The most vital thing you can do right now is spread this message offline to normies. There is no "unrest", there's a protest. It has 400 people. LA does worse when the Lakers come in 3rd in a season.

I’ve long felt that California is both for better and for worse the most consummately American state, but tonight it feels like it’s definitely for better

yes, public perception of movements does matter, managing and organizing participants does matter, though i think some are overstating the point a bit. but, like, it is not a riot! it is not mass violence! so what is the influence on public perception when you speak like it is?

per local news, one of the first people arrested today was an american citizen filming ice staging near the home depot this morning, whose boyfriend says he heard ice say "go for the ones with the phones." her whereabouts are currently unknown

Anyone saying, with any seriousness, that there is rioting in Los Angeles gets an immediate block. Trust me, if LA was rioting, you would know.

brain cooked in the republican fever swamps so long they allow themselves to be convinced that people refusing to leave their communities and kicking tear gas fired at them back in the direction of federal agents of the donald trump administration are "riots." clown shit. we do not need tim nichols

irresponsible for local news to speak at length to anyone in a political position in federal law enforcement about this tbh. why would you give any credence to the us attorney for the central district appointed by trump lol

The overall level of civilian lawlessness in the city tonight is a tiny fraction of what you’d see after a typical Dodgers playoff win. Could not possibly be more obvious that this is just something they’ve been dying to do, and they couldn’t bother to wait for a plausible pretext.

anyway do just want to highlight the ingenuity of la protesters, tagging the asphalt in the street so news helicopter shots all day showed lapd, lasd, and ice milling about armed and aimless over big text reading "FUCK ICE FUCK KKKOPS"

my guess no one really asked for is that nothing really will happen and the administration will look foolish and weak and wasteful and it will be remembered primarily as another wave in the erosion of our civ-mil separation norms a week before a disgusting military parade in the capital

my opinion on the question of whether or not dhs is deliberately courting an incident in southern california for politics reasons is that it is extremely hard to predict or explain the behavior of hostile dipshits

The city had to pay out millions of taxpayer dollars in lawsuits due to police misconduct during the George Floyd protests. They were so excited to use all their dumb military cosplay that they tear gassed a fucking Erewhon. www.latimes.com/california/s...
