Is your city rioting?

I just passed my Home Depot where usually 20 day laborers would be on the sidewalk waiting for jobs today 0 guys.

Deployment cost for the National Guard is a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of rebuilding a city which is burned to the ground. This was a wise policy decision which will save millions of dollars in the long run by protecting private property from destruction.

On the other hand, it's possible the confrontation could have been avoided completely. And so far we're just touched on the hard costs. The deployment, the property destruction. This isn't even mentioning the legal suits which will result, the lost wages for people who can't work and businesses shut down due to the activity. Like so many things, this was completely avoidable with some strategic planning and forethought.

Each Waymo Jaguar SUV cost $160,000 each x 5 = $800,000. No one yet has been arrested for burning those cars. Waymo suspended service in those areas.

Glad to see law enforcement and national guard doing their best to minimize property damage.
Minneapolis will never be the same after all the rioting and destruction in that city a few years ago. It forced a lot of good people (and their money) to move away and the rioters wiped out their own neighborhoods and now have no place left in their neighborhood to shop or do business.
Pretty insane !

I wonder who is funding their actions?

The protests are spreading to Santa Ana which is about 30 miles south of DTLA in Orange County just south of LA county. Wednesday is my report to office day in DTLA and I will check my work email and hopefully my Admin says to work from home. These protests are growing like a cancer.
