How The L.A. Riots Demonstrate Democrat-Media Complex’s Loss Of Narrative Control
Mark Hemingway


As much as it’s horrifying to watch a city burn and the lives of cops and federal agents threatened by violent protesters, there is a silver lining to the last several days of rioting in Los Angeles. The desperate attempts to spin what’s happening do a fairly good job of illustrating what’s wrong with the political discourse in this country — and further demonstrate that the dishonest sophistry used to excuse violent riots in 2020 is no longer remotely persuasive.

Still it’s worth classifying and breaking down the specific arguments and talking points that have been employed by the Democrat Party-media-industrial complex since the riots began. When those arguments are examined in isolation, it becomes even clearer why attempts to justify the violence in L.A. are falling on deaf ears.

Unlike 2020, this time, the authorities that normally would be brought in for a large riot situation (DOJ, FBI, DHS, etc.) aren't being deliberately told to stand down or support the rioters.

They're actually doing their jobs and enforcing the laws - that's why the riots aren't getting out of control.

The last time, the criminals had free reign ... now it's very different ...
