The Department of Homeland Security conducted raids on multiple locations across Los Angeles on Friday, clashing with the crowds of people who gathered to protest.

Masked agents were recorded pulling several people out of two LA-area Home Depot stores and the clothing manufacturer Ambient Apparel’s headquarters in LA’s Fashion District. Immigration advocates said the raids also included four other locations, including a doughnut shop.

Not having read the article yet I am going to guess that the "smoke grenades" (which are one thing) were actually "tear gas grenades" (which are something way different).

I'm waiting for the day when these mobs decide to stop filming and actually do something.

The 2 isn't meant for the pawns but the ones controlling them.

Yeah, these are Americans. They won’t do anything but whine online for a week and then accept it as the new normal.

And don’t you dare suggest there is anything more they could be doing unless you’re excited to receive replies from some very defensive clowns.
