Glendale is third in terms of population in Los Angeles County...I did not hear about any riot going on in Glendale...A lot of Armenians live in Glendale...Some Hispanics live in Glendale...Very few blacks in Glendale...
I am familiar with Long Beach...Most areas in west part of Long Beach are not very nice...Many thugs live in those areas...Areas around Cal State Long Beach are OK...
In my opinion, most looters were from west part of Long Beach...
I heard on KFI radio that some protest is planned in San Fernando Valley on Monday...I am expecting more looting on Monday...
Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna, sipping on a Mai Tai at the Queen Mary’s Observation Bar, said at least seven businesses were looted.
Then it's a riot.
These are all preplanned riots.
This is sedition and treason.
I actually have a funny Cal State Long Beach/Long Beach Police story. It involves SCUBA diving, the Jack in the Box on PCH, and the 49ers Tavern.
OMGosh, just thinking about the fake Spanish translating makes me laugh.
The pull quote, from the driver, a guy from Cabo San Lucas, "Cops are stupid everywhere in the world."
Next on the list: San Fernando valley, Monterey park, Alhambra, Glendora, Ontario, Riverside, San Bernardino, and everywhere in between.
I want them to attack Silicon Valley.
Note the sign on the right:
"A THREAT TO ANYBODYS INJUSTICE IS A THREAT TO YOURS"
Oh my word! Now even our INJUSTICE is being threatened? Say it ain't so Joe!
Everyone - go grab your injustice ASAP and lock it in your gun safe to keep it away from looters.
PS: Laz, what about the one in the center? How far have your standards slipped since last I checked? :-)
It’s almost as if Joker was a nationwide prediction.
Hmmm, they always seem to bypass the public library
It was laughable how they kept repeating it, emphasizing how peaceful everything was, except for the looting, which was described in tones of sadness and dismay rather than outrage and disdain.
Compare that to the media coverage of the anti-lockdown protests, where there was no hostility to the cops, no looting, no destruction of property. I wonder how many times they said "peaceful" in describing those events, which actually were peaceful.
The younger Armenians appear to be more liberal and are rebelling against their more conservative parents. Their experience protesting the genocide of Armenians by Turks could be used to fuel similar protests against the police.
Many of the established Armenians are into real estate. They may want to protect all that investment by making sure the same thing happening on the West Side doesn't happen in Glendale.
But then they just built a bunch of apartments and had to fill them, in some cases with what looks like Section 8 residents.
So there might be a critical mass of gimmedats, dindonuffins, and rebellious Armenian millennials to cause a ruckus. Maybe the realtors will have to call in the Armenian mob to keep things tidy.
I’m in NW FL for work with USAF but live around 1st/Temple in LB. My wife called yesterday afternoon and said the protesters were staging right around our block. Things were peaceful for her but it looks like there was some looking downtown. Clean up is going on now.
They have defined deviancy down. Blocking traffic means taking drivers captive, and it can lead to murder and mayhem when the rioters attack the drivers.
Release of prisoners, Dark Knight style during Covid19, comes to fruition.
Gotham is going down
Nothing like remembering a victim by wearing stolen designer tshirts as hero worship...
