Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) ~ "These protests, which have been abbreviated in the media as 'unrest,' were actually a cry of hope, and a reminder of the human need for community, the need to turn to each other to find something to believe in."

Ex-Journalist (@exlibjourno) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} "Hope” and “community” were certainly on display as they trashed that sushi restaurant and looted the Apple Store.
D.W.Robinson (@_DWRobinson) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} CHUNKS OF CONCRETE ARE LOVE.
Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} You don’t have to do this. An Adidas store and an Apple store have been looted during the Newsom riots. How is that a “cry of hope”?
Kit Shicker (@Kit_Shicker) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} Ah, yes. The cry of hope and reminder of the human need for community around the burning Waymos.
Jason Hall (@JayceHall) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} “Burn it down” is a real community builder.
JohnnyBeeDawg (@JohnnyBeeDawg) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} This is the dumbest, most lying take, ever, on this situation.
Well, that came from Brian Stelter's pie hole - what else did you think it was gonna be?
Classified (OG)™️ (@classiflied77) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} I'll bet they couldn't get a true sense of family and community in their own countries.

(((Aaron Walker))) (@AaronWorthing) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} The people flying Mexican flags are not interested in community with us. Send them back to the community they are flying the flags of.
Treadnaught77 (@clownworld77) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} This is literally a psyop campaign and I can't tell if Brian is a victim or an accomplice.
He's an accomplice, urging us to look at all of the cars in Los Angeles that aren't on fire. Stelter took the same tack after the George Floyd riots in New York City, saying that the plywood barriers were coming down, and they even replaced the trash can on his corner, which had kept getting set on fire. Always look on the bright side of life.
Tater is both a willing accomplice and a hapless victim. He's a victim of his own stupidity, which convinces him to play along with the obvious lies of the Left. It's a vicious circle.
From the article Tater references ...
David Dayen writes:
The crowd in Grand Park, and at a handful of downtown hotspots on Monday, mixed intense anger at [SEIU chapter president] Huerta’s detention, the immigration raids he was protesting when he was injured and arrested, and the presence of National Guard troops at the Roybal Federal Building, with determination, pride and even joy. You could see mini-reunions break out in the crowd, people reconnecting to join in common purpose. (I had a couple of these moments myself.) Los Angeles has thus far emerged from four days of protest with a clear set of goals: driving ICE, the National Guard, and apparently now the Marines from the city and county. And there’s a sense of this as a beginning, a cross between an organizing kickoff and a backyard barbeque, complete with the ubiquitous bacon-wrapped hot dog carts, manned by migrants as well.
"Determination, pride, and joy" … it's like a backyard barbecue, except they're burning self-driving EVs and not charcoal.
