All the people I still know in LA laugh and laugh when they hear that "Los Angeles is burning." I made a couple of maps to show just how tiny and localized the protests are. GOPers are working really hard to make an excuse for declaring martial law. People should be very wary of that.

I drove by the protests after grabbing some Thai food downtown to take home, was not really a big deal. I'm sure rush hour over there is a nightmare ATM but that's just LA life
