They are, have been and will come from LA, valley, Bakersfield to prey on decent, hard working tax paying citizens of SCV!
The statistical significance of what they are protesting is literally not understood by any of these low iq protesting zombies, they are only virtue signaling in their ignorance.
If you truly care about black lives go protest the real issues, like black on black crime.
do you think looting, violence, and blocking roads will make racism better or worse?
(blacks in america are free btw, racism is not a huge issue statistically in 2020)
any sensible person is standing on the sidelines is looking in disgust as these people make a fool of themselves, but when our children and families are threatened you will not be met with the same tolerance and benevolence for sure.
to all these nonviolent protesters i would say go hit the books, understand what youre protesting, then come back and protest something real you absolute msm zombie
