LA Protests (12 hours)

Patriot Front crashed Springfield, MO Pride festival. Driving a Penske truck. U-Haul banned Patriot Front from renting their vehicles. It’s time for people to tell Penske to do the same.

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

We spent four days talking about Waymos but there were two political assassinations in MN and it’s crickets

ICE throws gas at protesters who immediately cone it then use boards to help fan the gas back at ICE.

In West Chester, PA a man impersonating a police officer is arrested. He had a mass of ammo on him.

Someone captured the Los Angeles radio scanner traffic from yesterday, where LAPD came under impact munitions fire from LA Sheriffs when both departments violently converged on peaceful protesters from two sides.

it's some kind of dark humor that Israel's answer to MAD has been to adopt basically Schrodinger's Cat as an official state WMD policy

Marc Owen Jones@marcowenjones.bsky.social

Useful reminder that Israel is believed to have 90 nuclear weapons. Also, Israel is not party to the nuclear non proliferation treaty, and has not accepted IAEA safeguards on some of its principle nuclear activities. But yes, only Iran is the rogue state...

Last night in Riverside, CA, what 6 months ago would’ve been on every new channel, was only on local news. A man drove his vehicle into protesters. At least one woman screamed that her sister had been ran over. /

I've received some information from a local about the individual accused of being the SLC shooter (who did not fire, was shot by 'official' security who also hit and killed an unrelated person He'd done armed protesting before. Dressed more radically. Was a little awkward. no more than that

Chad Loder@chadloder.bsky.social

The shooting at the Salt Lake City protest is strange. The guy with the AR never fired it, and instead appears to have been engaged by "peacekeepers" or protest "security" in yellow security vests?

Just so we're clear, it's pretty dumb to show up at a protest solo, carrying an AR-15 in what appears to be an unslung, awkward tactical carry, while dressed in all black looking like a mass shooter. NONE of that excuses the yellow vest guys shooting into a crowd, nor the disinformation.

The problem with everyone carrying guns is that anyone gets to claim they saw imminent danger and fire at anyone else pulling a gun. Anyone seeing the yellow-vest guy raise his gun and point it at a crowd could have shot the yellow-vest guy (and they'd have saved an innocent bystander's life btw).

Muninsdad@muninsdad.bsky.social

I wouldn't be surprised if this is part of the reasoning behind the charges. The guards may well have acted inappropriately but I think they were acting under the assumption, correct or not that this guy posed imminent danger + they had a reason for being armed that the cops understood - being guard

My exhausted sigh. Another MAGA, another gun. This one happened in Phoenix.

Joce@jocejocejoe.bsky.social

Moment of the shooting at 0:02 in this video. I believe the guy partially hidden fired at Gamboa, and struck someone marching in the street behind him. The mortally wounded man was tended to near the blue Mazda near the red X. h/t @mrsissy.bsky.social for vid www.tiktok.com/@marcosbri/v...

Have we lost all our empathy and tact? A car drives into protesters on purpose, hitting them, then flees. Do you reply: Did they catch the guy? Was anyone killed or seriously injured? or Protesters shouldn’t be out after curfew or in the streets or waving that flag or wearing those clothes.

Alternately: they just don't see Democrats as people (and yet somehow believe they will see the kingdom of heaven)

Keep a skeptical eye and ear about this story. I've already seen a ton of misinformation out there: "the yellow vest guys ran toward the gunshots" — which would be impressive indeed since the yellow vest guys are the only ones who fired. Demand to see evidence that rifle guy raised his rifle.

A reminder that 1) the military is doing almost nothing beyond standing around LA 2) ICE is terrorizing people with little ID, including ramming cars in Boyle Heights and 3) the LAPD and LASD has been attacking peaceful demonstrations for the last 9 days.

Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social

Trump is now directing ICE to focus on Democratic-led cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York:

Our Nation’s ICE Officers have shown incredible strength, determination, and courage as they facilitate a very important mission, the largest Mass Deportation Operation of Illegal Aliens in History. Every day, the Brave Men and Women of ICE are subjected to violence, harassment, and even threats from Radical Democrat Politicians, but nothing will stop us from executing our mission, and fulfilling our Mandate to the American People. ICE Officers are herewith ordered, by notice of this TRUTH, to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.

In order to achieve this, we must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, and other such Cities, are the core of the Democrat Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base, cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State, robbing good paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens. These Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities — And they are doing a good job of it! There is something wrong with them. That is why they believe in Open Borders, Transgender for Everybody, and Men playing in Women’s Sports — And that is why I want ICE, Border Patrol, and our Great and Patriotic Law Enforcement Officers, to FOCUS on our crime ridden and deadly Inner Cities, and those places where Sanctuary Cities play such a big role. You don’t hear about Sanctuary Cities in our Heartland!
