      This is the story that fox news continues to force feed. We are at the “if I did, it was your fault” stage of abuse.

      Why did the democrats let this happen 😞

      They’re opposing the people opposing ICE. They’re supposed to be the opposition party, but all they ever seem to oppose seriously is the left.

        Can you show me where they’re opposing the people opposing ICE? Thus far, Newsom has been strongly critical of the crackdown, and the LA Mayor has only enforced a curfew in a single area of downtown where there was legitimate looting by opportunists - other protest sites are untouched by that policy.

        Please, explain.

          So, per your own comment, protests in that area are being suppressed by California law enforcement who are claiming “looting” as an excuse

          Also, per that recent incident where an LAPD officer said from a helicopter that they were taking pictures and would arrest protesters at their homes, it doesn’t seem like they’re going to limit their suppression activities to that one area

            ??? The mayor of LA, who has so far been against state escalation against the protests, indicated a small section of down town LA was under curfew because of opportunists looting. She was explicit that other protest sites were not being interfered with by LAPD.

            I don’t see why we wouldn’t believe her in this case given her history and the context.

            Re: helicopter thing, yes that comment was apparently made but hit me up when something happens. Very easy to make yourself upset when you get to invent scenarios to be mad about.

            No, it isn’t, a section of downtown only where opportunists were looting.

            Whoever downvoted this, heres proof: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2025/jun/11/la-protests-los-angeles-curfew-ice-california-governor-donald-trump-us-politics-latest-updates-news

            Literally in the byline: Mayor Karen Bass issues curfew for one square mile area in downtown, beginning at 8pm local time on Tuesday until 6am local time on Wednesday

            These things are not hard to find!

            Bass told reporters that while vandalism had caused significant damage downtown, it was not a citywide issue, hence the curfew applying to a contained area. She warned people who do not live or work in the affected area to stay away or face arrest, should they break the curfew.

            Bass again called on the Trump administration to end the raids, saying if LA was to be “peaceful again” the raids needed to stop.

      75 Democrats Express ‘Gratitude’ to ICE in Antisemitism Vote Amid LA Riots

      https://www.newsweek.com/75-democrats-house-antisemitism-resolution-ice-gratitude-2083177

      no matter how bad the stuff the Republicans do, it’s the democrats fault?

      Because this is typical Republican behavior which surprises no one much like how there are different rules for how children act versus adults. Democrats are supposed to be the opposition party but with their actions, they regularly condone and enable the worst aspects of Republican behavior even if their empty rhetoric says otherwise.

      1. people who don’t understand cause and effect
      2. people who don’t understand powerless organizations can only make noise and wait for the chance to steer america differently
      3. people who don’t understand that a powerless centre and left is how America seems to have voted
      4. people who voted for Stein and need someone else to be the villian, here
      5. people who want to look good in home-room by showing their pimply peers their comments
      6. people upset that others haven’t rescued them when here they were liking AND subscribing for justice

      What’d I miss?
