Related: About this forumWho is rioting in downtown L.A., demonstrators or habitual agitators?
KTLAOn Monday, Bass expressed her deep frustration with those choosing to engage in illegal behavior, using the cover of immigrants rights as a reason to cause mayhem.
I just say to anybody that does that, dont come and say you are supporting immigrants rights. You cant possibly be supporting immigrants and vandalize our city, she said. You will be arrested. It might not happen that day, so dont think that because you went home that night that youre free. Theres a lot of videotape, investigations that will take place and you will be held accountable and, frankly, need to be separated from the people who are fighting on behalf of our immigrant community.

I believe investigations will show outside agitators.

There was a craigslist ad that has since been taken down offering up to 12k per week for "toughest badasses willing to follow orders" in downtown Los Angeles. It was posted about a week ago.

seriously young guys who like mayhem. We have the looting and tagging every time we win a sports championship. Theyre homegrown jackasses.
