The riots have been going on for six days (today will make seven) and the guard was two days ago. The narrative the guard escalated this is not true.
Then why do we have reports about Bass circumventing normal police procedure?
Hypothetical: Ten protests, one is violent. "Mostly peaceful" is dismissive in my view.
I just saw a clip of two people blocking a black lady from leaving to go to work. She was mocked, "go to work." There are mom and pop shops that can't open because there is no foot traffic in these other nine protests. People aren't going to the local ACE if there's 30 immigrants outside on the street.
I made a light hearted remark about Denny's headache the other day. I'm not the only one saying that's where LA is heading right now. And, none of that was hypothetical. It has happened.
