If Los Angeles just had wide flat plazas at major intersections every couple of miles, like its soul yearns for culturally, there wouldn't be a need for much police tension and traffic warnings on a night like this. People would just gather when they felt they needed to.

The Republican Party will simultaneously claim that they are prioritizing fighting antisemitism above all else, when it allows them to crack down on higher education and foreign students, and also that the Jewish puppet master is pulling the strings behind all progressive social movements in the US.
Ernst: "I think it is extremely important that we look at who is funding these protests. We have to get to the bottom of this. It could be the usual suspect -- George Soros."
