"Escape From L.A."

It seems John Carpenter's "Escape From L.A." was a foretelling of the extreme devolution of what used to be a Great American City.

Kurt Russell's Snake Plittken character was trying to get off the future island of Los Angeles.  I'm guessing several million people are now, or soon will be trying to emulate Snake's escape as this humble posting is written.

That's because George Soros' backed activists and anarchists and looters and troublemakers have turned L.A. into a riot zone.  Starting last Friday night the rioters started pillaging and plundering downtown Los Angeles.  They were responding, we're being told, to the efforts by Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) agents to round up convicted illegal alien felons with signed Final Orders for Deportation in hand.  Bad guys.  Who'd already received their "due process."  Murderers, rapists, pedophiles, burglars all.  Who are avoiding deportation.  By hiding within an illegal sanctuary.  Forcing the Feds to come looking.  

If L.A. participated alongside the Feds in arresting these felons hiding in their midst it would be tough.  The fact that L.A. has declared itself as a "sanctuary" makes in doubly difficult.  Instead of calling ICE when they have an illegal alien felon they refuse to cite, ready for release from their jails, they refuse to do so.  They have decided to simply ignore laws they don't like.  I wonder if we can do that?  Like ignoring L.A.'s traffic laws?  Or its shoplifting laws?  Would they like that?  

Friday witnessed an all-out riot.  The likely paid activists were burning cars, and buildings, and shooting professional-grade fireworks at their police.  Who quickly retreated.  Leaving the rioters to continue to throw rocks and broken pieces of concrete at their cars from freeway overpasses.  They were waving Mexican flags, while burning our American Flags.  And spitting and trampling on them.  Infuriating us Veterans who fought so hard to keep that Flag uppermost.

All that happened Friday night.  Providing a clue as to what the weekend would look like.  But neither Karen Bass, L.A.'s Mayor, nor our BoyGuv Newsom, would call in the California National Guard.  They knew it would be bad, but they chose to avoid taking action.  Sheep among the wolves.  Resulting in Lost Angeles On Fire.

L. A.'s police chief Mcdonald held a press conference Friday night.  And even though the Guvner and the Mayor had said the opposite, he admitted that his cops were overwhelmed and outmatched, and needed help from the outside.  Like the National Guard.

Trump saw this and called in the Guard.  Using a little known law enabling the Feds to insert themselves to protect Federal officers, Trump went over "Hairgod's" head.  Turning him into a cuckhold.  He always looked like a used car salesman, all smarmy and slick, but now he's turned himself into a Nationwide laughing stock.  The Guard is on site.  300 of them so far, another 1,700 on the way.  And Secretary of Defense Hegseth put the Marines from Camp Pendleton on ready alert, preparing 700 of them for deployment.  They should be backing up the Guard by the time this is published.  And here's a news flash.  Trump just doubled the number of Guard troops to 4,000. 

Prepare yourselves for a Major League Pissing Contest.  If the Guvmint's effort to control this by the insertion of Federalized troops, I can foresee Trump declaring Lost Angeles a police zone.  With thousans of our military to make his word good.

Oh yeah, "Hairgod" just declared he intends to sue the Trump Administration.  So it goes like this: Anarchists riot, Newsom does nothing, the Feds take action, and Newsom sues.  Is every Democrat leader a pus*y?

Are there any Americans left in Los Angeles?  Or are they all illegal Hispanic aliens?  Who have taken over America's 2nd Largest City.  And turned it into a war zone.  I'm guessing those citizens who are still in L.A. are lamenting that decision.  I'm guessing they're furiously packing so they can blow that war zone before they pay with their lives.  To try and Escape From L.A. with the little equity remaining in their homes (if everybody's selling, nobody's buying!).  To turn themselves into today's example of Snake Plittken.    

Los Angeles is a toilet.  A scary, dirty, filthy, dangerous toilet.  When I moved here 50 years ago it was a pleasure to go downtown and shop.  And take in a movie.  Or grab a bite on Hollywood Blvd.  Today?  Their own ex-sheriff suggested if you absolutely have to go into L.A., dress down.  Wear sunglasses.  Don't look at anyone.  And don't wear a watch.  Take an Uber or drive your rattiest car.  And then get the Hell out as soon as possible.  If you don't want to be a statistic.

So like an anchor on local L.A. TV station channel 7 stated, it was nice that the riots provided the folks with some fun by watching a few cars burn.  That's the mentality.  But I think it will all stop when a few thousand soldiers and Marines arrive on the scene.  Maybe we should leave them there until L.A. can be turned back into the great city it once was.   

Oh yeah, ex-L. A. Sheriff Alex Valenueva was voted out, even though he's a Democrat, because he wouldn't embrace illegal immigrants.  With both arms and a wet kiss.  I guess we can forgive him for voting Democrat because he's one of the few remaining in L.A. with a smidgen of common sense...
