A video shared by Collin Rugg showed a snippet of the same press conference, where Mayor Bass painted a grim picture of the destruction in her city. “Many businesses have now been affected by or vandalized. Last night there were 23 businesses that were looted,” she admitted. “The graffiti is everywhere and has caused significant damages to businesses and a number of properties.”
So after enabling chaos and vilifying the federal government for trying to restore order, Bass suddenly wants to play sheriff? The move seems less about protecting the city and more about saving face after criticism exploded over her failure to lead.
The state’s Democrat leaders—including Gov. Gavin Newsom—have also mocked President Trump for deploying National Guard troops in an attempt to get the situation under control. But as usual, their partisan games have only made things worse for the people they’re supposed to serve. While rioters trample small businesses and vandalize private property, California’s top Democrats are more concerned with optics than safety.
Local Fox reporter Elex Michaelson shared a visual breakdown of the curfew zone on social media, confirming the restricted area. Yet, despite the map and Mayor Bass’s press conference, confusion and outrage still lingered throughout the evening, with many questioning the timing and motive behind the curfew.
Let’s be clear: this chaos could have been curbed days ago if L.A.’s Democrat leaders had put law and order first instead of playing political games. Instead, they allowed the violence to spiral out of control—only to turn around and scold the Trump administration for trying to put the fire out.
For days, Angelenos watched as their neighborhoods fell into anarchy. But the moment Mayor Bass felt enough political pressure, she tried to flip the script—offering a Band-Aid fix to a hemorrhaging crisis.
The people of Los Angeles deserve better. They deserve leaders who prioritize their safety, not their party’s narrative. Mayor Bass may have finally imposed a curfew, but it came far too late for many business owners and residents already devastated by the lawless destruction she allowed to fester.
