Who’s Paying For This?

Some of the questions being asked about the riots in Los Angeles is, “Who is paying for this? Who is paying the protesters? Who is supplying the rocks and masks?”

On Tuesday, Red State posted an article that provides some of the answers to those questions.

The article includes a number of screenshots from X providing information:

Regarding the face masks, the article concludes:

Sounded like the reporters couldn’t quite believe it.

There were a bunch of them in the truck, as well as boxes of something else. The UVEX bionic face shields appear to run from about $35-60 online depending on where you get them from. You’re not going to wear that just to “protest,” as the reporters noted, you’re going to wear that because you anticipate being involved in a confrontation with the police.

Meanwhile, Democrats are blaming Trump and ICE, with Mayor Karen Bass saying the answer is to “stop” the ICE raids and people like Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) pretending there was no violence.

It’s the Democrats’ failures that fostered the situation in the first place.

There is nothing ‘grassroots’ about these riots. Someone is directly funding them–paying the rioters and providing equipment. That person needs to be found and put on trial for insurrection.
