Over the weekend, Los Angeles reached a boiling point.
What began as a protest against ICE operations, quickly descended into something more violent.
Victor Davis Hanson laid out what happened with brutal clarity.
“This weekend we saw rioting in Los Angeles up against ICE for its efforts to apprehend illegal aliens and employers who were hiring illegal aliens.”
At first, the crowds were manageable. But then, as tensions flared, the scene unraveled.
“The riots started out, initially without very many numbers, but then they turned violent.”
“Throwing rocks at cars, torching cars, defacing government buildings and attacking law enforcement.”
This wasn’t just political unrest. It was a city under siege.
And to Hanson, the real story was what didn’t happen—leadership stepping in to restore order.
