Downtown Los Angeles has entered its third straight day of chaos. National Guard troops now occupy intersections. The sky above the Civic Center is thick with tear gas and the dull thrum of helicopters. Scooters have been hurled at police vans. Molotov cocktails, too. Waymo driverless taxis have been torched. Protesters lob fireworks and stones while LAPD and federal agents respond with foam munitions and flash-bangs. It’s not a protest anymore, it’s a siege. Three officers injured. Dozens arrested. Traffic brought to a standstill as demonstrators flooded the 101 freeway. The City of Angels has morphed into something closer to hell.
These aren’t peaceful protests gone wrong. They’re coordinated acts of left-wing rage masquerading as justice. Protesters wield megaphones and foreign flags with one hand, but throw fireworks and bricks with the other. ICE agents have become targets. Police are overrun. Fires rage, and the media calls it “symbolic”. In truth, it’s a domestic meltdown; a movement convinced of its own righteousness, completely detached from reality.
Gavin Newsom enabled this madness. He’s spent years legitimizing degeneracy, glamorizing dysfunction, and apologizing for criminality. Give lunatics an inch, and they’ll take a mile, but Newsom gave them the whole boulevard. And who, I ask, is taking that mile now? Not MAGA voters, not Trump supporters, but anti-MAGA radicals.
The madness isn’t purely ideological, it’s psychological, too. A perfect storm of anxiety, disorientation, and entitlement. These people don’t just want to be right; they need to be. Their entire self-concept is built on being the good guy battling cartoon villains. This is what makes them so dangerous. They suffer from moral absolutism. Every issue is a hill to die on. Every disagreement is fascism. They don’t argue; they excommunicate. They hold strong, inflexible beliefs about the need to “dismantle” systems of oppression, though most couldn’t explain what those systems are beyond a string of simple-minded slogans. In a world where faith, family, and tradition are collapsing, they find belonging in ideological cults. Online mobs become community, and they justify their actions through cognitive distortions, believing that violence isn’t just excusable, but righteous.
The real domestic extremist threat in America today isn’t coming from gun shows or rural diners. It’s coming from manicured campuses and glittering boardrooms, from people waving foreign flags and demanding “intifada” on Ivy League lawns, and from trust-fund radicals chanting that America is “colonialist garbage” while reaping every benefit it gave them. They side with terrorists over civilians, criminals over cops, mobs over law, and theory over reality. They’re not here to reform. They’re here to replace. And in L.A., they’re doing just that – brick by brick, flame by flame – smashing windows, torching patrol cars, and assaulting strangers in the name of “justice”. Not outliers. Not agitators. But the foot soldiers of a new order.
