Who is rioting in downtown L.A., demonstrators or habitual agitators?
KTLA ^ | 06/11/2025 | Josh Dubose

Posted on 06/11/2025 6:55:48 AM PDT by BenLurkin

On Sunday, L.A. Police Chief Jim McDonnell highlighted the level of violence police have battled, from a Molotov cocktail that hit an officer to two motorcyclists reportedly ramming skirmish lines to cinderblocks smashed into rocks, passed around and lobbed at police and commercial-grade fireworks launched at the force.

“That can kill you,” McDonnell emphasized.

The night of June 9 also devolved into a stretch of five Waymo driverless taxis on North Los Angeles Street near Arcadia Street tagged with graffiti and lit on fire, sending flames and clouds of toxic black smoke into the air.

“These are people who are all hooded up, they’ve got a face mask on,” the chief said. “They’re the people who do this all the time, get away with whatever they can [and] go from one civil unrest situation to another using similar tactics. Some would call them anarchists, but they’re people we run across routinely, city to city; it’s what they do. Even more disgusting [is] that many people doing this come in from other places just to hurt people and to cause havoc.”

As of late afternoon Tuesday, police said that nearly 200 people had been arrested on various charges.

Just before 9 p.m., LAPD’s Central Division said in a post to X that “mass arrests are being initiated” for curfew violations.

And they are actively aided and abetted by Democrats. They're Antifa, and they've been doing this for more than ten years. They are the "Occupy" movement.

Crossing state lines to riot is a federal crime.

Wow, the Police Chief really gets it…
“These are people who are all hooded up, they’ve got a face mask on,” the chief said. “They’re the people who do this all the time, get away with whatever they can [and] go from one civil unrest situation to another using similar tactics. Some would call them anarchists, but they’re people we run across routinely, city to city; it’s what they do. Even more disgusting [is] that many people doing this come in from other places just to hurt people and to cause havoc.”
But only 200 arrested? This is a serious problem. That is pussy-footing around and totally unserious. It should be 10,000 arrested. These antifa anarchists have been allowed to grow in strength the past decade because they do not get arrested or, if they are arrested, they are immediately released on OR or a minimal fine paid by an ultra liberal organization.

Why haven’t these networks been destroyed, disbanded or degraded? Why hasn’t RICO been applied to them? Why aren’t the funding sources identified and blocked?

These people are teachers, and professors. That is why the riots are starting in June and not April. These riots are planned. LA is no different today than it was a month ago. But the schools were still open. Many of these people are DNC organizers. Many are criminals out on parole. Many are kids. But most are intelligent leftists who grew up in upper middle class suburban homes, went to college, got dead-end jobs. And do this for fun.

These guys rap themselves in Mexican and Palestinian flags but they are not from Mexico or Palestine. They are from San Bernardino. They are from White Plains. Some are paid to be there. Others don’t need the pay.

They need a large group of people to protest something. Then the masked skate board crowd hide in the actually peaceful stooges, and cause whatever damage they can. They have lawyers at the ready to release them if they get arrested. They have judges at the ready to release them if they get arrested. This is well orchestrated. Its not a movement. Its a show. Its all fake including and especially the news coverage.

A. Friend of ours says there are ads on the dark web for these agitators offering $5000-$7000 per week.

They get the dozen or so leaders and it ends quick.

Easy to remove masks from dead people. In GA if someone is attacking you with a Molotov cocktail you can legally shoot them.

200 dead and 10,000 in TIGHT cuffs would be better.

Yes, long prison terms for 20 or 30 leaders would end it.

But the FBI was too busy running down J6 people, abortion protesters, parents speaking at school board meetings, and Catholics.

Not sure it is the same police chief, but one of them said some of the funding is coming from one of the Walmart bimbos. These people are deranged. I’d love to see that proven, the money traced back and attached to someone having been killed or seriously wounded so they put her in prison.

I noticed the group protesting in Seattle, mostly young WHITE a..holes. Product of our education system I guess, messed up further by drugs and social media. Arresting is a good approach, but arrest and release is not. Prosecution and hard time would be the best.

Because these people are the Sturmabteilung, doing exactly what the Party wants them to do. They’re building up to another Kyle Rittenhouse moment, hoping it goes their way this time.

But if it doesn’t, they won’t give up. They never give up. They’ll just go into hiding for a year or two, and then reemerge with a different name, different signs, and a different cause célèbre, but always the same goal: to overthrow civilization, so that they can rule the ruins.

PAID AGITATERS. Bet a dollar to a donut that the Nazi Gyeorgi Soros is paying for this LA circus.

“overthrow civilization, so that they can rule the ruins.”

Same MO as the Democrats. The only difference is the Dems got elected (often fraudulently) and these street thugs are home-grown. But they are two peas in a pod, both with the same objective — reduce the USA to ruins and rule over the rubble.
