Los Angeles Rioters Destroy Waymo Cars, Electric Scooters

Los Angeles Rioters Destroy Waymo Cars, Electric Scooters

Our brilliant Leslie has detailed the dangers of lithium battery fires numerous times.

The Los Angeles rioters destroyed at least five Waymo cars and Lime electric scooters.

Waymo is a private company offering driverless electric cars. Lime scooters are the ones you see around a city that you can rent and take around town.

These people actually called those Waymo cars to their destination just to destroy them.

The LAPD asked Waymo to shut down its app. The five cars were apparently worth $600,000.

Then there’s the scooters.

These scooters weigh around 40lbs.

The rioters burned lithium-ion batteries.

The LAPD warned: “Burning lithium-ion batteries release toxic gases, including hydrogen fluoride, posing risks to responders and those nearby.”

Our brilliant Leslie has detailed the dangers of lithium battery fires numerous times:

There are many challenges associated with fighting lithium/lithium-ion battery fires. Lithium is water reactive, yet water is often the only fire-fighting option in large enough quantities to fight the blaze. The materials burn at very high temperatures and is prone to re-ignition, which is why it once took the firefighters in Texas 30,000 gallons of water and four hours to extinguish a similar blaze.

In May 2024, Leslie wrote about the San Diego lithium battery fire that took weeks to contain.

For the protestors longing for the good ol’ Mexico, they should ponder this: I doubt the Mexican authorities – facing off with riots like this – would give even a moment’s hesitation to using real live ammunition against the rioters. There WOULD be blood flowing in the streets.

    Someone commented on the propensity of these people to wave flags of the countries to which they (supposedly) don’t want to be returned.

    If anybody knows someone in Los Angeles who might be connected in some way to the insurrectionists, it might be worth passing along this update I got from a connection who is a US Marine:
    “More people need to hear this. The Marines are not headed to LA to arrest people or do crowd control. They are headed there to crush the insurrection using lethal force.”
    If there’s any chance that affected people are in your network, please pass this along. I am sure everyone would prefer to see no loss of life in this situation.

      Actually no. I have no problem with deadly force being use to kill looters, These people act the way they do because there are little to no consequence for acting this way, Time to add some.

        Without Congress on board, posse comitatus says no. During Katrina the US forces ran around with empty weapons and the state guard following them with armed weapons to prevent them getting robbed of the select fire weapons they had

      Many, many of these “protestors” need to lose their lives. It is handling rioters and looters with kid gloves that got us here. We need to start rolling with FAFO for them.

    This has proved the point as to why deportations are needed.

      I think this is a proper moment to insert something I’m sure will be brought up at some point….

      The problem is that a bunch of these folks are just having fun MAKING the cars burn. And that’s who we primarily want to bust, But there are a bunch of the crowd who are “peaceful” in the sense they are just watching the cars burn. Which is not really illegal. Nor is cheering while they burn*. Nor filming and broadcasting it. BUT, they are ALL part of the riot, and (at a minimum) disturbing the peace. So, bust them ALL, IMO, and let prosecutors sort out who was just disturbing the peace and who actually had a lighter in their hand – and let the rioters take the risk of being convicted for torching stuff when they were “just” a cheerleader.

      (* Unless it’s further incitement, of course. And a creative prosecutor could, I’m certain, make that case.)

      Some of the ones watching it burn are the very ones who set it on fire.

We knew that the vile, stupid and evil Dhimmi-crats hate Elon Musk and view him as the “bad guy,” but, now, apparently, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai falls into the same category.

Hatred, violence and destruction are leftists’/Dhimmi-crats’/Islamofascists’ intrinsic modus operandi. These reprobates are always finding new targets for their predations.

Only a matter of time before synagogues are targeted for arson and attacks, next.

Waymo and Lime Scooters turned to weapons.
This is the point – throwing heavy object off a bridge at police officers – where a competent police force would start shooting people. This is attempted murder of a police officer. Just deal with the individuals as required.

The LA mayor says that the rioter’s are not responsible for their own actions. Well then, who’s to blame?

a. Trump’s fault
b. National guard’s fault
c. MAGA Republican’s fault
d. All the above

The more I see and hear what is going on, the more I’m leaning toward a conclusion that this is an attempt at a color revolution.

If that’s true, then we have a much bigger problem…

        They are not evenly distributed. In places where there are a million of the one there are few of the other. And in places where there a few of the one, there are millions of the other.

          thats b/c ( if you remember the border helpers aka the minutemen) were pushed away..if an actual war is breaking out and the military is overwhelmed by the left

          there would THEN be that concentration of help ,,where there was none before

          which you correctly note..are not there

        It will be messy——

        In the last civil war, the soldiers left their families behind and went out to fight each other. In this war, our families will be in the thick of it and the battle will be in our own neighborhoods and we will be fighting to protect our homes and our families.

The fuse that lit this unrest was Manson’s vicarious Tate-LaBianca murders. His planned race war has eventuated.

    The principals engaged in these riots have no idea who/ what you’re talking about. But the heads of the snakes egging them on surely do.

    I don’t think Manson was the brain behind helter skelter – I’m betting he was probably a CIA assett.

The toxic gases released in LA when they burn the electric cars and scooters are not that great a problem. If it was happening in America, that would be cause for concern.

It’s going to be a fun summer. Heads need to roll this time, no get out of jail free by DA’s and Commissar Judges

As a native Angelino, married to a Mexican, I feel great sadness over what has happened to our once-great city. I have several in-laws living in the LA area, and I am sure none of them were anywhere near what was happening in the downtown area.

Whoever those thugs were rioting and waving Mexican flags (or Central American and Palestinian flags as well), they should remember that when you are in someone else’s country, you are an ambassador for your own country. They have done a tremendous disservice to their countrymen and their communities.

They burned Waymo’ cars than busses…. 🙂

The authorities should be using real live ammo against these attacks to hurt them. It would end quickly.

So, are they trying to say the driverless taxis were repressing the illegal alien criminals?

It be a pity if the mob were told the home addresses of progressive DAs, judges. and officials but were mistakenly informed they were the houses of republicans and ICE employees. Just think of the tragedy that might occur for such a simple mistake.

I’m going to like California a lot more after the next census.

My state will have more reps and more electoral college votes and California will have less.

    Also I wonder how much of this is about the census. CA is bleeding productive citizens and businesses.

    It WILL shed political clout almost as fast in the next decade.

    They’ll just import more illegals to make up the difference.
    Census counts heads, not citizens.
