    Hmmmm ..... LA looks like a 3rd world country. Could it possibly be due to demographics?

    What "demographic" would that be, specifically? Age? Gender?

    Any. All. Who’s rioting?

    Do the overall demographics of the city of LA proper and the surrounding communities lend itself to this sort of third world behavior? I don’t think this is happening in Yorba Linda, Fullerton, the valley, Long Beach, Hermosa Beach, Huntington Beach. But, I could be wrong.

    I suspect that you are trying to hint at something but don't want to say it out in the open. The city of LA has just about every demographic that you can think of living in it. That is generally true for cities that large. And I don't think one of the most expensive cities to live in throughout the entire world is "third world."

    And yes, there have been quite a number of protests in Orange County, one of which turned violent and saw the arrest of a few people.

    Think what you want …. I asked a relatively simple, straightforward question that your profound political bias renders you incapable of answering.

    The question isn't simple or straightforward ("demographics" is a term that literally applies to any difference between people and you are unable to say what "demographics" you are even talking about and protesters have been of many demographics- there are people in protests that are of every race, gender, age, religion, etc.) and relies on highly questionable assumptions (that LA is third world) taken as fact.

    I'll go ahead and guarantee that the vast majority of people protesting are not illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants aren't generally going to risk capture and generally have to work jobs, which are still happening all over the city.

    There are likely low educated libbies of all types who are causing danger to themselves and others.
    Nice try.
    Democrats always try to make it about color of skin.
    Sad. Weak. Disappointing.
