Here is What the LA Riots Reveal About Today’s Politics

This week, Behind Enemy Lines dove headfirst into the chaotic riots erupting in Los Angeles—a city where foreign flags, Molotov cocktails, and moral hypocrisy collided with law enforcement, all livestreamed in real time.

What began as backlash to ICE executing immigration warrants has spiraled into full-blown riots. And if you’re looking for clarity, accountability, or even a shred of common sense from our political class—you’re in the wrong place, friend.

Let’s unpack the absolute clown show that followed.

“Mostly Peaceful” Violence: A Masterclass in Media Spin

Let’s not waste any time calling out the most glaring absurdity: while rocks were hurled, flags burned, and federal buildings attacked, some on the Left still clung to their favorite euphemism—“mostly peaceful.”

Guest Jon Lubecky dropped the rhetorical hammer:

“How much violence is acceptable before Democrats admit it’s a riot?”

Fair question—especially after the White House’s own press secretary, Caroline Leavitt, described the scene as a foreign-flag-waving, police-attacking melee. But if you’re a progressive apologist, that’s just another Tuesday.

Protest. Riot. Rinse. Repeat.

The trio connected the dots between the BLM protests of 2020 and today’s “Free Palestine” and “Globalize the Intifada” agitators. Their common denominator? A radical ideological virus with ever-changing symptoms.

Lubecky argued the real tragedy is how these radicals co-opt the good-faith grievances of ordinary Americans and twist them into professional outrage mobs.

If you’ve seen one of these organized riots, you’ve seen them all. The signs and slogans change—Palestinian keffiyehs today, BLM shirts tomorrow—but the ideology, tactics, and destruction stay the same.

As Galloway put it:

“What percentage of the population has the time to riot full-time? It’s a small, radical subset—and they all vote the same.”

Buffoons Still Gon’ Buffoon—Even During Riots

And of course—bring on the clowns.

Enter Maxine Waters, stage left, stumbling through a half-baked PR stunt at an ICE facility during an active riot. While federal property was under siege by masked vandals, Waters decided it was the perfect time to exercise her… wait for it… congressional oversight authority.

You know, the same oversight flex that got Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) indicted.

Waters tried to barge in—cameras in tow—to “visit” David Huerta, a union head who allegedly obstructed ICE agents at an entry point. She pulled the “I’m a Congresswoman” card.

ICE pulled the door shut in her face.

Foreshadowing alert: We’ll be giving “Auntie Maxine” a proper roast when Buffoonology 101 returns this Friday.

If It Walks Like a Riot…

Here’s a quick litmus test for all the hand-wringers defending these latest LA riots: If MAGA hats stormed federal buildings for five nights straight, you’d be calling for martial law—and MSNBC would be broadcasting from a bunker.

But when it’s left-wing radicals? Suddenly, it’s “activism” and “righteous outrage.”

What a joke.

The riots in LA don’t just signal a collapse of law and order—they expose the hollow leadership of California’s political elite, who don’t even pretend to care anymore.
