IMO it’s time to put a stop to these thugs and their bullying and unlawful behavior, and if the police stand down they are as guilty as those causing the lawlessness and violence. Whoever is orchestrating these riots and destruction of property needs to be held accountable!!
Back in the 60’s I was in the California Army National Guard and spent 2 weeks in LA area during the Watts Riots. We were not issued any ammo but we did round up troublemakers and put them in a compound where they were fed hot meals and given a place to sleep……..while we had to make do in the back of our trucks and eat C-Rations or K-Rations (can’t remember which). In the end I believe all the troublemakers were let go and the government paid for much of the rebuilding of the Watts community that the hoodlums had burned and otherwise destroyed . Now I am wondering if it wasn’t a similar situation as is happening today?? It sure sounds and looks the same.
