   It was only about seven weeks ago that LA experienced some looting which   
   seemed to be coordinated with anti-ICE protests.

   Because nothing screams ‘deportation is bad’ quite like looting the Jordan   
   store.

   The looters hit at least half-a-dozen stores downtown looking to steal   
   sneakers, cell phones, jewelry, and car parts. Hundreds of people were   
   involved.

   Autozone looting in LA ??   
      
   https://twitter.com/i/status/1802257350662742356   
      
   Once the protest died down (after the National Guard was called out) the   
   looting stopped. But this weekend, LA was hit with another round of   
   looting. This time it wasn't connected with any protest. It seemed to   
   arise from sideshows, i.e. unauthorized street takeovers where people   
   drift their cars around intersections. And once again the first target was   
   an AutoZone store which was looted late Friday night/early Saturday   
   morning.   
      
   An LAPD spokesperson confirmed to KTLA that calls of a street takeover   
   came in around 1:25 a.m. at Century Boulevard and Central Avenue near Ted   
   Watkins Memorial Park in the Green Meadows neighborhood.   
      
   Approximately two minutes later, individuals were reported to have entered   
   the nearby AutoZone located at Century and Central, the spokesperson said.   
      
   While the spokesperson could not confirm the value of stolen merchandise,   
   they did note that a burglary report was taken. Video from the scene   
   obtained by KTLA shows items, including a car battery and boxes of rims,   
   scattered across the area along with broken glass from the storefront.   
      
   Late Saturday night there were more sideshows and by early Sunday morning   
   at least two more stores were looted, including another shoe store:   
      
   Police responded around 3:30 a.m. to a report of a street takeover near   
   Wilmington Avenue and Del Amo Boulevard.   
      
   Shortly after, authorities received another call about a burglary in   
   progress at a WSS store at the same intersection, according to the LA   
   Sheriff's Department.   
      
   Here's a local news report on Saturday night's activity.

   And according to this clip, there was another looting late Sunday/early   
   Monday morning at a grocery store following yet another sideshow.

   Street takeovers have been taking place in LA for decades but the number   
   has increased dramatically since the pandemic.   
      
   The number of reports of illegal street races and intersection takeovers,   
   also known as side shows, increased in Los Angeles in the first months of   
   2024, according to new LAPD data, and authorities said they're still   
   struggling to find an effective solution to prevent them.   
      
   More than 176 street races were reported between January and March, up   
   nearly 50% from the same period in 2023, and the number of takeovers rose   
   2% to 190, although officials cautioned the numbers were incomplete and   
   probably low, due to a data collection upgrade underway at the LAPD.   
      
   "It's just been kind of frustrating dealing with all the street   
   takeovers," said Michael Kirchmann, Jr., who lives close to where a   
   takeover happened at Century Boulevard and Hoover Street that led to a   
   crowd break-in and burglary at an auto parts store on June 9.   
      
   Generally the police do nothing about it because they are inevitably   
   outnumbered. Now it seems the people who attend these impromptu parties   
   have decided police disinterest will extend to the looting of nearby   
   stores as well. In fact, you have to wonder if the sideshows aren't being   
   set up at intersections where there's a nearby store worth looting. The   
   car stunts are starting to look like a cover for the real action. Some   
   reports say a handful of people were arrested in connection with these   
   takeovers, but it's a tiny fraction of the number of people involved.   
      
   The LA County Board of Supervisors doubled the fines for street takeovers   
   back in April. That means drivers involved could be fined $1,000 if they   
   are caught. But how many actually get arrested? Not many from what I can   
   tell.

   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
