This weekend, I found myself in front of the TV, surprised by what I was seeing. A polished news anchor described the chaos in Los Angeles as an “almost peaceful protest.” They delivered this with a somber tone, but the scene behind them seemed to belong in a movie like “Mad Max.” Federal agents were dodging concrete like it was a competitive sport. I even spotted a guy in a Che Guevara crop top trying to set a police car on fire. It was as if a dumpster fire were illuminating the night sky, reminiscent of an apocalyptic gathering.
If you think about suggesting deporting or locking up someone violent, you’re quickly labeled as an extremist. But somehow, this was peace. I guess tear gas and Molotov cocktails are now the incense and candles of a new civic ritual.
The media, it feels, wants us to play nice—just nodding along while the city crumbles, dubbing it “activism.” Let’s call it what it is: delusion.
Another “peaceful” riot
If the Titanic was “almost floating” and the Hindenburg was “almost flying,” then sure, you could say this latest situation is “almost peaceful.” History, however, often ignores those small details like icebergs and explosions.
The coverage reeked of phrases like “voluntary” and “grassroots,” suggesting these protests emerged from nowhere, as if conjured into existence. Many signs looked like they were printed at some socialist print shop. They bore slogans advocating for socialism, communism, and other anti-American regimes—essentially a revolutionary starter pack.
And who financed this? Well, you did.
Reports suggest that many of these so-called voluntary gatherings are funded by your taxes. Tens of millions from the Biden administration gave creative types the resources they needed to hurl fire at local businesses.
Those aging radicals from the 1970s—now holding tenure and pensions—cheer from the sidelines, waxing lyrical about the “liberation” associated with burning squad cars. They’re the same folks who once favored tie-dye and flew off to assist guerrilla fighters, all in the name of “progress.”
This isn’t progress. It isn’t a protest. There’s certainly no justice or peace here. What we’re witnessing is an attempt to dismantle the American system. And if you dare state this plainly, you risk being labeled a biased fascist—or worse, someone who simply acknowledges reality.
What sparked this taxpayer-funded unrest? Enforcement action against undocumented immigrants, many of whom are repeat violent offenders according to arrest records. These aren’t “dreamers” longing for freedom; they’re criminals with extensive, violent histories, all free to roam thanks to a system prioritizing ideology over public safety.
This is what’s igniting the rioting. It’s not about the abuse of innocents; it’s the result of a well-deserved arrest. Yet in California, this seems to stir anger.
A typical American might feel concerned—especially in light of remarks from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. But here’s the thing: unless attacking people, smuggling, or firing guns into homes is your forte, you’re probably safe.
Still, if you suggest that violent criminals should face deportation or imprisonment, don’t be surprised if you’re branded as extreme.
The left’s disconnect
This all unfolds when culture loses touch with reality. We start labeling arson as “art,” lawlessness as “liberation,” and criminals as “community members.” We glorify destruction while the media frames it as just an “atmosphere.”
But it’s more than just a vibe. This is violence funded by you, sanctioned by your elected officials, and rebranded by a media more interested in appearances than the truth.
This isn’t behaviorism; it’s anarchism. And political leaders seem to be fanning the flames.
