Mostly Peaceful Army of the Status Quo
In the past few days, Los Angeles has been awash in protests, rekindling fond memories of Rodney King, and the long, hot summer of 2020. Well, to be fair, there is a whole lot worth protesting about America 2.0. I mean, what with the overreaching corruption, the taxation without representation, and the crumbling infrastructure.
But those protesting aren’t fed up with the tyranny. Or being taxed to line the pockets of special interests and favored “democracies” like Israel and Ukraine. They aren’t mad at an infrastructure that hasn’t been touched in sixty years. The native Californians aren’t protesting a shortage of water, with the Pacific Ocean right there, and desalination plants having been invented decades ago. They were cool with the way the local authorities mishandled the latest round of endless fires. No, they are protesting about illegal immigration. Well, that makes sense, doesn’t it?

It’s surrealistic to watch the burning cars and buildings, amid all the Mexican flags waving proudly in the smog, juxtaposed against the smiling multi-millionaire “journalists” assuring us that this is a “mostly peaceful” situation. I’ve seen several mostly peaceful men in masks throwing rocks at passing motorists. What else says “open borders” more clearly than that? Many of these vehicles were police cars. And shockingly enough, not one of the dirty, rotten racist cops stopped their car, turned on the sirens, jumped out waving their guns, and confronted the rock throwers. I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure if I stood on the side of any road in my county, and threw large rocks at a police car, that I’d be extremely lucky to survive to write something witty about it on Substack. And that’s with all my White Privilege and everything. The L.A.P.D. is remarkably patient now, happily enduri
