Not sure if it's my imagination but it seems a lot quieter today. There've been a couple fires but nothing huge, only a couple instances of looting (one interrupted by protesters with some sense for optics!), and not much else.
The bazillion cops is something (and maybe contributing to the relative quiet) but unfortunately no more scalping by police ponies. *sigh*
 
ICE protestors marched through LA right to where law enforcement has a blockade

They wave Mexico Flags right in the faces of law enforcement

They tagged “F*ck ICE” on almost every building as they walked here (caught on video)

It's all so performative. I would be impressed if someone started spraying the cops with a rifle or hurling IEDs at them, but this is all so pointless.
Agreed. Just faggot pussy larpers who know if they actually tried to be revolutionary they’d be put down with a swiftness and their comrades would all be rounded up like farm animals.
 
are you're telling me Californians are so retarded they're making the mental calculation:

having to turn on a fan < getting tear gassed and shot with fireworks

:story:
A fan won't do shit when you've been dealing with 100+ temps all day. All that stored heat from the building just gets dumped into the inside air no matter how quickly you try and dump that shit out. Trust me, I used to live in SoCal and unless you've got AC you do not want to be indoors when the sun has gone down since your house stays almost as hot as it was during the day.
Laura Diaz used to be a super-hot anchor lady when she was young but then she got bad plastic surgery and now she looks like a half-melted chocolate Easter Bunny and has to dodge pepper bullets and bricks on the street like a rookie. So sad.
Sic semper latinas.
 
It is. He's basically lost all of his social circle and gets into Facebook fights with random people that go to his church. He still has his wife, but their marriage is dead. Contented, but still dead. That's the situation a lot of these rural/small town Dems are in, they alienate everyone around them by obnoxiously spouting the most bland, radlib talking points, and then sit on their high horse while they have no concept of what living in a Democrat controlled city is actually like. I think it's some combination of Hollywood social engineering and cold war propaganda that made them like this, but thats just my speculation.
Back in the 90’s, real wignats had a community. All my dad’s friends had bunkers and guns buried in their yard for future archaeologists to marvel over

Dems are just miserable people. They don’t drive ATV’s drunk to visit their fellow wignats’ cabins on summer vacation. When they drink, it’s gay shit like napa valley wine that burdens their souls with shame. They don’t have collections of paraphernalia of America’s glorious wars. I have bayonets from my dad that I have no fucking idea when or where they were issued. Democrats have a mythology that hippies were less of assholes than they were in real life.

It must suck to be an npc
 
Black on Hispanic crime stream
the Niggers have joined the fight ? I wouldn't have thought Blacks would really care that much given the fact most of them are born here and aren't under threat of deportation, guess they wanna steal some Jordans

that Burrito Muncher really showed those cops !
 
What is the point if the blockades, anyway? Where are they keeping the stupid anarchists away from?

I'd imagine if they have them set up in the right places it makes it easier to contain the rioters, so it's less about keeping them away from anything special, it limits their movement and ideally it'd make it easier for them to be rounded up even if the judge and prosecutor just drop all charges the next day since it's a blue shithole where crime is legalized.
 
I think that olds got the very briefest taste of legitimate, unbiased news in their childhood, with Cronkite taking off his glasses over the Kennedy assassination and all, and just had enough uncritical faith in compromised institutions that they assumed legacy media stayed like that forever.
I think that's it. When you hear boomers talk about political scandals, the first one they go to is Watergate, but they don't remember any of the context around it, let alone what Nixon did as president. Its the same thing with Gerald Ford, for them he's just a meme president who was an incompetent idiot that got into power through un-democratic means. In reality Ford was one of the only presidents in history to take a stance against Israel, and he actively attempted to deescelate tensions with the Soviet Union (among others), building rapport and laying the foundation of diplomacy with these countries for successive admins. The only conception of history boomers have is what was spoonfed to them through the TV screen.
