The boys are back in town and the summer is really heating up in Los Angeles, with Marines deployed to the streets of one of America’s most important cities in a move that has inflamed tensions on all sides of every aisle. It’s a turbulent time with emotions running hot in every direction.
At the very least, one thing we can agree on is that marriage visas, pregnancy rates, and 25% APR car loans are about to spike across LA County in the immediate future.
As a Marine veteran living in Los Angeles, I will tell you that the place is in fact not a warzone (I’ve been to those too). Los Angeles is a massive sprawl and it’s hard to fathom if you’ve never been here, but the protests are limited to a relatively small area near downtown. I don’t think anyone wants… well… any of this to be going on.
One can only hope that cooler heads prevail.
