Edit: Some people pointed out that “mass looting” is more or less propaganda. I edited the title to be accurate.

Newsweek isn’t accurate, in general. I thought it was newsworthy that there was a riot after the game, but maybe I should not be feeding into a right-wing mythology about “lawless left-wing cities,” which this story pretty definitely is doing.

    Right. Throwing snowballs at someone is the same as setting a bus on fire. Got it.

    That’s the dumbest thing to bring up. You could bring up setting a cop car on fire during the George Floyd protests, you could mention the car flipping and dumpster fire after the Eagles championship, shit - you could go with our police department bombing a residence, but you went with throwing snowballs as the label to keep off of LA.

    Are you not at all aware of the history of riots in Los Angeles? You’ve done plenty of your own tarring over there, bub.
