CNN was claiming not too many hours ago the situation in Los Angeles was “mostly peaceful.” 

That was quite unexpected. It must be serious if even CNN is admitting that situations have “taken a turn” and acknowledging issues. They’re no longer merely labeling them as “protests” but as “incursions” and “violent” events instead.

🚨ABOUT TIME — CNN says that the riots have “taken a turn” for the worse.

They’re still attempting to describe some leftists as “peaceful,” while recognizing the presence of violent individuals. They also mention the anarchists and pro-“Palestinian” radicals within these groups.

What they fail to mention is that anarchists are typically a piece of radical leftist protests. This isn’t an accident, but rather an integral element. While the cause may differ, the same leftists are generally participating across varied issues. The true “cause” is to create chaos and push agendas to the left.

CNN mentioned the Waymo vehicles. Rioters were acquiring Waymos, then setting them on fire and destroying them. They also lit an American flag on fire.

BREAKING 🚨: Protestors light an American Flag on fire in an attempt to light another WayMo vehicle on fire.

Still no police or firefighter response to the fires. Things are quickly escalating.

This will likely be an iconic video; many of the people can be seen waving foreign flags as they create chaos and violence.

The vehicles have been burning so long that they are virtually disintegrated

You can hear someone announcing on a speaker that this is “going to take this country by storm.” No, you’re not. 

They’re pelting police with rocks from an overpass. 

Police cruisers continue to be pelted by large rocks as officers take shelter in the underpass.

Be prepared to be put down by the National Guard, kids, because they’re coming. 

The rioters even had a box of masks delivered.

But this is how emboldened they’re feeling now. There was a guy waving around the “head” of Trump, while holding a foreign flag and wearing a mask. Given all the people Joe Biden let across the border, who knows who any of these folks actually are. Cam Higby got the video, but there’s a problem in the embedding process, so here’s the link to it.

This is a developing situation, so expect more coverage at RedState.
