  • Iran: Dueling Mobs in L.A.'s Streets

    From BTR1701@3:633/10 to All on Sunday, March 01, 2026 20:11:19
    There were dueling mobs in the streets of L.A. yesterday in response to the attack on Iran.

    The one around the Federal Building in Westwood was the celebration mob. They were mostly Iranian ex-pats who had personal experience living under the vicious rule of the Islamists in Iran. They were delirious with joy at the
    news of Khamenei's demise and praised the Trump administration for putting an end to decades of both their personal suffering and the suffering of their loved ones who are still in Iran.

    The mob around City Hall downtown was the celebrity-studded anti-Trump, pro-regime mob. These were mostly middle-aged woke white women who know better than actual Iranians what's good for them. When told about the (much larger) crowd in Westwood that was celebrating the downfall of the mullahs, Jane Fonda said they?re good people and she sympathized with them in their na‹vet‚ but that they?d been brainwashed with disinformation from the Trump people.

    In other words, it's pretty much status quo here in the land of lunatics.

    Brainwashed huh? Tell that to the families of the thousands of unarmed civilians that were shot during the protests!

    People like Jane just never quite get around to understanding that THEY
    are the brainwashed ones!

    My condolences. I'm hoping someday people will use common sense again
    and we'll all be on the same side on many issues. Unfortunately, the "activists" all seem to be sure that The Revolution is imminent so they
    have to keep pushing.
