LA High School Walkout to Protest ICE Turns Into Street Brawl, One Person Stabbed

Beege wrote about some of the excitement happening in Los Angeles last weekend and into the work week. Hundreds of protesters jammed traffic on the freeways in a protest of ICE immigration raids. Starting Tuesday high school kids were walking out of school to join the protests. And as always when left-wing agitators get bored they turn on police.

I think this was earlier in LA on the 101 freeway during the “ICE raid protests”. Protestors smashed all the officers windows, jumped on the car and a man fell, appearing to get KO’d or a broken neck! #LAPD #CA #ICEOperations #immigrationprotests #fafoamerica pic.twitter.com/ro9a5iuEY2

Today was the fourth day of these walkouts and things turned violent with a fight in the street and someone being stabbed.

One person was stabbed when a crowd gathered Friday afternoon at Grand Park in downtown Los Angeles during a protest over White House immigration policies.

The person, identified only as a teenage male, was hospitalized in critical condition following the stabbing in the 200 block of North Spring Street near Los Angeles City Hall.

What happened and why? So far no one seems to know.

KTLA’s Rich Prickett estimated that there were several hundred people outside the city hall at about 1:30 p.m. The demonstration was cleared by 1:50 p.m., police said.

It wasn’t immediately clear if the individuals involved in the brawl, including the person stabbed, were students, or if they were legal adults.

There’s video of the brawl but it doesn’t reveal who started this or what the issue was. All of the people involved look like high school kids. There was no opposing protest going on that I can see.

Video of the victim being taken away. He’s conscious at least.

Julio Rosas caught someone being led away by police but doesn’t know for sure if this was the person responsible for the stabbing.

And to be clear, I don’t know if this is the stabbing suspect. In the chaos of the crowd, I didn’t see what caused the arrest.

Is this the same brawl or something different? I can’t tell.

Here comes Mayor Karen Bass swinging into action.

Violence of any kind will not be tolerated. LAPD has responded and is working to keep Angelenos in the area safe.

The City of Los Angeles supports free speech and the right to peacefully protest — but those who commit crimes will be held accountable. https://t.co/SkWac4pBYU

Maybe we ought to stop the high school kids from walking off campus en masse now. This isn’t happening at one school it’s happening at multiple schools in the area.

Of course adults are different. They have a right to protest. But these are high school kids who are supposed to be in school. This doesn’t happen without administrators and parents deciding to look the other way.
