Most of LA riots are focused in downtown which is a good 20-30 minute drive from me. I have friends who were at protests though and they turned ugly pretty fast. I'm texting with people who live in that area as we speak, it's bad.

We had protests in Downtown that began peaceful, and as soon as nightfall began, the rioting and looting started. I had friends, co-workers, bosses at the protest. Right now there’s a curfew but there’s still protesters fighting with police. Shit’s nuts.

This is a good thing. More arms taken away from Black Bloc guys, the better.

Saw that, and the FedEx driver dragging the guy.
I have sympathy for the FedEx driver and can see him not knowing the guy looting the truck was between the boxes.
Thank god this dude got tackled before he could murder anyone.

Trump calling governors weak for not cracking down on the protests and threatening to use the military if the protests don't stop. In tandem with his efforts to brand antifa as terrorism and is overt encouragement protesters be shot, it's hard not to be terrified of the authoritarian president.

Make sure you build a wall in Canada We've got our own issues. In fact it's been frustrating to see so many Canadians smugly look down on the news as if we don't have police brutality and horrific racism too. ...but, yeah, I'm glad I live here and not there right now.

Remember some of the shit you'll see from protesters is also complete bullshit.

I know we all expected bad things when Trump got elected. But honestly, did you expect his 4th year to be THIS bad??
