Surprisingly LA isn't rioting

Yeah. I thought they'd pop off for sure the other night. There's been little spurts of rioting going on, in Oakland and Sacramento, but overall, CA's been fairly quiet. But the dems have the electoral votes on lockdown, so it's not shocking. Plus, all of the Antifa and BLM members that are usually panhandling in Oakland and Berkeley are in Kenosha or Portland. They can't sustain large numbers in multiple cities, there aren't that many of them. Same thing happened with occupy - that was supposed to spread to all states, but they all ran to NYC for the party.

LA PD don't fuck around and even liberals in LA remember what it was like during the riots. The rich weren't able to ignore the chaos.

I watched the 1-2 nights LA popped off. The police literally had busses ready and filled them up with 20-30 people at a time. Cops individually chased down every looter they could and had high speed police chases with rioters who had carpooled.

It comes from having serious gang violence and being so close to the border, with such a huge and dense population in the middle of it that you can’t let things spin out of control. God Bless that #thinblueline

The totally* 100%* unarmed* peaceful* guy shot by a Sheriff's deputy in south-central didn't spark anything because "things" only get sparked if they are, in fact, organized with unlimited funding at an international level.

Maybe if any of the nonsense the radical left claims is happening--little black schoolchildren getting casually shot at on their way to school by Good 'Ol Boys (you know, like Democrats!)--then an organic citizen reaction would (and probably should) take place.

*He punched the officer in the face and then whoops dropped his (illegal) handgun.

But the LA Times certainly tried to Do Their Part with a big story, dependent entirely on one dubious source of a former deputy with a big chip on his shoulder about the department about a gang within the Sheriff's office with ink initiation tattoos and everything. The article cited officers getting together at a bar after enduring a shootout as part of the gang activity. Real brain trust over at the LA Times these days...

Blm narrative makes it sound like cops are driving around and when they see a black person they just jump out and start blasting, shits retarded

Maybe it's too expensive for soros to pay for airfare and hotels for them.

Too self centred to gather in any cohesive albeit chaotic effort.

That kind of behavior would not be tolerated in La La Land.

Speaking as a native, it's more of a party place. If there's a choice between having a good time and going to a riot the fun will win.
