Whether it’s George Floyd or ICE raids, the far left always seems to find an excuse for mayhem.
The city of Los Angeles is on fire. Once again, the progressive left has resorted to political violence – this time, using mass arrests of illegal aliens by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as an excuse. The Los Angeles Police Department was practically stood down, not allowed initially to help when the ICE facility was surrounded. The situation got so out of hand that the National Guard has now been deployed. If there was ever such a thing as a safe bet, this is it – that this orchestrated civil unrest will soon spread beyond Los Angeles and beyond California. In 2020, George Floyd died in an altercation with police in Minneapolis, MN. His death gave leftist extremists an excuse to loot, burn, and vandalize several American cities. This year, it looks like ICE is their latest scapegoat.
What is coming was inevitable from the moment President Donald Trump won the 2024 election. If not the ICE arrests, then some other event or Trump administration policy would have been overdramatized to produce the desired outcome.
A particularly insulting echo of 2020 is the claim coming from at least one elected Democrat that Los Angeles is experiencing “peaceful protests.” Federal agents are being attacked, cars spray painted and set on fire, and rocks hurled at ICE vehicles – but Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) is doing television interviews and – it must be said – lying through his teeth about what is transpiring. Appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press on June 8, Booker told Kristen Welker: “The reality is, we see peaceful protests launching in Los Angeles and, again, any violence against police officers should not be accepted – local…”

Newsom and Bass want riots. Riots are an integral part of how their party dominates society.
I sure hope he does this time, and that includes going after the leaders, not just getting control of the streets.
And this time use geofencing like they did on the J6 political prisoners.
I guarantee you the rioters aren’t smart enough to leave their cell phones at home.
Reminds me of this from the BOOK Doctor Zhivago...
Yurii’s talk with Pogorevshikh on the train to Moscow...
Part 2, chapter 5: 16
Imperturbable as an oracle, he prophesied disastrous
upheavals in the near future. Yurii Andreievich inwardly agreed
that this was not unlikely, but the calm, authoritative tone in
which this unpleasant boy was making his forecasts angered
him.
“Just a moment,” he said hesitantly. “True, all this may happen.
But it seems to me that with all that’s going on — the chaos, the
disintegration, the pressure from the enemy — this is not the
moment to start dangerous experiments. The country must be
allowed to recover from one upheaval before plunging into
another. We must wait till at least relative peace and order are
restored.”
“That’s naive,” said Pogorevshikh. “What you call disorder is
just as normal a state of things as the order you’re so keen
about. All this destruction — it’s a natural and preliminary stage
of a broad creative plan. Society has not yet disintegrated
sufficiently. It must fall to pieces completely then a genuinely
revolutionary government will put the pieces together and build
on completely new foundations.”
