Because they’re Black, they must be looting? This isn’t an honest mistake.

Spread truth, not lies: These folks weren’t looters. This footage is from KTLA, where the homeowner explained that her brothers & friends were helping her move belongings out of her burned house.

Nosferatu's direction was masterful, showcasing superb cinematography and breathtaking visuals. Each scene surpassed the previous one, and the plot, while a remake of the unauthorized 1922 adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula, remained engaging and easy to follow.
