Some people are calling this a “pogrom.” It was at best a low-level riot against Jews by Islamic terrorist supporters and Antifa with the complicity of local Los Angeles authorities. I have an article with more to say about it, but the videos speak for themselves.
The target was Congregation Adas Torah (Congregation of the Bible) but the pro-terror rally spread out to two adjoining synagogues and then the violence spread out past Kosher restaurants, a Jewish school and to nearby residential streets on both sides of Pico Blvd in the Pico Robertson neighborhood where the Hamas rioters freely attacked Jews.
Some Jewish community members stood up to them.
The LAPD was slow to intervene and generally ineffective. The failure to once again confine the hate mob to a protest zone allowed the violence to continue escalating. This was the same thing that had happened at the Museum of Tolerance and in other instances. Despite the killing of Paul Kessler at a protest where the sides were not separated, LA authorities continue allowing Hamas supporters free access to their Jewish targets.
And after 8 months at some point that can’t simply be dismissed as incompetence.
The violence was bad enough that politicians have condemned it (rather than the specific perpetrators) even as the media, including the LA Times, predictably describes “clashes erupting between both sides” condemning the Muslims and Marxists who attacked a synagogue and the Jews who didn’t want their synagogue attacked.

I wonder what it actually would take for the “authorities” to enforce the law, protect the innocent, and arrest the perps. We are this close to outright murder of Jewish people in the US. This is the world the leftists want.

If our Government won’t protect our citizens from attacks, the Good Old boys will have to step in and protect the innocent. And there are millions of Good old boys who will fight for this country and protect the law abiding citizens.

“The LAPD was slow to intervene and generally ineffective.”
That is one step above their response to the Rodney King riots of running and hiding. And lets not forget the LAPD response to one of their own, Christopher Jordan Dorner, who committed a series of killings against the LAPD in Orange County, Los Angeles County, Riverside County and San Bernardino County. The response, “In two separate incidents in the early morning hours of February 7, 2013, police fired on people who turned out to be unrelated to Dorner. Dorner was not present at either of the incidents.”
What is the LAPD motto?
“To Protect and to Serve”
What they dont tell you is that motto only applies to them.

Just can’t believe what’s happening in this country. Public education is the first thing that needs to be taken down

I agree infidel! The social engineering in public schools in the past 25 years is unbelievable. I have 3 children ages 37,32 and 19. With the two older ones it was creeping in. I volunteered often and saw the “everyone is special” agenda beginning with trophies for everyone. With the youngest, schools became something else. I could feel the division between staff and parents. The eyes looking back at me were condescending or those of the enemy. They were very closed to the public, nothing to see here, move along parents.

The Jews need to arm themselves.

It was but a dry run for the pogroms that are coming! Revelation unfolding….

Jesus prophesied that these things would “take place” just before He returns to make things right.
He gave numerous warnings which anyone, and everyone, can read and heed even if they don’t believe He was sent by God to help us.
“increasing lawlessness” was one thing about which He warned.
It will keep “increasing.”
The hooligans, criminals, terrorists are not being arrested and held accountable. It isn’t enough to “condemn” even in the “strongest terms.” But, that is about all that the authorities are doing. Words and nothing backing them.
And they will do less and less against the criminals and more and more against the law-abiding.
