Los Angeles is under siege as protesters set fire to driverless cars and authorities rain down a hail of rubber bullets on demonstrators as they march against President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal migrants.
Horrifying scenes showed Waymo cars erupting into flames and emitting toxic gases as rioters chained themselves to furniture and created blockades to grind Downtown Los Angeles to a complete halt on Sunday night as violence stretched into a third day.
Trump sent in 2,000 National Guard troops and placed 500 Marines on standby, while the LAPD has authorized the 'use of less lethal munitions' to regain control of the city.
The conflict has sparked a war of words between Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom, who accused him of intentionally inflaming tensions.
Trump hit back with a Truth Social post on Sunday demanding both Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass apologize for the LA riots, insisting those involved are not 'peaceful protesters' as the duo had claimed, but instead 'troublemakers and insurrectionists.'
Extraordinary vision captured the moment these rioters set fire to the Waymos and celebrated the carnage by dancing on the roof of cars and waving Mexican flags high above the flames.
'Burn, burn, burn,' the protesters cheered.
At least five Waymo self-driving cars were set alight and vandalized, prompting an indefinite shutdown of Los Angeles St north of Arcadia, and south of Alameda amid safety concerns about the lithium batteries.

Getting worse and worse

Police cruisers pelted by large rocks as officers take shelter in the underpass in Los Angeles

I’m surprised the Antifa types haven’t resorted to firearms and live rounds.
Was watching Fox Live on YouTube. Local reporter. Asking why ICE was going after law-abiding people. Switched to Newsmax2...
Ironically, I was checking tickets an hour ago, but I won't be anywhere near the front lines.
As for what the AP touted as 'quiet' a few hours ago...
Let it burn.
LAPD is useless.
Consequences of ‘sanctuary state’ so elites have people to ‘wipe their as**s’.
Newscum hasn’t a leg to stand on.
The large rocks they were throwing off the overpass would count as deadly force.
I think it will TAKE shooting - and people dead ON BOTH SIDES - before LA will stand down. And I don’t think the Mexican flag-waving people in LA realize most of the country will not blink an eye - particularly after the protestors kill some folks in the National Guard.
Maybe we should have let it burn in January. IJS…
I’ve been watching that.
Where are the Marines Trump sent out?
Oh and speaking of which...Maxine Waters was on camera. She said she went up to a Marine and asked if he would shoot her? I say if Trump gives that Marine orders to do so BLAST AWAY.
LA traffic is bad enough without all this. Not to even mention possible deaths and injuries and the impact on businesses and property.
IMO what is needed is police technology to incapacitate mobs like this without shooting and killing them. Something that knocks them out cold and the police just scoop them up and take them to jail.
I wish we could start an initiative to kick CA out of the union. That might let them know what we think of this lawless crap.
We’ve got tasers. We just don’t have anybody with the will to use them.
Haiti or Nigeria might be safer.
Like those US veterans returning from Middle East war zones and then getting mugged in a US city the next night.
Really obvious law broken——blocking a thoroughfare or highway.
Those BLM ones that sat down on the entrance ramps of freeways were breaking US laws but were let go as “free speech” examples.
That lenience leads to this.
Martial law and curfew and arrest these anarchists and put them in out door camps and instantly send the illegals undocumented out of the country!
They are just letting people on the 101 overpass do anything they want - they are throwing down fire bombs and concrete boulders - taking no action at all.
Just announce that nobody will be charged for running over somebody who is blocking a road.
