LA’s vandalism clean-up gets a hand from some protesters

Susan Jekarl, a graphic designer from Glendale, was marching against Trump’s immigration crackdown on Sunday when she saw some of her fellow protesters spray-painting storefronts in Little Tokyo.

So she contacted a few organizers, who reached out to business owners, along with the Japanese American Museum, to offer volunteer clean-up services. Many accepted, she said.

While scrubbing nail polish remover pads against the window of a sushi restaurant on Tuesday, Jekarl said the majority of protesters were focused on stopping deportations in their community, not sowing chaos

“People are singing, people are dancing, people are helping each other clean their eyes out from pepper spray,” she said. “The idea that we’re all rioting violently is just BS.”

“ “People are singing, people are dancing, people are helping each other clean their eyes out from pepper spray,” she said. “The idea that we’re all rioting violently is just BS”

Anyone who is blocking traffic by standing in a road or. not dispersing when told you by LEO’s is rioting.

The overwhelming number of people arrested for J6 walked through already open doors, taking selfies as they stayed between the velvet tourist ropes in the rotunda and then walked out. The FBI tracked them down at their homes across the country and arrested them, pressuring them into leading guilty to lesser offenses than the many possible. Many were jailed.

Speaker Johnson, where are the 14,000 hours of Capitol videotape that you promised would be released after you were named speaker? I despise the Republicans in Congress perhaps more than the Democrats. Republicans have the ability to let America know what really happened on J6 but they don’t.

“The idea that we’re all rioting violently is just BS”

The majority are rioting violently, and if you're against it, you should be out there trying to get them to stop, but you won't, which tells me you condone that behavior. And like a stupid girl, you're cleaning up their messes, which doesn't teach them a lesson. I feel sorry for any kids you ever have. You'll never teach them to take responsibility for their bad behavior.

They’re seeing the writing on the wall, they’ve dug their own graves, metaphorically speaking. They’re playing the sympathy card, but it is far too late. They should ever have believed their handlers. Every single illegal alien is fair game in the public eye now. Good going, idiotic followers so easily coaxed into biting the hand that fed you and your families.

Scraping paint off of glass your friends left is one thing. Did anyone offer to pay for damages, loss of business, loss of merchandise etc.

Let's hear you sing that tune.

“Helping each other clean their eyes out from pepper spray-”

Didn’t anyone realize that if you had not been participating in a violent riot you wouldn’t have been exposed to pepper spray in the 1st place, dumbass?

Getting paid for rioting, then getting paid for cleaning up?
