Be careful if going to LAX, big anti government in eastern Los Angeles area. Check if any airline notices
This is not a “riot” as per the misleading thread title; it is a large scale protest.
I have no doubt however that the Trump administration WANTS a riot to justify what they already want to do—to smash and intimidate.

Them Dems…they wrote the book on it! 
Little bit of Peace Frog from the Doors
There’s blood in the streets, it’s up to my ankles (she came)
Blood in the streets, it’s up to my knee (she came)
Blood in the streets, the town of Chicago (she came)
Blood on the rise, it’s following me
Think about the break of day

Seems like riot to me, cars on fire and flighting with police on streets, a protest would not burn cars? My Taiwanese friend there worries, she says seems more unsafe now. Big number of Taiwanese hope they get by ok.

I’ve never noticed the “she came” bit. I had to go to youtube to check. Strange days.

Thank you for the blast from the past.
This thread however is about events in 2025.

That’s one thing some of posters on here will never get–some of us are the offspring of hippies that lived and went to uni in the US in the 60s. Grew up to the songs, the leftist politics etc. (before being turned to the dark side ha ha). Means I know what buttons to push, and often how to win in debate. And I do 9.9 times out of 10.
Remind me to bring that up when you go off on historical rants on the KMT..

What happens in 2025 stays in 2025.
And the fascists right now are NOT the Democrats despite your determined attempts to muddy this issue.

I was more interested in my knowledge of The Doors than your debating skills.
It reminds me of when a mate put Five to One on mono. A bit of an eye opener.

I wonder what they do in there, Summer Sunday and a year?
If we can figure out how to do it for money I’ll play.

Taiwanese people worry, feel unsafe and uncomfortable about anything.

I think this is wise advice. The situation is extremely volatile.
In fact, if you have travel plans to any other major American city on the West Coast, I’d hold off on that if you can, at least until we see how this develops. If you must travel then obviously try to stay in wealthy areas, especially in LA.
I would avoid travel, if possible, to any so-called “sanctuary city” (like LA) for the time being, anywhere in the US.
The situation is very similar to the George Floyd riots in 2020 in that the violence is downplayed but very real. Because sanctuary cities purposely fly in the face of Federal immigration law, these cities are vulnerable at the moment.

The USA in general is best avoided?

Not what I said, please read carefully.
I do advise to avoid sanctuary cities for the moment, anywhere in the US. A sanctuary city will identify itself as such on its city government web page.
