In Democrat run Los Angeles, any excuse for a looting spree is a good one. The Dodgers’ World Series win left local residents with the impression they were entitled to new Nike shoes. Another of the “violent celebrations” involved lighting a city bus on fire.
Burning and looting in LA
The victorious burning and looting across Los Angeles, California, has people saying it’s a good thing the Dodgers won. If they had lost the World Series, there wouldn’t be anything left.
The city reportedly “descended into chaos Wednesday night as belligerent baseball fans set a bus on fire, while others clashed with cops and looters ran amok.” A good time was had by all. A few of them had such a good time they were actually arrested for it.
The strains of Bob Marley’s “a burning and a looting tonight” were pumping out from 500 watt car stereos as “a mob of looters running in and out of a boarded-up Nike store” were videoed by cops “carrying merchandise and throwing it into cars parked outside the store.”
Police weren’t even thinking about stopping them. Instead, they’ll spend months pouring over the videos in an attempt to identify each vandal, one-by-one. Arrest them, then watch the prosecutor turn them loose to do it again.
The after-party started “about four miles from Dodger Stadium just after 11 p.m.” The LAPD confirms they were “aware of the looting.” Because Democrat city policies prevent them from doing anything about it, that’s about all they had to say.
Arrests were made, they verify, “but did not disclose how many suspects were taken into custody.” A department spokesperson noted that insurance adjusters were going to be hopping on Thursday.
Several businesses robbed
Several of the local businesses struggling to keep their doors open to neighborhood shoplifters and drug crazed zombies were picked clean by organized looting. Just for fun, “multiple properties were ‘vandalized‘ during the ‘violent celebrations‘ across the city.”
The rioters didn’t seem to care about the potential for any consequences. “Aerial footage from ABC 7 Los Angeles shows dozens of looters calmly walking into and leaving a Nike store with boxes of goods without police interference.”
While that was going on in downtown Los Angeles, other areas of the city “were plunged into madness.” As related by LAPD, the crowd became “hostile” about a mile from Dodger Stadium around 12:35 a.m.
That’s when a mob “estimated at between 200 and 300 people” decided to celebrate the big victory by lighting an MTA bus on fire. They planned to get in on the looting spree later, after the bonfire.
Doing nothing is standard police procedure in Los Angeles. After giving the excited fans a few hours to get the celebration out of their system, the party didn’t appear to be winding down. They had to chase the hostile mob off to their own homes. That didn’t go over well with the masses.
“The LAPD also reported that officers trying to disperse the rowdy crowd were being pelted with rocks, bottles and fireworks from a malicious crowd around where the looting was taking place.“
