifestyle on the line?

What a hoot.

Burn baby burn? Not so cool anymore - right liberal elites? My suggestion? Call of the 'peaceful' protest that the thugs are piggybacking off of...

Citizens should sue cities that tell their cops to stand down ..

If we wanted to end looting all we’d have to do is get an American flag, a bunch of We Support Trump signs - then start looting. Democrat mayors would have us arrested in a New York Minute...
