Who’s in charge?
It’s not even about the rioters in Los Angeles. It’s the fact that all of this behavior is being protected from the top down.
And so Supervisor Janice Hahn felt emboldened enough to tell the media that the federal government is “inciting these kinds of protests and riots”, justified the actions of the rioters and then argued that “The way to solve this problem is for the federal government to back off, have a break, have a truce”.
That’s not how a society of laws works. It’s how a society held hostage by leftists works. And that’s exactly what Los Angeles is. And it wouldn’t be happening without the direct complicity of those at the top who always stand with the rioters.
It’s what they did at UCLA and it’s what they’re doing now.
Hahn would like the government to back off in favor of the rioters. But there are limits to California’s secessionism and the arrival of the National Guard is a reminder of what will no longer be tolerated.
