Looting at a sushi store in Los Angeles.
I just don't know how to classify this specimen.
His skin is too melanated to be Latinx, his nose bridge is too narrow to be Black.
Dominican or African mix? It'd be pretty funny nonetheless if Hispanics and Blacks fought over looting rights like in the last Riots.

Is there a chance that this costs Newsom his position? I mean can he somehow be deposed?
He can be impeached (never, ever going to happen with the State Assembly and Senate full of sycophantic democrats) or put up for another recall election (he already beat one in 2021 fresh off of locking everyone down during COVID while going out for fine dining anyway). The recall is more likely but still a very long shot, I don't actually know if he could be put up for it again.
 
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.

Sic semper latinas.
For those unaware, Los Angeles has several microclimates. The picture of palm trees swaying in the air while women roll around on skates is of Venice Beach, which has a much milder climate than inland areas. Downtown is right in the middle of the Basin, which due to being surrounded by mountains and hills becomes a stew of moisture, smog, and heat. The result is rather unpleasant summer weather from June to September. In fall, several heat waves can bring misery all the way through December, but Halloween is traditionally thought of as either the last hot night or first cold night of the year. If you are able to live near the ocean, especially South Bay, the weather is a lot better and living without A/C is actually viable. If on the other hand, you live in the valley, the north part of LA above the basin, or far to the east closer to the desert, it’s even more hot and frail people can actually die without air conditioning.
 
Santa Ana California, two protesters pray with a large cross as they face off line of police in OC



Fireworks continue to explode towards police in Santa Ana OC, as police fire tear gas, rubber bullets and pepper balls at protesters.



Unlawful Assembly DECLARED in Santa Ana OC CALIFORNIA.



Unlawful Assembly DECLARED in Santa Ana OC CALIFORNIA. Police drive in on Bearcat

 
Unless these guys start trying to shoot the cops and feds, I doubt we'll see lethal force used. Closest they've gotten is setting some cop cars on fire and throwing rocks at some ICE vehicles, but the dude that did that has already been ID'd and his ass is in hiding.
This is where we could learn from israel. When Palestinian kids throw rocks, they get ventilated

Newsom is literally rubbing this riot in Trump's face while directly gloating out in the open that he's untouchable, cannot be arrested, and that crime and destruction will continue. This is just business as usual for LA.
 
And one final stupid question before I pass out: The police aren't working with ICE. Why are people attacking the police? If the problem is with ICE, shouldn't they be targeting the ICE headquarters, or something?
I believe this was actually the plan and calling in the National Guard spoiled it. While LAPD is leashed by the mayor of LA, the National Guard has no one to pull punches in protecting the Federal buildings.
 
if this shit in LA goes on long enough is Lethal Force a possibility ? the Media reeing about some protestor getting killed could lead to Summer of Love 2
Oh god I hope so! I wonder what the lengthy rap sheet of the new Saint-to-Be is going to be. Pulmonary Floyd was, of course, the patron saint of counterfeit currency and Fentanyl. Will the new hero de jour be another thuggish junkie nigger? Or a poor, misunderstood MS-13-affiliated retired family man of five with more time spent in prison than in the world at large and a body count in the dozens and tattoos to match? Or a soy-faced beanpole white liberal granola who caught a pepper ball to the left eyeball and who had a clean criminal record except for that one arrest ten years ago when he broke a 3-year-old's tricycle in a fit of rage when she wouldn't give him a discount on lemonade because he was wearing a rainbow pin.
