Los Angeles is a failed metro. Its the apex of everything wrong in the USA.

Its the nexus between pop culture and society. Let it burn down.

Liberals in 2025:
“Die you Federal Officers!! How dare you enforce the law!!!”

Isn't that assault? What if a cop pulled me over and I decided to shoot fireworks at them what would they do? J
if I did that, used commercial fireworks for that purpose, the ATF would qualify that as an 'explosive' and come at me like one of Biden's/Wray's "ultra MAGA right wing terrorists".

A pressure cooker is no longer a pressure cooker when you blow up marathon onlookers with it. Same here, when you use commercial grade fireworks to intentionally cause bodily harm it is a bomb, not getting ready for the 4th of July.

The Cops have to play by the rules. The mob doesn't. That makes in very hard to engage with them.

No the commercial grade that you may see lighting up the sky on a celebration

I don’t like these riots or agree with their cause but I’m glad I live in a Nation where the government is scared of the citizens and not the other way around.

Every government is scared of its citizens. Some hide it better.

The math always favors the citizens.

Well this answers the question about a real insurrection..

Apparently all you need are some bottle rockets to take over the govt.

Cops should really learn how to de-escalate these situations.

They could be throwing paper airplanes at them. The result is always the same when the governor has ordered you to stand down at all times.

Then shoot back with commercial-grade ammunition.
