I SCREAM!
June 20, 2025
I scream! You scream!! We all scream against the ICE team.
I’m hoping we Angelinos, and the rest of our California brethren, can weather the storm: King Donald has declared war on US and is using all the tricks of Machiavelli to lay waste to L.A. (and eventually all of California). Think of June 7th as our Gulf of Tonkin incident.
Instead of getting angry and violent in our impotence – we must be Gandhi-like to deal with the Occupation forces.
We also must have clear chronicling of the unfolding events when we take our City and State back.
For instance, someone was passing out riot gear to protestors before they became rioters. Had this dispenser been stockpiling riot gear for just such an occasion? How did he have access to this equipment? And is he independently wealthy — to be able to pass out riot gear for free? Or did some other agency co-opt him as a driver? Haven’t heard a thing about him since his arrest.
I’ve already written about the 101 freeway incident (or was it the 110?) — where the protesters/rioters were careful TO NOT throw rocks, or street signs or fireworks on the southbound lane – just the northbound side. Anyway, I’ve seen the police close both sides of a freeway for far less than thugs commandeering an overpass.
This was obviously a staged event to get more pictures of burning cars – except those stubborn police vehicles did not ignite. And it was this staged incident that the appeals court used to justify the Orange King’s illegal deployment of the National Guard!
I also remain very curious about who suggested that the protesters/rioters bring concrete cinder blocks in back-packs and break them apart (for throwing purposes) with hammers. I could barely carry one of these cinder blocks for more than a few feet – but these rioters/protesters seemed to have had a never-ending supply of cinder block fragments to throw. (There must also have been a run on the hardware stores for ball-peen hammers.)
Someone suggested that these enterprising youth used sledge hammers?! (It would be pretty difficult to hide sledge hammers in backpacks.)
And as previously noted — how the prescient King Donald was able to anticipate a riot in L.A. that would require 4000 national guardsmen and 700 Marines to quell — is beyond me. This is a guy (King Donald) who only started making money (after years of bankruptcies and rip-offs) by monetizing his presidency.
Stephen A. Smith’s revealing interview with Jon Stewart reinforced what most-of-US-anti-Trumpers already knew: King Donald is revenge-driven and doesn’t stop until he gets what he wants. Christ! He’s trying to move the appeal of his rape conviction to the federal court. May he fail miserably.
Speaking of miserables – were there paid audience members in the Kennedy Center’s production of Les Miserables hired to applaud him? The boos I expected — but cheering on a man who kills everything he touches (like the center itself) is mysterious.
Heck! The Kingsmen (and women) had to coach a-number-of graduates at the Fort Bragg graduation ceremony to boo on cue when mentions of the King’s enemies were made.
Meanwhile, Karoline Leavitt and Kristi Noem are able to spew outright lies to the media about the Los Angeles situation. When challenging the Trump propaganda machine, like Senator Padilla did – the challenger is forcibly removed, and in Senator Padilla’s case – handcuffed. Ouch!
I’m tired of seeing the same burning Waymo cars that were purchased for the explicit reason of setting them on fire! I’m also tired of seeing that very fit skateboarder smashing in a car window with his four-foot skateboard.
But amazingly — on Day 6 of The Occupation — Israel’s attack on Iran took over the news cycle and the curfew for much of Los Angeles was lifted so that people could enjoy a number of events — including the Dodgers/Giants game.
It’s pretty obvious to the rational mind that this was a pre-planned attack on Los Angeles – the largest of sanctuary cities in a State King Donald hates.
We Californians can’t bend the knee. We must resist the King of ICE and drive him out of the Golden State.
Come to think of it – ICE melts in the Sun! Let’s turn up the heat in democratic fashion!!
