If these protests in Los Angeles are really “peaceful,” then someone please explain why riot gear is being trucked in like it’s a war zone. No seriously—why are protesters being given riot gear? Not buying it. Not borrowing it. Given. And how is this not plastered all over the front page of every newspaper in America?
Let’s start with the obvious: protesters don’t need riot gear unless they’re preparing for, you know, a riot. And it sure looks like someone was planning ahead. Someone knew this would escalate—and they planned for it.
So that raises the big question: who bought all this gear, and more importantly, who knew riots would erupt in LA at this exact time?
If actual journalism still existed in this country, that would be the story. But instead, you get headlines about “community unrest” and “peaceful assembly”—while boxes of what are being called “bionic shields” are being handed out in the streets like party favors.
Eric Daugherty noticed it. Fox News caught it on camera—footage of these full-face shields, normally sixty bucks a pop, just being passed around like Halloween candy. Or in his words:
“Fox News actually captured footage of ‘bionic shields’ that normally cost 60 dollars each being handed out to rioters on the streets of Los Angeles…”

?? WTF? PAID-FOR “bionic shields” are being trucked in for the Los Angeles rioters.
These cost around $60, each…and there are BOXES and BOXES of them being handed out.
“That’s not the kind of thing that you buy in bulk if you don’t plan on doing something with it…”

Right. So, this is a massive scandal. And yet, crickets. Where’s the outrage?
Even Newsweek had to admit what happened. They reported:
“TV cameras have captured boxes of ‘bionic shields’ being distributed to protesters in Los Angeles on Monday.
Footage of the scene showed boxes of solid, full-face masks—almost akin to helmets—being handed out from the back of a pickup truck by two women while a masked driver waited for them to unload the goods.
The footage has sparked concerns among some that external agitators are facilitating riots by equipping crowds for potential clashes with the police or National Guard. However, others say the masks are safety gear, worn as a precaution after protesters were injured by rubber bullets that the authorities fired.”
Oh, sure—just a safety precaution. Right. Because nothing says “First Amendment peaceful protest” like tactical gear and street armor.
So where’d it all come from? Did they bulk-order them off Amazon Prime? No. Somebody had these ready. That’s not a coincidence.
And that leads to a much bigger question: were these “bionic shields” part of a planned operation? Were the riots on a schedule?
Fox LA anchor Elex Michaelson asked the same thing:
“Fox LA anchor Elex Michaelson wrote on X, formerly Twitter: ‘We just saw people arrive in Downtown L.A. with truck loads of Bionic Face Shields that demonstrators quickly grabbed. It certainly seems like gear you’d wear if you’re preparing for conflict with police. Who is funding this?’”
It’s a great question. And speaking of funding, there’s more. A Craigslist ad was recently discovered—asking for “extremely tough, brave men” for up to $12,500 a week. What were they hiring for—NFL linebackers? Or…professional agitators?
Even Snopes, the world’s least curious fact-checkers, couldn’t deny the ad was real. They said:
“On June 9, 2025, screenshots of an actual Craigslist advertisement seeking ‘extremely tough, brave men’ for $6,500 to $12,500 per week began circulating on social media. Users on X posted the screenshots as ‘proof’ that ongoing Los Angeles immigration protests were “orchestrated and well-funded chaos.”
The social media posts gained significant traction, with one example on X receiving 267,200 views and another garnering 374,300 views as of this writing.
The ad itself was real — in the sense that it was indeed posted on losangeles.craigslist.org at 1:20 p.m. PT on June 5, 2025 — one day before the immigration protests began in Los Angeles. An almost identical ad was posted on austin.craigslist.org just 37 minutes later at 1:57 p.m. PT.”
So again, who is paying for this? That’s the question no one wants to answer.
Three prominent left-wing organizations are now under increased scrutiny for their possible involvement in the unrest: CHIRLA, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and the SEIU. News reports lay out the concerns in no uncertain terms.
“When anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agitators took to the streets in the Los Angeles area over the weekend attacking officers, setting cars on fire, and looting, they drew attention to the left-leaning activist groups that may have helped instigate the riots.
Three major organizations have come under increased scrutiny: the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, Los Angeles; the Party for Socialism and Liberation; and the Service Employees International Union. One of these groups, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, Los Angeles, has received millions in government funding.”
Millions. In your tax dollars.
And here’s where it gets really infuriating. An investigative thread laid it out plainly:
“Citing an investigative X thread from DataRepublican, Liz says that of a ‘number of NGOs [that] have been implicated, foremost is Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights [of Los Angeles], or CHIRLA.’
According to DataRepublican, ‘$34 million of [CHIRLA’s] reported $45 million in revenue are from government grants,’ meaning taxpayer dollars are being used to pay the people who are setting fire to cop cars and hurling concrete slabs at federal agents.
During the Biden administration specifically, CHIRLA’s revenue ‘jumped from $12 million to $34 million in government grants.’
‘The Joe Biden administration knew exactly who they wanted to give money to in order to set up situations like these riots in California,’ says Liz.”
That’s right. The Biden administration handed over tens of millions in taxpayer money to the very groups allegedly stirring up riots. If true, that’s not just corruption—it’s treason.
Meanwhile, the legacy media keeps chanting the phrase “mostly peaceful” while Los Angeles is burning.
Look at this:
“Rioters in downtown Los Angeles looted a prominent Apple store amid protests against ICE raids in the city.
Images from the scene show rioters in hoodies and masks ransacking the store Monday night. Dozens of people can be seen throughout the property before at least one individual began breaking a window in order to escape from the side of the building.”
That’s what the press calls peaceful?
President Trump, to his credit, isn’t sitting on his hands. He’s making it clear—he’ll do whatever it takes to stop the madness. Including invoking the Insurrection Act, if necessary:
“President Donald Trump flirted with invoking the Insurrection Act in Los Angeles as he tore into ‘bad people’ and ‘animals’ he said brought the city to the verge of burning down.
The president defended his decision to send 700 U.S. Marines as well as California National Guard to Los Angeles, and brushed off California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s claim that the deployment inflamed the situation.
And he would not rule out use of an authority to deploy military forces under his control to put down disturbances if he sees fit.”
We were warned this would happen. And here it is.
The left has been quietly setting the stage for this kind of chaos for years—now their blueprint for disorder is unfolding in real time. Now they’re lighting the fuse—and it’s tearing the country apart.
