    We just got notified that we are closing at 7 instead of 9 due to potential trouble in the area.

          Hollywood has a huge crowd of protesters which will possibly become another hot spot.

              High speed pursuit of black sedan Dodge challenger with looters threw out an orange flourescent bag they hit a pharmacy in Van Nuys, 2 passengers jumped out helicopter following driver. LAPD was chasing but may have backed off due to reckless driving on Van Nuys Blvd, aggressive driving on opposite side of road. News helicopter still following. Going thru Burbank & Panorama City. Blending in traffic but agitated driving. Hope they catch him, I need to start cooking my dinner.

                  I inventoried my supplies: 2,000 rounds of .223, 1,000 rounds of 9mm, 250 rounds of .38sp, 500 rounds of 20ga 01 buckshot. I also looked up the laws for deadly force in OH. Weird times.

                    News helicopter showing about 15 in custody outside Walgreens in Van Nuys, chalk up another win for the good guys. Nice.

                      A group of alleged looters square off against business owners in Van Nuys as police converge onto the scene. The tense moments were captured live in front of our FOX 11 news camera.

                            I believe most of those protestors can care less about George Floyd. I think many just want to feel as if they belong to some sort of social justice movement and others are just a bunch of animals looking to destroy property and steal.
                            We have the fake news, we now have FAKE OUTRAGE .
                            I don't believe racism is a big problem, but I do believe its a money maker for a lot of news organizations, colleges, and politicians.
                            I do believe many blacks dislike whites. There is racism everywhere and there always will be. But as I said, its not nearly as bad as the media purports it to be.
                            The black culture is self destructive and needs to be addressed by individual blacks and black leaders. Why isnt it? There is a lot of money to be made in the business of racism.
                            That is the real problem with black lives matter. People thinking that Racism is not a big problem. It is. There is an undercurrent that has been perpetually there. I don't think that violence is the answer but I wonder if we are meant to go down that path? That prior change was also lead by violence? I don't know and yes where I am it is major rioting. I believe it's due to people trying to capitalize to the "Racism" problem and instead they are taking back and taking from the "rich" because the opportunity has presented itself.

                                I drove home from work yesterday and 15 or so white kids were holding up signs at an intersection about blm. The first thing I thought to myself...If I could find out each one of their names and check their social media accounts, I would bet my life that all of them have pictures of themselves protesting, holding signs, and posting comments on inequality. They were doing nothing but social posturing. They did it because its cool and they want people to like what they're doing.
