       This just in: mild protests and a couple of fires don't have the destructive capacity to level Los Angeles

       @skh [LA is not burning, nor is it burning down. There are protests, however. Images are being used for political purposes.]I live in Los Angeles. I approve this message. Other than you can't get the police unless someone if about to murder you right now, everything is just fine. Nothing burning†. No smoke anywhere. The protests are civil and under control, with a handful of well meaning people wanting to be arrested to make a point that ICE raids are bad, and enough idiots  (dozens, maybe) that want to play at rioting and being crazy, which plays into political agendas.Keep in mind that Media and TV only show action, outrage, and violence because it attracts eyeballs, more than "everything is alright," because it sells ads. The spectacle helps an administration that is trying to manufacture reasons for a military takeover of the city when the city is taking care of the situation just fine.I haven't seen the Marines. That does worry me.=-=-=-=-=† Not at all like the Rodney King LA Riots where I could watch the source of smoke getting closer and closer to my home. #la #residents #losangeles #LosAngelesProtests #protest #protests
