Over a weekend in the Golden State, Ford Fischer and the "News2Share" crew document protests across the political spectrum, involving everyone from LGBTQ+ to anti-abortion activists
This is where the “Divide and conquer” strategy of Democrats gets us. People feature themselves as Hispanic, Asian, Black, gay, bisexual, trans, right wing, left wing, Antifa, etc., etc., etc. Nobody features themselves as simply American. After WWII everybody who had fought together came home happy to be Americans together. How do we get that feeling of unity back? Our President is not helping us by shaking his fists at Trump supporters. Wasn’t he the guy who pledged to unite the country?
These are the dregs of both parties. and only exist because each party supports them.
Until the left denounces ANTIFA/BLM/Radical LGBTQ tactics and policies, and the Right does the same for the radical anti-abortion/Conspiracy promoters, and both sides denounce the racists in their parties, this will only get worse.
The two 'ladies' arguing about whether one is a communist were two sides of the same ignorant coin.
Odds are really good many of these protest leaders come from white, upper middle class families. The same people pointing to Queen E as a Colonizer do nothing themselves to improve society. And keep those masks on. CA is still in a pandemic, as determined by science.
These people all needed but did not received a good spanking when they were five years old. It defies logic that these people think they are entitled to behave so badly. Junkshow clowns.
Meanwhile the 1% has succeeded in getting the 99% to fight with each other while the 1% are putting the final steps in place for the establishment of the new Global borderless state of Rich-Istan
All I can say is good lord.......and WTF.......I'm so glad I'm in the mountains of Colorado and don't have to deal with any of these idiots. Any of them - on either "side".
In many scenes their behavior made the opposing groups look indistinguishable. By observation the most peaceful one looked like the guy waving the Trump flag. Arrests should be based on behavior. Probably too common sense for this time period though. Thanks for the footage.
All excellent reasons to to sit back and consider re-engaging without a mission other than to try to listen and communicate. I got into a tense moment with a family member because I said it was nice to see a person on the "right" engaging in questioning the narrative, one that NEEDS questioning. That person assumed that I was practically wearing a t-shirt praising the person. I had to repeatedly state it's not praise to appreciate a bad narrative being questioned and how we used to live for that kind of clarity regardless of who was challenging it. The knee-jerk reactivity of folks- even the ones who swear they don't watch the news- is an epidemic. I'm going to keep advocating for dialog because without it we ARE doomed. Yes, there are spoilers out there just stoking the fires of rhetoric but all they really have are the same repeated talking points, well-worn grooves they constantly find themselves stuck in. I have to encourage people to dig deep and engage from their gut and not from some rote conditioning. I can take the heat if it's honest heat. The anger from blasting tropes is empty and devoid of any real context and I believe there's some frustration in the repeated rhetoric. When all you have is rhetoric as a response it's frustrating to engage with someone who actually isn't stuck in a rut. We have to encourage people to speak more so sincerely, get them out of those bubbles. Listening without condemnation helps.
Hollywood Blvd in the 80’s was full of people looking to have a good time. Crowds would gather, vintage cars and bikes would cruise the Blvd, and people enjoyed seeing each other. There were all sorts of people too, from all walks of life. People got along. The area was cleaned up, developed and gentrified in the 90’s and 2000’s. Now look at it. LA was become pathetic and so are these activists. No joy, no fun. People can’t be happy anymore, like it’s a sin. This looks toxic on all levels.

Diversity is the MOST divisive program

What's with all the masks? Surely most are not for COVID but to avoid indentification.
This whole mess is like the old Rodney Dangerfield joke. "I went to a fight and a debate broke out!" All this drama and nothing good from it.

Well... that was... pleasant...
No wonder we have a labor shortage. These people need to grow up and get a job.

Ford, you’re doing really important video journalism and been doing it for awhile. Keep it up, man.
It is bizarre watching their antics and repetitive chants. Can't imagine actually having a conversation with any of them.

Media driven insanity. How sad!
