Just Watched Video on the LA Riots

Interesting watching the videos of the victory celebration.
I called them animals, my wife says animals dont destroy property purposely.
What do we call these people???

I was hard pressed to see a single white person rioting

I routinely call then POS low-lifes, even though I occasionally get flamed for that from our friends on the left.

Oh look, one of our rioters or rioter-supporters gave it one star. I bumped it up a bit.

That's crazy talk, you racists. You just don't understand the plight of these good, yet misunderstood people.

Hamsters. As a kid I always wondered WHERE the baby Hamsters went. They will consume their own if left to their own devices.

Or Dodgers, or Kings. Can you imagine if the World Cup was being played in Carson, CA? That's just too close to me.

Looks like he was breaking in to get a taco. Funny, though, I don't see any glass on the floor or sidewalk.

It sort of looks like there's an unbroken piece of glass on the floor about a foot from his foot inside the store.

Regardless of race, I think if the military showed up in force, tanks, guys with M-16s and M-60s (or whatever the current gear is), and they were allowed to fire if necessary, things might be a bit more controlled.

I just don't understand people and the mob mentality.

The general public is largely made up of idiots.

Stores in this area replaced all of the glass broken last year with plexi. It pops out in one piece and can be reinstalled after the riots.

Where the F do these people get off doing that crap? There need to be some punishment. They will only do it again and only going to get worst. The whold city(s) will find ways to destory other's stuff. Roit police should crack some heads like they did in the old days.

I see it now. Thanks. You can see I'm not up to the times as I don't go into LA for any reason. It's bad enough in the LB.

At least we still have glass in the doors.

BTW, you know what I'd do? I'd put that plastic in front of the glass. Fvking kid would have broken his foot trying that.

Ah, in the paper this morning was an article about the riots. Some tacoria owner spent all morning yesterday sweeping up glass. It might be the same place and maybe all the windows weren't changed over.

All she said was, "What kind of celebration is that?"

Indeed.

They riot like that because they know that no one will stop them and they might get a reward.
The police can't really do anything except watch these criminals because lawsuits from low-life lawyer scum have basically made them totally impotent.

A few years ago a whole bunch of los Illegals marched and protested through LA, and El mayor was at the front leading them. There were a whole bunch of them, someone estimate a hundred thousand or so.
They ended up taking over a park they didn't have a permit to be in. They love parks.
They were also blocking off a whole bunch of streets. Some of los Illegals started acting up and throwing beer bottles at the cops. The cops told them to disperse, go away, vamanos.
They didn't.
The cops got forceful with some of los criminals, and the cops got in all kinds of trouble and los illegal criminals got millions of dollars in rewards for being criminals and illegals. Most of em didn't even get to court, the LA city council just started writing huge checks to any illegals that asked for them. Because that's what they do when they aren't boycotting Arizona.
The lawyers and council members taught the cops a lesson, don't try to do your job or you'll get fired.

One of the larger lawsuits that was settled claimed that the cops only gave instructions to disperse in English, not in espanol and evidently that was a violation of los illegal's civil rights. And the city council asked them, "how much do you want?"

If they would have taken out that entire march including the mayor and other illegal supporting council members, LA would be much better off today. Instead it's much worse.

I guess it depends on your POV.

In this one tape I see many people celebrating, as expected. I also see some low-lifes taking advantage of the situation to destroy property as well as a police presence who took the conservative strategy (not a political term), intent on forcing people to move out of the area. It seems the public needs a permit to celebrate in LA. I hope they ID the criminal perps and arrest them.

BTW, this is a riot:


Hmmm. I didn't see a single Latino in the melee.

This is not a riot. Broadcast TV needs its ratings:
