I thought things were bad in Minneapolis. The New York Post reports about the full-on riots continuing into today against federal immigration enforcement in Los Angeles under the heading “LA Burning,”
Feds mobilize the National Guard as riots over immigration raids wreak havoc on Los Angeles.
The Post adds,
Protests over federal immigration raids continued to wreak havoc on Los Angeles Saturday with agents wearing riot gear reportedly using flash-bang grenades to clear crowds — as the federal government moves to mobilize the National Guard after claiming LAPD took two hours to respond Friday.
The Los Angeles Times reports,
The scene followed raids across Los Angeles on Friday that led to the arrests of 44 people on suspicion of immigration violations, and another on suspicion of obstructing justice.
A similar situation was brewing in lower Manhattan, New York City, today, but the local cops jumped on it fast enough it didn’t get out of hand.
Get ready, it’s the Summer of Love, 2025!
UPDATE by JOHN: This is what a real insurrection looks like:
Many videos of left-wing violence in LA have emerged in recent hours. The insurrectionists are well-organized and financed, with printed signs bearing the insignias of far-left groups. All rioters should be prosecuted to the maximum possible extent, but equally important, the funders of these violent extremists should be investigated and prosecuted. It has been reported that President Trump has called out the National Guard, but I don’t know whether that an actually happened yet. In any event, it is not enough. Restoring order after a day or two of rioting is only a start. Arrests and criminal prosecutions, and investigations and prosecutions of the organizers, are more important.
These people need to do long stretches in the federal pen, but the real problem is that they are tolerated if not openly supported by Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass and Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell.
