Focus Polling before the Mid-Terms must be catastrophic… Locally you get the feeling that a dead walrus could be re-elected in LA.
Alternatively the local LA politicians might be feeling some heat from the local businessmen. For example: “Nobody wants to invest in, no tourists want to visit a hellhole, capische?”
In other words, the useful idiots aren’t so useful anymore.
They served their purpose and so they’re being sent back to Mom’s basement out in the ‘burbs.
One of the first tasks after a successful coup or revolution is to demobilize your own shock troops. Forcibly, if necessary. They are the ones who know how to cause trouble, and they like causing trouble. And it gives your internal security forces practice for when they need to crack down on the opposition.
I thought they’d be disbanded months ago, but I guess January’s Delta Tau Chi led “insurrection” scared their masters into keeping them available, just in case.
The photos seemed a bit weak to me. For certain the news coverage was bias. “A person appeared to spray silly string at an officer”? How could you know? A more unbiased story would note that a rioter sprayed a chemical in a police officers face. That’s assault and the victim officer shouldn’t have to wait to determine later that the assault was less harmful than it was intended to appear, and the officer was right to respond back.
Next time it could be poisonous bug spray or a caustic oven cleaner. The same with throwing rocks –Play Silly Games Get Thumped.
They aren’t anti-fascist, they are ante-fascist, the leading edge of the wedge.
It is just theater. The Democrat politicos organized the protest and then ordered the cops to shut it down. It makes the activists feel valorous, lets the cops blow some off some steam since they aren’t allowed to arrest criminals anymore, and the media gets to claim the Democrats are being tough, no matter which participant they talk about.
In my mind, I hear my favorite line from “The Blues Brothers”:
I guess stories feel better when you’re not the one being pummeled. My take though is that LA would be better served with a police force that obeys and enforces the law rather than one that clown-slaps when they feel like it.
Today, they were more or less on the side of the author. Tomorrow, they might not be.
