what's going on and referencing an event 4 years ago is nothing new..

A disordered, sociopathic, small man is taking action to unleash the might of US military on citizens under the guise of insurrection. One party is allowing an insane, unprecedented power grab across all departments of the federal govt, resulting in chaos and reductions in health, safety, global influence, security, education, economic stability, and preparedness.

We don't have benevolent elected official...far from it. The opposite. That's the context of this LA event.
