Fortified by media reports of unrest and political turmoil, a couple visiting Los Angeles from Nebraska was surprised to find serene streets rather than chaos. Joe McGuire noted the stark contrast between alarming news and the calm they experienced. Protests linked to immigration raids were largely confined to small areas downtown, and while some clashes occurred, everyday life continued undisturbed across the city. The couple enjoyed a normal atmosphere, with locals engaged in activities, highlighting the discrepancy between perception and reality during turbulent times.
Despite the alarming reports from back home, Joe McGuire expressed relief, "If you're not here, you think L.A.'s burning to the ground. But you come out here, and it's peaceful."
While President Trump characterized Los Angeles as chaotic and in need of military intervention, locals experienced a serene atmosphere, with no significant unrest in sight.
