What do they intend to do about it? Nothing.
After the shocking scenes from the attacks on a Los Angeles Jewish community by an Islamist and leftist mob, and the resulting outrage, politicians from Mayor Karen Bass to President Joe Biden decided to condemn it in the same general terms.
They condemned the actions, but not those behind it.
It’s nice that most top statewide officials finally condemned attacking a synagogue, but they did not condemn the movements and the ideology behind it. There would have been no such reticence had they been white supremacists.
Antisemitism is bad, California and federal elected officials agree. So is attacking synagogues. What do they intend to do about it?
They’ll condemn it without condemning those responsible or taking any actions against them.
I wrote about the violence here in ‘What I Saw at a Terrorist Rally Outside a Synagogue’ and also more briefly here, and the overall message was there were lessons to learn from this. Over the past 8 months there have been similar ugly incidents that played out the same way because the LAPD failed to emplace and maintain protest zones that would keep terrorist supporters and Jews apart.
Will anything change the next time around? Don’t count on it.
Patrols will briefly increase in Jewish areas but the next time terrorist supporters come to a Jewish neighborhood, the authorities will not do anything differently. I hope to be proven wrong, but I doubt that I will be.

Sing it democrats!

Tending to prove again that the single greatest enemy of America is not the Islamic world, not China or Russia, not the forever dysfunctional Latin American world (replete with drug cartels and other losers), not the UN and other global agencies, not Canada while still horribly governed by that utterly pathetic and destructive control-freak, one Justin Trudeau, et al.
No, the single greatest enemy of America is the Democratic Party of the USA and which entity has become the ultimate enemy within. And why anyone still voting Democrat is a fool at best, and a malicious human being at worst who desires the destruction of America.
As long as the Democratic Party continues to exist, America is in profound trouble. Problem is there is no end in sight to this most destructive enemy of America. Damn.

Wellington,
100% agree.
If the Democratic Party goes the way of the Whigs, what might / should it be replaced with?

Split b/w Greens & Libertarians? The Civil Liberties part of the party can support the Libertarians, while the Marxist part of the party can switch to Greens?

OK who did it, I don’t think it was the Catholics or Lutherans, could it be the Islamics? I know it was ALIENS that came down from space and attacked the Jewish Synagogue.

They can only do that in a red state like Florida where Gov DeSantis has made it clear that if rioters fill the streets, it’s okay for motorists to run over them in self defense
Otherwise, in a New York or California, the cops will go after them! Remember the bodegas case, or the one in the subway where Daniel Penny got dinged for his chokehold of Jordan Neely? That’s what will happen to someone in that predicament
