In Los Angeles, the Black Lives Matter protests got crazy. Criminals were breaking into stores.

It got ugly real quick.
So a curfew was set for Los Angeles county for several days.
Then, when the National Guard came in, things calmed down. There were and have been protests but they were all peaceful.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, the violent protests have started up again in downtown Los Angeles.

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I believe Barr is sending instigators into certain areas, and setting up violent protests, so they can send in their nazi troops and create havoc across the country.

If this begins happening across the country in the "blue" states, then I will know I'm correct.

Yep. There's something up. New York will probably be next. C Moon Jul 2020 #5
I wonder if it happened because Trump announced he was sending the robocops to Seattle? LeftInTX Jul 2020 #6
I don't either. This is a classic tactic. hlthe2b Jul 2020 #9

Same thing happened up in Seattle a few days ago. Days of peaceful protesting and then all of a sudden people breaking windows. Now they're sending feds to Seattle. LA will be next.

Just by announcing that he's sending the robocops, (never saw the movie..), he knows how to push peoples buttons. He's antagonizing people on purpose, so they will get anxious and start doing stupid things.

I hadn't heard we were under a curfew. I guess I should watch some local news.

I’m sorry, but I smell a rat. And, all these black umbrellas. Isn’t there a group that issues black umbrellas?

Protester was armed with a rifle. Protester was large white guy. He was with several other armed white guys. They could pass for white supremacists. Something happened at a red light. Protester with rifle approaches a stopped vehicle at an intersection. Driver was armed with handgun. Driver shoots and kills the protester.

Did the driver shoot because he saw the rifles and freaked out? Or did he target protesters?

Protester was married to a beautiful AA woman in a wheelchair. Picture from earlier this evening.



It's crazy and there are too many guns. I don't know what happened at the intersection. They say the shooter is cooperative. It's very sad and senseless.
